    “We won the war, but lost the planet.”

    So then you, uh… Didn’t win the war?

    Jeez, I thought I was watching The Second War of the Worlds. Tom on his own.
    Morgan Freeman shows up… and he says “We’ve been watching you” which echoes his narration from the opening of Spielberg’s film. And with those red dots which we saw as traffic lights in that same opening.

    I know I say this whenever a new Tom movie comes out… when is he going to grow up. Look around at Brad Pitt, George Clooney… jeez, Ben Affleck even. They have grown up. If ever there was a case of a career not realizing its potential. Remember Born on the Fourth of July? Rainman? The Color of Money?… Now we have Jack Reacher’s Mission to Oblivion.

    How much money’s in your bank account, Pope?

    How much money is in Tom Cruise’s?

    I’m sure he’ll heed your advice. Yeah, the world needs another fucking Clooney making lapdog Oscar horeshit.

    I think it looks pretty good. Any big budget scifi film that’s not based on a video game or comic book ? that’s a miracle these days. I’ll take it any chance I get.

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
