Yeah, but X-Men 3 will probably be a lot more fun. I am actually kind of getting tired of settling for merely "fun" movies. I mean I guess some movies you never get too old for, but seriously, sometimes over the past few summers, when I am watching the Big Summer Blockbusters, I am sitting in the theater thinking that I have crossed the demographic that Big Studios care about. Not because the movies outright suck, or are terrible, but they are merely average. Well I am sorry, but I am tired of paying $10 a pop, for average flicks. Yes I will still be suckered into some movies because they are well advertised, but I am going to stop second guessing myself from now on when I see a trailer like MI:3 and my initial reaction is to stay away from it.

 

 

That's because you are a movie snob and out of touch with what people want. :asshole2

 

Is it wrong to take that as a compliment? Well obviously not AS MANY people wanted MI:3 as the studios thought. So I guess the joke is on them.

Snakes on a Plane will own if only for Samuel L. Jackson saying "We gotta get these mothafuckin' snakes off the mothafuckin' plane". I saw M:I 3 twice over the weekend and I only enjoyed it because of the work of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Laurence Fishborne, and Simon Pegg. For the little time Pegg and Fishborne were on the screen they owned it. But Hoffman stole the fuckin' show, he made me believe in his assholeness. Good summer flick, just fun all around.

I've actually spoken with a handful of people who don't want to see it because of Tom Cruise. I think it's more overexposure than it is him being crazy about Katie Holmes/baby/Scientology/psychiatry. Some people are just sick of him right now.

 

That's understandable. Didn't the same thing happen to Ben Affleck because of his overexposed relationship with Jennifer Lopez?

Kinda, sorta. Katie Holmes hasn't been exposed to the public as much as Ben was...

It was odd and refreshing seeing Capote the day before I saw this. Philip Seymour Hoffman has the fucking range, and is definitely my favorite actor of the moment.

 

Really great movie--the Vatican City infiltration especially was awesome, and I loved seeing Simon Pegg.

Intense movie. Good stuff.

 

So what ended up happening with the bomb in his head? Feel free to go ahead and throw up some spoilers.

 

Movie ending here--

Hoffman was run over by an errant Chinese driver after detonating it. With minutes to live, Tom Cruise electrocutes himself to stop the bomb and then is revived by his wife.

 

After reading that spoiler. I'm glad I didn't bother with this flick.

 

Gayest ending... EVAH!!!!

Just watched this twice this week, and LOVED it. Makes me wish JJ Abrams directed the entire trilogy, and kept Hoffman as the main baddie throughout. Loved the newfound emotional intensity with Hunts backstory.
