I fucking laughed my ass off. What a dumb fun time.
hows it compare to Game Night?
Not as good.
Its completely stupid but I just fucking love John Cena. He is such a character and his timing is fantastic. There are some really hilarious scenes but overall I liked Game Night better. Same territory though.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Goddamn, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is a fucking great action movie. It did nothing for me in theaters but I loved it now. Those set-pieces are amazing; that final fight in the parking complex would have been right at home in a Die Hard movie.
III and GP improved so much on these rewatches that they encouraged me to go ahead and buy the Rogue Nation 4K as well. Hopefully that fares as well too.

Curious as to what you were expecting? Because I haven't seen it yet either
Something a bit more generic and bloodless, like 3 Days to Kill or one of many other faceless Bourne/Taken/whatever cash-ins. Definitely not such a hard-R movie about terrorism. The opening scene is quite shocking.
