Mission: Impossible is a chance for directors to whip out the good set piece ideas they had for their dream Bond movie, with an extremely willing lead actor who can get you the budget you want, and without the Broccolis getting in the way.

Posted this elsewhere, but this is one of THE MOST intense action movies I’ve ever seen. Relentless, ferocious, and unstoppable. It could’ve been because I’m usually wound up tighter than a Chinese drum anyway, but I was on the verge of having a panic attack nearly all the way through it. Unbelievable.

I just wish Obama would stop dividing this country.

At least we can all agree that race is no longer an issue.  

Or both?

I think we need to hear from some chicks before we get a final ruling on this.

I know it’s a meaningless exhibition game, but still, I think the broadcast team should have paid a little attention to the game itself.

the parade of strikeouts and solo shots felt excruciatingly long and tedious well before the game ever made it to extras, and the National League’s late rally felt more like an unwelcome second helping of a lousy casserole than a moment of high drama.
