Mission Impossible 2: Behind The Scenes
Good day citizens...El Cosmico here.
GO DALLAS STARS!!! Whip New Jersey's ASS!
Sorry, I just had to put that in. Anyway, whether you liked the movie or not (me, I went to see Shanghai Noon twice instead, I'll probably see M:I-2 this weekend), there's a fun feature playing at Ye Olde Apple QuickTime Trailers Page.
Yes indeed, it's a 3 minute, 4 second behind the scenes look at M:I-2.
You'll need QuickTime from our buddies at Apple, and the link, for your pleasure, is to be found here.
Aah Buddy, what would we do without you? Enjoy, folkses...peace and chicken grease.

I just kinda think the M: I-2 DVD will be cool. Something about the way the whole thing sounded and looked...
-
Wow!Good to hear from you man.Loved The Birds.Yes,yes,the DBD will most assuredly be fantastic,as will the X-Men and Perfect Storm DVDs.Why?Well,one who owns a DVD machine knows it's fun to show off the ol' system every now and again,and it's especially fun to get a movie like,say,Armageddon,for one reason:SOUND.Just crank up the Dolby and let the loudness swallow the room,ya know?That's one huge perk to having a DVD machine.Invite a few peeps over ,pop in Aliens,and let the wonder that is digital surroundsound blow those lowly maggots outta yer La-Z-Boy.I dunno,maybe it's just the sadistic bastard that is me.This has been a That's Actually The Only Reason I Can Think Of To Get Armageddon On ANYTHING Moment with User ID Indeed!Hey,you must be kinda pissed about that remake of Pyscho,huh?Well,it killed Vince Vaughn's career,so don't feel TOO unavenged...
-
Since they stole his damn story, Robert Towne and his "originality" amazes me!!_____________
Silent But Deadly -
First off,I said DBD in my above message.Whoopsie daisy.I meant,of course,DVD.I saw that upon reading said message,and I said to myself,"Self,should I waste a whole message just to correct myself? It would be polite... " .Then I said " Self, you're a jackass.If some asswipe says 'Duhr duhr,you spelled DVD wrong!!',you can just say you were saying something like 'Digital Badass Disc',then flame em like a suckling pig!!!Bwa ha ha!!"So then I'm all,"Hey,self,you watch yer language!You can be a real bastard when you're drunk."So then I put this apology. There, that's doneNow,hows about Hollywood types stop making this pointless documentary junk and go about making an epic monumental sci-fi masterpiece like Blood Music?It WAS too expensive,but this is the big Two-Triple Zero!!!Movie making isn't anywhere near as expensive as it once was.C'mon,somebody make Blood Music!Speilberg!It's perfect!Put it on the backburner!Just somebody put some effort into this damned thing!!!This has been a Moment w/User ID Indeed!,and his independent blood cells are getting angry.
-
Umm...I meant Digital Badass Disc. "Now,call him a shithead!" NO!I'm not like you! "Oh,quit being a pussy." Watch your language!!Ahem...scuse me.Anyway,how can you worry about typos when Blood Music could be in pre-production right now?!??I'm serious about this baby!!I'm going gung ho!!!Everybody support it!Make it high demand!!!Aaargh!!!!This has been a Moment with Some Even Angrier Blood Cells!Watch out,gang...those lil demons can raise hell.
-
What the hell UII? The paxil run out? As far as the The Making of: Mission: Impossible: 2 goes, one hand it may be instructive to see how this sort of thing is made in order to ensure that it doesn't happen again. On the other hand, what's that saying about watching sausage being made? And Alfred Hitchcock, why did you ditch Bernard Hermann when making Torn Curtain?
-
"ON one hand it might be instructive. . ."
-
Those poor, poor crewmen (and women)! They shall go down in the annals of history as being part of one the worst movies of Y2K. What the f*** was Tom Cruise thinking when he decided to make Mission: Impossible 2 a super-duper, in your face gun bonanza? And what was John Woo smoking when he decided to direct this film? Was Robert Towne addicted to painkillers when he wrote the half-a**ed screenplay? I'll admit, the guys have real talent, but with the amount of ingenuity shown in this flick, you would think that Jar Jar Binks has more talent in his left, undescended digital testicle than all three of these men combined! I just hope all of those crewpeople got paid well, as MI: 2 made an incredibe sucking sound in theaters nationwide. Anyone who disagrees with me can go scratch!!

