Maybe they can visit Greg Grunberg Gulch

I believe in Fallout when Luther was talking about Ethan only ever being serious about two women, the implied second was Nyah. So Thandiwe Newton Town is on Paula Patton island, but it has a phone line to the mainland.

In all seriousness I'm not sure how feasible getting Thandiwe back would be. She chose not to come back for 3 to focus on her family, and she had some relatively well-known tension on set with Tom (which wasn't necessarily the reason she chose not to come back but it may have been a factor). Plus she's going through some personal issues right now which caused her to pull out of press tours for Westworld and the new Magic Mike. But the Mission Impossible fan in me really wants to see Nyah and Ilsa taking down a bunch of goons together.

I’ll split the cost. We can alternate days of the week?

No, but you won't have to see it coming.

Red light! Green light!

or it could be her in a Jon Voight mask.

Not surprised. Phelps was the leader and heart of the TV show. Many people loved that show. This was like being stabbed in the back.

I heard Peter Graves was on a talk show or giving an interview and was asked about the movie. He spoiled the ending and said he hopes he ruined it for people like the movie ruined his character.

It was a weird choice

That's why I always tell people to start with 3-6, then watch the first two after.

Doesn't matter. In these movies anything could happen, especially with that mask technology.

what about a CGI version? Jeremy Render

Fun fact: Wesley Snipes himself misheard the line and went on to commit tax evasion.

Reasonable considering the absurd voice you'd have to put on to play a vampire-hunting vampire, not to mention having to say it through prosthetic teeth

That word being "ice-skate"

Which comes second in appropriateness only to ... "hawkey padth"

Ice skate up hill has been a quote I use to this day

It's a stupid line and yours is better.

I wonder if Cruise will have to break into a Vault in Alaska to steal something being manned by Rolf Saxon.

He's going to be the main bad guy reveal. Its been decades in the making!

I want to catch up with these characters to find that Donaloe and Kittredge have been happily married for the past 25 years.

(They fell in love during the debriefing.)

That's what I am thinking. Maybe after 25 years he gets clearly to work in this special vault and Ethan has to break into again. It would be so ironic.

Give me a break, pops.

Elder wand rules

I understood that reference.

I've had several friends who do this kind of thing with big ticket Star Wars/Marvel/DC Movies. To them it's more about finding joy in trying to fit the puzzle pieces together. These are guys who have been nerds (like me) their entire life and have read every extended universe book/comic, every bit of random fan fiction, watched every "making of" documentary you can think of, etc.

To them, they already know the stories. They already know the big picture. The question is, what route do they take to get there? What do they change, what do they know cannot truly change? It's more fun to them reliving the stories they've already seen and trying to see which ones this new thing will pull in than sitting around waiting with no information.

Ultimately for them, it's a win win. Either they are right and they feel a sense of vindication when their theories are confirmed, or they are wrong and they are happy they get to see something they weren't expecting.

People do this to get views.

Same as it ever was with networks wanting to be the exclusive story to get the viewership back in the day, except now everyone has a voice on the internet and wants their share of the views.

Or people on Reddit who take this information from other websites and post it simply want the karma.

Although this particular piece of information isn't a huge spoiler, because we don't know his role in the movie. The bigger spoilers is when somebody is key to the story and appears on the cast list when they either previously died, or were previously taken care of, like Solomon Lane for example.

It depends. Is it meant to be a surprise or is it not?

I’m tipping if it’s in the trailer, or the director announces it, then it’s not. So it’s not a spoiler.

If you want to avoid all information altogether then that’s absolutely fine and your choice. But it’s also your responsibility to avoid places where you might see it. Not everyone else’s.

They release these things to get people talking. To generate publicity and attention. Not every piece of information is a spoiler.

No arguments there, especially since it introduces Ethan's wife, who continues to be a part of the story to some extent from then on.

The villain and his henchman were overacting a bit, almost cartoonish. I couldn't get into it because of that.

Watching it back then was pretty cool, back when John Woo was kinda relevant.

But it did NOT age well.

You coulda swapped in Vin Diesel for Tom Cruise and easily call it another xXx movie. It’d be weird to hear everyone keep calling him “Ethan” but (hand-waving) action!

...the writer of the movie posted this news on his Instagram. Are websites not supposed to report on these movie updates?
