I didn't get two separate ones at a single showing, but I did see two different ones overall (IMAX seemed to have a different one than the standard showings).
If he'd been on my IMAX theater, he'd be in the clouds. Wouldn't put it past him.
I take it you take anti-depressants?
From what I’ve heard Tom’s not a fan of those ironically
I rather liked the Cruise opening with a thank you, it's different and seemed sincere. I truly believe what he said in that promo. It didn't overstay it's welcome. I think the same thing was done before Maverick?
I recall when Elvis on Tour went out to theatres remastered Elvis's wife did a small thank you before the movie. As an Elvis fan I thought it was a nice touch.
He wants butts in the seats in the theater and expresses this appreciation. I'm OK with it and definitely OK with his desires to make movies for the big screen. Kudos to him.
I must admit, movies always look weird to me with the 'motion smoothing' on. So mine is permanently off....
It's interesting that it has become somewhat of a default feature on most modern televisions unless you switch to "Cinema Mode" (where my TV lives) or turn it off manually. I agree that it has always looked strange to me - the so-called "soap opera" effect.
Exactly right @Ryan movies do resemble a soap opera with it on. I purposefully watched OHMSS with the function turned on, and it looked utterly bizarre!!!
Picture a store in which you can get your car serviced while grocery shopping and sells pretty much anything imaginable to an extent. But there's a 99% chance that a fight will break out while you're there
In all honesty I had a Sanyo TV from Wal-mart that uses who knows what for a panel and it rivalled my Sony in the colour department. It looked great!
Forgive me but it doesn't sound like you're a fan. Quite the opposite in fact.
Agreed. I wish more Stars in Hollywood could express gratitude.
I am a fan. I love the dedication and enthusiasm he puts into the actual production of the films. I think as an actor he’s very good, even better when paired with directors like Spielberg, Scorsese, etc. But that’s completely separate from the Tom Cruise in PR mode, which I don’t really care for.
Like most YouTube channels, Dave talks a lot of utter BS; but I think this is a fair assessment of the whole thing.
If these were Pre-Covid films, both Reckoning films cost the same as Fallout did and their underperformance in comparison with their predecessor (never mind any comparisons with Top Gun) is not a big deal really.
Alas, while poor storytelling was certainly a factor for me personally, the films were definitely more victims of unfortunate timing financially.
I genuinely think some steam is gone from the MI train, so to speak. I mean, it is 8 films of largely the same plot over again, with the same lead. Audiences just got a little tired. To still pull in hundreds of millions, as you point out, amid and post Covid, is a success. The future of Hollywood needs to be smaller budgets and better theaters, however.
