MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE FALLOUT WEEKEND THREAD | 23 Friday...MM2 4.8...TT 4.25 EQ2 4.0

[The Futurist]

Tom Cruise has been in the movie star business for like 35 years.

How many actors of his generaiton lasted that  long ?

None.

His contemporaries either have became nobodies (Cage, Willis, Keanu) or loosers (Depp)

All Hail Xenu The Great !

Brad Bird believes in dangerous things.

The villain monologue in I2 is obviously exactly how he thinks and view the world.

it's weird how everyone always thinks he agrees with the villains in his movies. that'd be pretty antithetical to getting a message across. though i guess maybe there might be some truth to it in at least one of his films, he probably doesn't think rats should be restaurant kitchens

actually not so fun fact he added the "gun that doesn't want to be a gun" stuff to the story because his sister was shot and killed by her husband. so i'd guess that's a no.

What? Brad Bird's sister died in a shooting. He is definitely not pro-gun.

Ouch!! Poor Teen Titans!

 

another movie, I would bet would've made $2M more without the MoviePass drama this weekend. With the reviews it got, no way would've it not got a boost among subscriber if surge pricing wasn't hell

[Boxofficerules]

Has Tom Cruise ever done a direct to video or direct to streaming movie? 

[That One Girl]

Out of all the dumb Brad Bird takes, Futurist’s might be the worst.