Chinatown. Shampoo. Parallax View. Reds. Heaven Can Wait. Frantic. Did I say Chinatown?
-
Come on people, didn't this pump you up to see it again ?? The movie KICKED ASS!!!!! Twice isn't enough, gotta see this again then after it comes out on DVD, I'll watch it a hundred billion times!!! (Sorry, I am hyped after this featurette - love that motorcycle jump!!!)
-
The Dallas Stars can kiss my flabby, unwiped keister. Even though I'm a Texan, I hate them beyond all reason, ESPECIALLY since they knocked my favorite team (and former HOME team), the Colorado Avalance, out of the playoffs. God, I miss Denver and the Rockie Mountains! I hope New Jersey slaughters their miserable, troglodyte hides. If it were up to me, I would go visit the Stars and kill them all myself with a ball-peen hammer. I hope the Dallas Stars get sent into the innermost circles of Dante's Inferno, where they will suffer pain and torment for all eternity. So says the Miracleman. Anyone want a piece of me?

We all knew it was coming. Actually, I thrive on French toast.When that runs out,my split personality Bobo the Foulmouthed Tax Attorney comes out of my id to terrorize me,and if I don't get the good stuff(French toast)within 2 days,he separates entirely and grows into a gigantic parasitic creature that feeds off of my brain tissue.Looks like a trip to Schnucks for me.Now then,um,Blood Music!!Yeah!!!Make it!!!!This has been a Moment with the Noocytes...yes,they're there.And they're coming.Cryptic,eh?

by zeno
UII, what is this "Blood Music" you keep talking about? Is it a real movie? (By real, I mean is it something that people on the "outside" of your head can see?)
-
Blood Music is no movie.It's actually a book-a not-too-well-known book that continues to be one of the greatest sci-fi novels EVER.It was written back in the 80s.I dunno if anybody else here has read it,but those who haven't don't know what they're missing.In it,a careless but genius scientist named Virgil has created something....special.Basically they're super-intelligent blood cells.They remember,adapt quickly,and can even COMMUNICATE to each other.Virgil grows to love his creation,not realizing how dangerous they really are.His projecy is uncovered,and in one quick act of desperation,he INJECTS THE CELLS INTO HIS BLOOD STREAM.I aint gonna tell ya what happens next,but let's just say whatever Virgil has is catching witht he neighbors...bwa ha ha!!!It continues to amaze me.Then a few years back talk was brewing about a MOVIE ADAPTION to this baby!My heart leaped!Yes,I thought!!I film that will truly be mind-blowing!The greatest sci-fi epic since 2001!!Then they decided the ending alone would cost more than Titanic,so they threw it into the pist od development hell.NOOO!!!Bad!!It must be made.There.Everybody rally behind me!I've got my blue makeup and kilt,and I'm a-yearnin fer sum bloodshed!So,yeah.I'm only 85% insane,BTW.This has been a Hi There Ralphie Moment w/Me and My Crazy Intelligent Blood Cells.See?Now ya get it.

First off...Dallas sucks monkey cocks...and yes, they can fuck off and die

UII: Would Blood Music make a good post MI:2 project for Tom Cru
by zeno
(Sorry, I have the feeling I have to keep inserting MI:2 references or run the risk of getting booted off this board.) How about Robert Towne adapting the book, which I've come to find was written Greg Bear? Does John Woo know that it gets 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon's customer review rating? I will try to read it by the end of this week and let you know what I think. This has been a The Talkback Is Not A Forum For Advancing Your Own Personal Agenda Moment, from UII's Sancho Panza, Zeno.

