  • Hi, Hell Yea,

    I wanted to point out that your life must be filled with a great deal of excitement and ongoing joy, if this announcement prompts such a wild show of enthusiasm. Hell Yea, good for you. Keep up the seemingly pointless cheerleading. Those of us who know you, we get you, man. we get you.

    Signed,

    Fan of “Hell Yea”

• When it first came out I started to watch MI:4 on IMAX but had to leave right after the Dubai stuff basically. All of that on IMAX was pretty intense and well done. I finally saw the whole movie for the first time but not on an IMAX screen. Without the IMAX the action sequences (even Dubai) were the run-of-the-mill special F/X stuff of today’s movies generally. Which leaves the plot. Which is like a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon come to life with its retro Russian cold war preoccupations.

  Basically the idea is that an “all clear” Tom Cruise as stand-in for Scientology personally saves the world from nuclear annihilation. (Which would leave the world with a NEW-CLE-AR.)

  And I thought the theory was that “Tom Cruise Productions” would be handing off the franchise to Jeremy Renner. Cruise is in virtually every scene. He’ll be wearing Kirstie Alley’s Poise pads for leakage before he lets this roller coaster of an ad for Scientology get away from him. My guess is that the plan will be, if there ever is a new star for the franchise, that that person will be an avowed Scientologist. Renner better start his costly “purification rundown.”

  Those runs! Those intense faces!

  Cruise’s close-ups make him look like he’s taking an unusually difficult crap during his action sequences. (Hence the crow’s feet I guess.) It should have been called “Real Housewife Drama Queens of the Celebrity Center.”

  The question though is : why did it make so much money? It isn’t terrible. But it isn’t good either. I guess it meets specific criteria of what the globe expects or wants from Hollywood product.

  • One simple question to you Mark what does Scientology got to do with MI:4 being such an entertaining action movie to watch? You’re too obessessed with Tom to even raise these issues in lenght. Simple answer to your question… A lot of people liked it! And you may not believe this but more than 50% of those who turned out are not even diehard TC fans. Again, the answer to your question is: A lot of people liked it…
