The spy/espionage sub-genre of movies is in no danger of petering out. This year alone brought us big films like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Spectre, the latest James Bond adventure; not to mention news that another big spy franchise (Jason Bourne) will be continuing, as well.

With so many spies out there playing cloak and dagger games across the silver screen, it’s not surprising that there could be some creative bleed-over between franchises.

And Bobby Darin in his cover of Mack the Knife gave her a shout out (”Miss Lotte Lenya”).

It’s the best Bond movie IMO.

She’s also the only person to win a Tony in an Off-Broadway play.

The only Mission Impossibles that were worth watching were the ones on TV back in the 60s.

Remember when they first came out to.

Why would anyone even consider paying money to Tom Cruise and the Scientology cult?

I find it discouraging that none of these movie spies operate against the islam-a-nazies.

Rose is the tall slim beauty in the middle. Melissa the heavy one on the ground.

I’ve often wondered about that too. I think they do it on purpose because it makes you ponder the ad longer.

Here is a pretty good Bond scene despite the source. At least I thought so.

“The only Mission Impossibles that were worth watching were the ones on TV back in the 60s.”

Agreed.

All of the new MI’s do not follow the simple premise of the originals:

The Impossible Mission TEAM work together to solve the issue.

With Cruz is just him...

Yawn.

The woman on the TV show Avengers was hot back in the 60s.
