W❤️M - Mission: Impossible
Added 2023-07-06 10:01:00 +0000 UTCOn this month’s W❤️M episode, the gang chats about the incredible espionage action flick that started it all, Brian De Palma’s Mission: Impossible! How many members of the original TV cast either walked out of or outright refused to see this movie due to brand loyalty? How great are all these practical make-up disguises for Cruise? And is George Lucas responsible for this franchise being totally non-horny? PLUS: The guys plan on experimenting with Flatliners technology!
Mission: Impossible stars Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Emmanuelle Béart, Jena Reno, Ving Rhames, Kristin Scott Thomas, Vanessa Redgrave, Ingeborga Dapkunaite, Rolf Saxon and the great Henry Czerny as Kittridge; directed by Brian De Palma.

2023-07-21 10:53:58 +0000 UTCI’ve never been entirely clear on how the IMF functions. In M:I Kittridge is the boss, but he seems to be CIA. Then later it’s whoever the Director is, unless there’s no Director and we’re just talking straight to the Secretary. And I thought the whole point was that they were all out in the wild and just got recruited ad hoc, but in M:I 3 they definitely have a base with elevators and everything. So I just don’t get it.

2023-07-09 15:53:52 +0000 UTCFun little tidbit, Greg Morris is the father of Phil Morris. In addition to playing the son of his father's character in the 1988 Mission Impossible, Phil Morris is also known for being the man who portrayed Jackie Chiles on Seinfeld.

2023-07-07 22:27:01 +0000 UTCI was misinformed and for years I thought that Henry Czerny was Steve Martin’s brother, but someone who doesn’t have Martin’s charm or sense of humor and always lived in the shadow of his more successful brother. So, for years I had this image of Henry Czerny as Steve Martin’s darker sibling.

2023-07-07 04:58:33 +0000 UTCThe world needed more Czarny I’m glad his movie career is getting a second wind. He’s fucking perfect as a punchable weasel in CaPD, which also features awesomely goofy mid 90’s computer hacking.

2023-07-06 14:00:48 +0000 UTCHi. Contractor here who has spent a lot of time in elevator shafts and I can tell you there's no spikes at the top. HOWEVER, there are the spinning blades from Last Crusade at the top of every shaft. I whisper to myself "penitent" over and over again whenever I have to work in there.
Comrade Trash Panda
2023-07-06 10:51:14 +0000 UTCcrazy to think we still getting MI movies almost 30 years later after this one. If DR pt 2 comes out in 2026, it'll be exactly 30 years.