Sweet Merciful McGillicutty! Sister Satan's baby shower!

Egads! It is today! I must board my ship, the "Day Dream" and set sail for the unkempt savagelands of Austin, where I must dispose of Sister Satan! Her unholy, unborn child, Kublakhan, must not be allowed to enter this world! Forget about the French Revolution or my trifles with M. Chauvelin, the accredited agent of France! The entire WORLD needs saving from this abomination that carries the mark of the beast! Off I go! --They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere! Is he in Heaven, or is he in Hell, that demmed elusive Pimpernel?

TEQUILA SUNRISE! Oh, don't mind me---I'm just down in the dumps 'cause my beloved Knicks lost to those corn-fed freaks, da pacers (boo!) and so I'm feeling cranky. As for Bernie Herrmann, he probably got a good look at TORN CURTAIN and became violently ill---it's my least fave Hitchcock flick after the truly godawful TOPAZ. The leads, NEWMAN & ANDREWS are young and beautiful but the pic itself is minor Hitch, dontcha think? Thank god for FRENZY or the end of the Master's career would have been nothing but a slide into mediocrity after the top-notch thrills of THE BIRDS. Peace.
-
indeed, Colonel, NBN is classic Hitch, with a tremendous Herrmann score. No need to rent it, though, as I proudly own a copy. My fave Hitch is, was, and always shall be VERTIGO, however. Peace.

I was just about to download the behind-the-scenes clip, then I remembered that yesterday I found out what everyone else already knew... Mission Impossible 2 sucks! The first two acts are as boring as bat shit! The 'twists' are more predictable than 'Bold and the Beautiful'! There's absolutely no chemistry between Tom Cruise and the girl (Thandie something)! The Australian said 'mate' and the end of nearly every sentence (I'm Australian and I wouldn't say 'mate' if it stopped me from getting a hysterectomy)! There are only two action scenes, and the first one was boring (in the guarded building)! In the two action sequences, Tom Cruise suddenly turned into a super-hero (guns blazing), before returning to a spy in all the other scenes! They barely played the theme! The dialogue was uninteresting! The bad-guy was boring! The plot cheated by over-using the masks! The story was too simple (killer virus? Uh-oh, they may as well have said killer bomb)! The scientist guy was a living cliche! Slow-motion was over-used! Waiting an hour-and-a-half to see three minutes of action wasn't worth it!

Nothing like having a cutout of Jimmy Stewart's head bathed in weird lighting coming right at you. In fact, a dream sequence like that in It's A Wonderful Life would have really put it over the top in my book. (Actually, Capra did get a little creative when George was losing it.) But I digress. At the risk of sounding like David Spade, I'd like to say that I liked North By Nothwest the other time I saw it, when it was called The Thirty-Nine Steps, OR Saboteur, OR The Man Who Knew Too Much, OR the original Man Who Knew Too Much, etc. In fact, I even liked that movie in some of it's non-Hitchcock incarnations, including Marathon Man. The Paranoid Thriller, usually a globe-trotting affair, where the only person you can trust is the person you love, and sometimes you can't even trust them. Hell, in No Way Out, you can't even trust yourself. One version of this story I did not like however was the original Mission Impossible movie (See? It all comes back around). That smug Tom Cruise guy! "You haven't *seen* me upset!"??? (Very bitchy) He's hardly an everyman that we can all relate to at this point. And finally, Hermann had written a pretty cool score for Curtain, but Hitch ditched it at the last second for some inexplicable reason. [Insert clever closing catchphrase here.]

