So, it didn't occur to me that J.J. Abrams was the director of MI:3. Don't get me wrong, I barely give a shit about MI:3, except Philip Seymour Hoffman supposedly gives one of the better performances of his career. (I know, what fucking movies are these people watching that makes that even possible?) Anyway, I'm somewhat jazzed now. Besides, Tom Cruise gets a bomb planted IN HIS HEAD. That just screams happy ending, if we're really lucky.
J.J. Abrams note: Created Lost and Alias. I've never seen Alias, but I hear good things. Lost is the fucking shit when you can watch DVDs or episodes in one long stretch without having to wait a week for resolution, much less all summer.
To sum up: J.J. Abrams is extremely competent, and if anyone can make an entertaining film from the FANTASTIC SCIENTOLOGY SHIT-FEST that MI:3 surely would have been, it's probably him.
Also, it's 2:41 in the morning, and I just found out that the entirety of The Red Hot Chili Peppers new album is available for free listen on VH1.com
It's gonna be a long night.
