Modern Mars Hill

I'm genuinely disappointed that the sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is officially titled Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald . JKR had already established a wonderful pattern: that each prequel movie set in the Wizarding World could be named after a textbook. Instead, the name of the franchise is now Fantastic Beasts , leaving us with 2 problems: 1) " Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"  is simply too long (it's so long that I copied and pasted it that time). We usually abbreviate it Fantastic Beasts , but that doesn't mean  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (copied and pasted again) anymore. That name refers to the franchise as a whole. It's a similar problem to when Star Wars  got retitled Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope . Years later, people still hear Star Wars  and don't know if it's talking about the franchise or the film. Hopefully, people will start calling  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (co...

CBS: Please reboot the Mission: Impossible TV show The 2 most recent Mission: Impossible films have been box office successes, allowing a TV show to ride off the success of those films. The original series was well-received enough that the grandparents who watched the original series would want to see the new series. Mostly, the movies have a serious problem that a TV show would fix. Problems=opportunities to make money. Here's the problem: We've had 5 Mission: Impossible mov ies, and in 4 of them, Ethan doesn't have the support of the IMF for the most important parts of the film. The characters are always shocked to have no IMF support, but the audience isn't anymore because we have barely any concept of what the IMF even is. We see a few shots of the inside of the IMF during the cold open of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, and that's the best we've had in over 11 years. Of course, having Tom Cruise in a TV show would be insanely expensive. Gett...

I love Mission: Impossible . It's the only film franchise to have 2 spots in my Top 10 Favorite Movies, and Mission: Impossible 6 is my most anticipated movie of 2018. Mission: Impossible just does so well at one of my personal favorite things in a movie. Mission: Impossible 2 ... isn't like that. Mission: Impossible 2 felt like watching a child who had grown up HEARING about Mission: Impossible trying to make a Mission: Impossible movie, but he missed what really makes a Mission: Impossible movie. So what are the essential elements of a Mission: Impossible movie? There has to be a distinctive stunt. M:I 1 has the Cable Drop M:I 3 has the Swing M:I 4 has the Building M:I 5 has the Water... and the Airplane... and the Opera... and... M:I 2 doesn't really have something like this. Its most stunt-like sequences are a rock climbing scene that has nothing to do with the film and a cable drop that pales in comparison to the first film's drop's t...
