Whatever else I might think about Tom Cruise, I totally respect the fact that he works ass off.

This movie is popular for the exact same reason that the first one was/is popular. Hollywood can’t figure it out, but they are still a very far cry from broke.

I went to see it on Friday. I was prepared not to like it, but ended up enjoying it.
One of my very rare forays to the theatre.

Such a cool movie right from the get go. I’ve seen it twice and may see it again.
I like Tom Cruise more and more all the time. I don’t want to give anything away, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised I think even before the movie begins. And from there it only gets better. Not sappy or corny, but people that care and love each other genuinely. Love it
They even get my favorite rock-and roll song of all time - The Who’s “Won’t Be Fooled Again” - in there at a perfect time.

We saw it & enjoyed it. Going to take the grandkids to see it next week.

The film was originally supposed to be released in June 2020, though Paramount decided to hold off on the release until more fans are able to return, a move that clearly paid off.
as far as that left was concerned, I definitely believe that this was another “bonus” of the pandemic. That is:
keeping the American public from seeing a patriotic film that could have increased support for Trump.

The first non-woke movie in years blows out the box office. Who knew it would happen? Everybody except the leftist reptiles currently and temporarily running our country.

I honestly think that Hollywood, the MSM and much of Corporate America are willing to live with sub-optimal profits as long as they an ideologically acceptable (e.g., woke) message. They are not quite going broke, but they are also not maximizing shareholder value. It remains to be seen how this will work out.

Maybe you’ve seen this 2 minute Tom Cruise 2020 campaign ad. Each time I post it someone says thanks, that was funny. My kind of deal!

They are cash flow managers, not profit managers. They are parasites living on past profits earned. They are libs, spending the wealth their grandparents worked hard for. They are politicians, spending the wealth of others both past and future.

Absolutely.

To my surprise, this was a well done movie. I give it two thumbs-up.

Tom Cruise has been money since 1981.
Blockbuster after blockbuster.

Seems like America, and the world for that matter, wants to see a movie that resembles at least something close to normal behavior. The character, Maverick, didn’t get a sex change, right?

Part of it is there are almost no movies out right now.
There is the Doctor Weird-o, Buzz Pervert, Evil Tim Cook (with dinosaurs) and some horror guano.
I wanted to go out but there is nothing playing.

I had not seen that ad,
but The Biden was far more charismatic, and had an abundance of Gravitas that the Cruise guy could never match.

Went to see with my granddaughter USNA 2024 Memorial Day. We loved it. She was out in San Diego for wo weeks training. She noticed almost all the males were wearing the mustache.
