  • Never seen an excellent M:I in all my life. Craig films are far more compelling even in the weakest entries IMO.
  • M:I-2 is a product of its time and is still the coolest and sexiest entry. At least Cruise played Ethan Hunt and not just Tom Cruise. The first two are the best only because you can feel the hand of a director with a strong visual identity behind it…
  • Couldn’t care less about M:I.
  • One of the edgiest for sure and also one of the coolest... loving the vibe, the plot and the locations.
  • Except for the fact that China has at least 40.000+ casualties but that’s another story.
  • I’m planning to watch Unholy Desire by Imamura since Cary referenced it as a major influence. Pretty curious about that.

  • In Lombardy it’s mandatory to wear a mask outside home. Right now it’s hard to find masks for everybody (the Region started to distribute masks for free but especially in Milan it’s almost impossible to find them) but there are other solutions since…

  • Yeah I know as I said before. Been more than 6 years in a relationship with a Russian girl and she has lot of friends from Ukraine. Anyway Olga’s mother is Russian. Plus Olga looks more like a Russian than a Ukraine and that’s why in that part of th…
