[635.92 --> 637.98] Some of the earlier movies are a little rough. |
[637.98 --> 639.46] The third one's fine. |
[639.84 --> 647.72] But there was a really awkward period in cinema in the early 2000s when CGI was good enough |
[647.72 --> 652.80] for people to want to play with it all the time and to be cool, but not good enough to |
[652.80 --> 653.42] be convincing. |
[654.02 --> 656.02] It was a bad, bad time. |
[656.12 --> 658.66] Honestly, early 2000s was good. |
[659.12 --> 659.36] Okay. |
[659.36 --> 662.40] So I had never seen a Mission Impossible film. |
[662.88 --> 663.18] Okay. |
[663.28 --> 664.20] Have you ever seen a Mission Impossible? |
[664.20 --> 664.60] Yeah. |
[664.78 --> 665.76] Yeah, but not recently. |
[665.94 --> 666.12] Okay. |
[666.88 --> 672.58] So I recently was like, I want to see the Mission Impossible movies. |
[672.80 --> 678.30] So I watched Mission Impossible 1, having actually seen a few episodes of the classic show, but |
[678.30 --> 679.18] a long time ago. |
[679.18 --> 685.88] So I was familiar with the face covering technology and that the message will explode or whatever. |
[687.66 --> 694.18] We used to have on our, we had satellite TV and we used to have like this old timey channel |
[694.18 --> 695.56] that had all these old shows. |
[696.20 --> 700.56] So, and you know, the funny thing about it is that with the way that the programming stacked |
[700.56 --> 705.32] up on some of the channels that had new stuff that you wanted to watch, like Comedy Central |
[705.32 --> 707.46] or whatever else, we had American satellite TV, it was awesome. |
[708.44 --> 709.30] That is pretty awesome. |
[709.50 --> 714.02] With the way that the programming would stack up, if you wanted to watch during an off time, |
[714.76 --> 719.78] this like classic shows channel actually was one of the best ones because it has primetime |
[719.78 --> 721.66] crap from the last 40, 50 years. |
[721.78 --> 722.08] Yeah, yeah. |
[722.28 --> 726.92] So it would have like, I Love Lucy, which is actually a great show, holds up very well, |
[726.98 --> 728.48] at least when I was a teenager. |
[728.68 --> 729.02] I don't know. |
[729.14 --> 730.14] I don't watch anything recently. |
[730.70 --> 735.30] So it had like, I Love Lucy, it had, what's that really good one with Archie Bunker? |
[735.32 --> 739.24] Edith Bunker, Edith Bunker, all in the family, all in the family, like just like these older |
[739.24 --> 739.58] shows. |
[739.78 --> 745.04] And they would, so they would show Mission Impossible from time to time. |
[745.12 --> 748.98] Anyway, the point is I watched the first one, really enjoyed it. |
[749.06 --> 751.12] A little bit unconventional. |
[751.90 --> 755.08] You know, there were some things that were a little bit hard to follow along with, but |
[755.08 --> 755.94] I was like, okay, cool. |
[756.24 --> 758.12] This sets me up well to watch the next one. |
[758.56 --> 760.14] The next one was terrible. |
[760.72 --> 761.86] I couldn't even believe it. |
[761.86 --> 763.20] I was halfway through the movie. |
[763.72 --> 767.42] No, I think it was 45 minutes in and I was, I, I turned to my wife. |
[767.48 --> 770.16] I was like, hey, so I guess like the plot's starting now. |
[770.76 --> 771.68] So that's cool. |
[771.82 --> 773.44] Maybe we're going to go somewhere from here. |
[774.18 --> 775.92] And then it just doesn't. |
[776.30 --> 782.20] It's like, it's everything that was bad about an 80s action flick, except it was made in |
[782.20 --> 783.22] like 2001. |
[785.36 --> 786.46] Am I too? |
[786.46 --> 787.54] Maybe that's why people liked it though. |
[787.54 --> 790.76] It reminded them of the older movies. |
[790.76 --> 791.66] So here's the thing. |
[791.74 --> 792.68] Because sometimes that can work. |
[792.68 --> 794.52] Um, oh, damn it. |
[795.08 --> 795.98] Impossible to. |
[796.08 --> 797.32] Let's find out what year that was. |
[798.04 --> 798.78] Ah, blah, blah. |
[798.82 --> 799.12] 2000. |
[799.46 --> 799.64] Okay. |
[799.84 --> 800.54] So here's the thing. |
[800.74 --> 807.78] It was actually the biggest commercial success of the series in spite of getting panned by |
[807.78 --> 808.22] critics. |
[808.54 --> 808.72] Yeah. |
[808.72 --> 811.92] Although people say that at the time people were quite a bit more forgiving. |
[811.92 --> 819.30] Um, and in spite of just, just being, it's, it's awful. |
[819.70 --> 820.72] And I, okay. |
[820.72 --> 824.36] Maybe there were things about it that were a little bit more groundbreaking at the time, |
[824.36 --> 830.50] but, um, I mean, it was directed by, uh, was this the one where they have the fake faces? |
[830.50 --> 832.24] Mission Impossible is, yeah. |
[832.24 --> 833.30] It was directed by John Woo. |
[834.58 --> 834.98] Okay. |
[835.14 --> 836.38] You don't know who John Woo is? |
[836.82 --> 837.22] Okay. |
[837.46 --> 839.94] Um, here, hold on a second. |
[840.06 --> 840.14] Do you? |
[841.56 --> 842.42] Yeah, he does. |
[842.60 --> 842.72] Okay. |
[842.78 --> 843.40] Of course he does. |
[844.10 --> 845.60] Who doesn't know John, John Woo? |
[845.90 --> 847.44] I don't know, man. |
[847.54 --> 847.74] Okay. |
[847.78 --> 848.82] Did you ever see Face Off? |
[849.22 --> 849.50] No. |
[849.74 --> 850.32] Oh, man. |
[850.50 --> 852.14] But I've seen parts of it. |
[852.32 --> 853.96] Um, okay, whatever. |
[854.08 --> 859.54] The point is lots of doves flying around, lots of slow motion that doesn't really make |
[859.54 --> 860.32] a ton of sense. |
[860.68 --> 863.34] Lots of like flying kicks through the air. |
[863.78 --> 871.18] Um, so like a very acrobatic sort of, uh, plot is less important than style approach. |
[871.30 --> 872.80] He mostly does Asian films. |
[872.84 --> 874.12] I haven't seen any of this stuff. |
[874.12 --> 874.46] Yeah, no, no, no. |
[874.46 --> 876.54] You wouldn't have, you wouldn't have heard of most of this stuff. |
[876.62 --> 877.06] Like there's. |
[877.06 --> 877.46] Okay. |
[877.72 --> 879.50] Uh, he's worked with Chow Yun-Fat a bunch. |