There it is folks. On your left, the wild and elusive BORING PLOT!!!!! Everyone remain calm, keep all hands and legs in the vehicle, and please, no flash photography. The most popular of them all, this one is more commonly known as Mission: Impossible. With a "suprise" villian that wasnt much of a suprise, few charcters to really care about, and a boring train sequence, this is one you dont want to approach unless youre a trained professional.

the reason mission im possible 2 sucked is because it was compared to the 1st one, the first one was fantastic because tom cruise did amazing things without the needs of guns and slow motion crap(by the way the over did it, if they wouldnt of used it it wouild be like watching the mod squad ugh!)and the only weaponf he really had was that piece of gum where they used it perfectly with the helecopter scene couldnt be dont better. and the directors were totally different, jon woos great i loved face off but comon pal, mission impossible was interesting cause of the complex plot in this one sounds like a playstation game, i dont think jon woo should of directed it mission impossible was good because of plot not gunz well later people!:)

Let's talk business shall we? If you recruit others to my evil ways I can arrange for an eternity of looped showings of Alien 3. For a lifetime of pain and misery (some like to do this through marriage, but I don't insist)then it's a looped tape of MI2. For your immortal soul however, I'm doing a special, where the people of your choice will be forced to watch Star Wars: The Phamtom Menace, WITHOUT the Pod Race or the Lightsabre Battle. **** User ID Indeed, I think your Blood Music film should definitely be made. I could get it made, but then there's the unpleasant matter of the bill...

user ID indeed!, you've sold me on "Blood Music." I gots to check out that book! For all I know, the sadistic blood cells inside you may be planning world domination (Moriarty's got nothing when it comes to unicellualar, eukaryotic organisms!) but I'll support yer decision to get "Blood Music" made as a movie. Anyone who disagrees with user ID indeed! (or me, for that matter) can go scratch! If any of you freaks who loved that waste of celluloid known as "MI: 2" try to get near me, I'll kick you repeatedly in the groin, kidney punch you until you vomit, force feed you a 9-year old can of Super Mario soda, and bludgeon you repeatedly with a Colorado Avalanche collector's puck (Long live the Avalanche!) and a videocassette copy of "A Vampire in Brooklyn!"

I was prepared to dislike this film due to my personal dislike of John Woo the man (anyone whose ever read my previous MI:2 posts knows I hate the little f&^%) but to tell the truth....I liked it. Its a stupid silly action flick but lets face it it's not like it had pretensions of being anything else. Richard Roxborough's smirk during the scene where Tom is about to get shot was one of the best reactions in the history of film....I know its only one shot but it was just magic. Action flix should be judged by their own standards and compared to MI:1 this was a great film...not perfect but enjoyable.
-
At the risk of giving away too much,once those "intelligent cells"get into the body,they affect ALL the cells,slowly transforming Virgil.That's all I wanna say,though.BTW,thanks for being my buddy...sniff,sniff,it's so nice to be loved...SOB!"My GOD,you're a puss."You shut yer mouth,Bobo.This has been an Answer from The Gleefully Schizophrenic Guy In The Backrow!

Has anybody noticed that a shitty summer movie will come out, and some people still love it and see it again and again. They defend it to the end with people who say it was bad. Then after summer is over and the hype is gone and the video comes out or it comes on cable, they hate it. "Oh yeah, I saw that, it sucked" "But you thought it was great 8 months ago." "Well, this one scene is cool." Yeesh, people say they want more than special effects and stunts yet they continue to love crap like this. I like a good leave your brain at the door/ have a good time/ breezy summer movie as much as the next person, but movies now just keep getting worse and worse. I mean, people actually liked things like Armageddon and M:I 2. I am stunned at the pretty decent reviews M:I 2 is getting. I know Cruise is one of those stars the media loves to love, but kissing up to this awful film isn't helping their credibility. I wanted to like it. I thought it might be like the first one, fairly lame but watchable if it's on tv. But it is easily one of the worst movies I've seen in the theater in a long time. I can't be the only one. The crowd I saw it with was divided into three groups: people laughing out loud at the stupidity of it, women who just wanted to look at Cruise, and guys with those girls wanting to get some that night. Cruise is up there with Bruce Willis, movie stars whom the majority of their films are awful, yet star power carries them through.

You saw Shanghai Noon twice? I couldn't even make it through the first time! Mission Impossible 2 was a masterpiece in comparison.
