Yeah, and Stephen King was going to "retire" from writing. That was how many books ago?

Nimoy wrote in "I Am spock" that he did not have fond memories of his time on MI.

Can someone ask Abrams,Orci and Kurtzman if getting stickled in a room hurts.
Ahhh. That feels better.

Only Greg Morris, the techie Barney (a breakout role and really my favorite character on the IM team) has died - of cancer in 1996. So we could have a real IM reunion movie. Think of the cross advertising:
"Mission: Impossible/Depends"
"Mission: Impossible/Polygrip"
"Mission: Impossible/The Scooter Store"
Ah the possibilities.

You could get Phil Morris (Greg Morris's son). He's a literally a look-alike and was in that Mission Impossible TV reboot back in the 80s.

No, really, that actually would make a lot of sense. Otherwise you have one guy who's been roughly the same age for 50 years and still going strong.

Seriously John Woo, do you just forget to pack your talent whenever you fly to Hollywood?

PAYCHECK. So sorry, so sorry. My flight is 2 hours late and I'm incoherent.

Bring back Brian de Palma and I'll watch it. de Palma's work was coherent, plausible, complex but not complicated, down-to-earth and faithful to the original series. the Impossible Mission Force was a detached, small, covert, CLANDESTINE and subtle (probably even private contractors). The bad guys should not even know what just hit them, even if they realized something was wrong at all.
De Palma's action sequence was thrilling but still believable - the characters were forced into the situation.
Abram's was fun, but wtf about storming a nestful of bad guys with a geek and two backups? is not exactly logical. The second and third movies tried to up the action, turning the IMF into a bullshit commando unit (I'll admit that Abrams did the much better job)
Go back to the roots: Mission Impossible should be about brains, not brawns. I have Michael Bay for that.

I also want to see people taking off their latex masks again and again and again and again and again...
It reminds me of when we saw MI:2 (MI:II?) in high school; everytime there was something implausible, we'd say, "And then he takes off his mask." and BAM, it was true!
