Welcome to the next-to-last episode in our “Give Me One More Chance” series. Before we get into this latest installment of the “Mission: Impossible” series (which should be called “Mission: Impossible: Too Many Colons”), we have some unpleasant business to take care of. I’m afraid our top-secret Max, Mike; Movie headquarters has been infiltrated by an enemy agent. Isn’t that right, Bumpy? Or should I say . . . Ethan Hunt?! *RIP* Oh . . . oh geez . . . he wasn’t wearing a mask . . . oh, gross . . . Wow, that’s a LOT of blood. Sorry, my mistake, Mike . . . or should I say . . . Ethan Hunt?! *RIP* Whoopsy-doodle. You weren’t wearing a mask either. ‘scuse-ems. Wow, is my face red. Well, not redder than yours right now, huh Mike? Hah? Get it? Geez, stop screaming. You don’t need ALL your skin, everyone knows that. Seriously, this could be a good look for you. Man, the floor is a mess right now . . . oh, c’mon Mike, listen to yourself: “I’m in agony, I’m hemorrhaging, I’m grotesque.” Me, me, me. Well, it’s not always about you, ok? I’m the one who has to make one of you two mop all this blood up! How about a little sympathy here? Fine, fine, I’ll get you a band-aid, you big crybaby. While I’m dealing with Mr. Delicate here, give a listen to our thoughts on this latest Tom Cruise work.

I am not a Tom Cruise fan, I don’t hate everything he has done though. I think his performance in Magnolia was pretty good and his deadpan performance in Eyes Wide Shut worked for the role, for me anyway. I also think he put a huge effort into Lestat for Interview with the Vampire, I film I hated so that is faint praise to say the least! I appreciated the effort but he completely wrong to be playing that character. Everything else is meh or banal to me.
Good examples, Vince, sort of running the gamut of his performances! Not a Lestat fan, huh?
Love hm in the TV show and books. Portrayed by Tom Cruise who apparently wanted the role but not the gay parts of it – not so much.
