I thought China financed some of his Mission Impossible films

I remember enjoying the first one, how many years ago? If I go to this one, it'll be the IMAX version.

LeBron bounces a ball for a living, I really don’t care about him at all.

I think Paramount is sending a message that making movies and non woke entertainment makes money. I haven’t seen Top Gun but I probably will. Lately I’ve really liked two Paramount productions , a 2014 movie ( recent by my standards) Interstellar and the mini series The Offer.
If Paramount produces more like that I’m buying.

Isn't Yellowstone a Paramount production?

“I remember enjoying the first one, how many years ago? If I go to this one, it’ll be the IMAX version.”

Gonna be hard to find it in IMAX in most cities. It’s been weeks since it was released. There are very few IMAX screens and most theater locations have reserved IMAX for newer films.

Go see it anyway. Wife and I went last week mid-day and very much enjoyed it in a regular/non-IMAX theater. It deserves to be seen in a theater, IMAX or no.

Why does his jacket have a Taiwan flag on in in the first place?

I mean kudos to him for not kowtowing. Mucho respecto for that. I work in a place where a lot of military also work- I’ve never heard people talk about going to see a movie so excitedly before. I am glad.

But curious why that flag is there...? Anyone know?

IMAX has spoiled me. If I can’t see it on IMAX, I’ll watch at home.

I’m starting to respect this Tom Cruise guy, despite some of his foibles. He has almost always been a great entertainer, and I’ve been impressed that he does so many of his own difficult and dangerous stunts. But never imagined that he really had a patriotic American streak beyond what it takes to bring patriotic Americans to his movies.

In the original Top Gun movie, The bomber jacket had a Taiwanese Flag Patch, and there was talk that the bomber jacket would be edited to exclude the flag. I am glad that they kept it for the new movie. By the way, the new Topgun movie is worth it.

Yup, my hubbie liked it at least through a few episodes. Did you see it?

To make up for China, I think we are going to have to go out to see this movie at least five more times. This is every patriotic American.

What message does Tommy boy have for members of his cult sent to re-education camps? What message will Tommy boy have on Judgment day when he stands before Jesus Christ and has to answer for all the souls that he led to eternal destruction?

First movie I’ve seen in the theaters in over five years. Well worth it, but bummed that THOR has taken over all the IMAX screens. Still great, though!
