I used to love the TV show, but then, I was a kid. I think I also saw and enjoyed the first MI movie. But at his age now, Cruise is a more likely candidate to HAVE an MI than to star in another one.
I loved the TV show, but I never even saw the first Mission Impossible movie because I heard that (spoiler alert) the original hero ("Jim") turned out to be a bad guy and he ended up dead. I HATE movie sequels because they always do something like this.
Please, Hollywood, stop making sequels/TV series spin-off movies/movies based on cartoons and video games. Can't you come up with something original?
I never saw any of the movies, although yes, loved the TV series. How in heck could they make Jim the bad guy?? Meaning the entire prior series was actually an attempt to kill Barbara Bain and Martin Landau. And the other really strong guy with the very large . . . hairdo.
Well done! Peter Lupus [he was the first cover boy for Playgirl magazine!] We'll see if either of us cares enough. LOL I did love Barney, played by Greg Morris.
So handsome. He played in a celebrity golf tournament with my dad, and I about cried that I was overseas and couldn’t meet him. So I was blown away when I got a really sweet letter from him ‘cause my dad told him I was such a fan. Swoon!
You set me up perfectly. A mayoral rep came to our neighborhood meeting and introduced himself: Greg Morris! I said that when I heard his name I immediately thought of the actor on Mission Impossible, and he said that’s how he got his name! I told him his mom is very smart.
Heh. When I was in the Army at Ft Polk we went out to the range to qualify with our M-16s. 11 of us on line, 40 rounds each, and Bambi walks out on to the range about 100 meters away. Every person on the line sees him and immediately and without anything being said flicks the safety from Safe to Auto. In about a minute 440 rounds go downrange.
Dave, you are a f#^@ing genius. In honor of your Tom Cruise post I am now a paid subscriber. Please take care of yourself. I need you to outlast me! (b.1950)
I’m Dolly Parton, and I’m offended.
No, I’m Dolly Parton and so is my husband.
A Python fan!
Are you THE Bob Morris, of Orlando Sentinel fame?
Don’t know about the fame part but, yup, that would be me.
I’m Bob Morris, and I’m offended.
I’m not really Bob Morris, by the way. Bob Morris is.
No, I’M Dolly Pardon. Oh wait. Pardon me. I’m a different one. Different spelling. I always get myself mixed up. Nevermind.

Willy! BTW, do they replicate all the TV characters in the movie(s)? I guess I could look it up . . . if I cared enough.

Such a handsome guy-- and he died too young (62).
No, Lupus is old and black, Landau has a week chin and babs isn't all granny looking.
Peter Lupus (gasp) ooh lala! Soooo straaawng!
Wait, did you see Alvin? He was dope ass boyish.
Broadway’s finding that difficult as well.
TC is in great shape for a 60+ guy. In fact, he’s in great shape for a 30+ guy.
Don't lie! You watched them all and ToCru is BOYISH!!!!
"We have got to practice shooting more."
Heh. When I was in the Army at Ft Polk we went out to the range to qualify with our M-16s. 11 of us on line, 40 rounds each, and Bambi walks out on to the range about 100 meters away.

And Bambi just keeps on walking.
You are not instilling confidence in us, wiredog.
Well, it was in 1987 that this happened.
Maybe Bambi's really Tom Cruise in disguise? Or maybe Tom Cruise is...
I missed the President’s party affiliation. Would I like him, her, it or them?
Love you to the moon and back Dave! (I die)
Awesome! I could hear the Mystery Villain singing to the Seal Team: "I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man"
I love it, Dave, and offer this tribute:
There’s Tom Cruise! See him sway in mid-air as he dangles.
From a height that’s insane, despite crippling pain,
The camera men get all the angles.
Is Tom Cruise blessed with special genetics?
Is he skilled in some secret athletics?
Such ideas are for cretins, not audited Thetans:
Tom relies on the Truth: Dianetics.
Scientology. Who is the boss?
John Travolta? Elizabeth Moss?
Kirstie Alley had fame; Chick Corea the same,
But Tom Cruise easily makes up their loss.
Watching Tom do his stunts you may fear
He may plunge from a cliff that’s too sheer.
Just in time, from a cupboard, appears L. Ron Hubbard,
To remind us that Tom is a “Clear”.
Brilliant rhyme: cupboard and L Ron Hubbard. I bow to your brilliance.
On target. Every single one of his films. LOL!
Oh, how I hate Tom Cruise. Why? Why? Why is he so popular?
Boyish.
Replace Cruise with
Parton in next sequel!
Dude, spoilers!
you missed your calling Dave; you should have been Tom Cruise.
Omg- I spent the last few minutes laughing so hard- THANK YOU!!!!!
Tom Cruise gives me the creeps so I am not offended. I am, however, Scottish.
(Dies.)

So glad you have as much "respect" for Tom Cruise, the "actor" as I do
Haha, "well" played. :)
