today i went to see mission impossible, and it was much better than the first few minutes would have you believe. as soon as the absurd bombast begins the film becomes effective as a diversion which is all i can hope for in my present sorry state. other films coming up which have me on the edge of my yet to materialise seat: miami vice, pirates of the carribean 2 and marie antoinette. no doubt this list will prove far from exhaustive. that is my new favorite phrase written as text. far from exhaustive. you can use it too.
