Tom Cruise breaks silence on the ‘soap opera effect’ and we couldn’t be happier

TwitterFacebook

Hollywood chimed in Tuesday on something it actually knows a thing or two about: film and video technology. And you should be glad it did.

In a short video attached to the home video release of Mission Impossible: Fallout, ageless star Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie explain, plainly and directly (from the set of Top Gun: Maverick no less), the modern scourge of TV technology: video interpolation, better known as the “soap opera effect.”

Tom Cruise and James Corden’s skydiving trip is 11 minutes of hilarious tension

TwitterFacebook

Tom Cruise and James Corden always seem to have fairly energetic meet-ups. First they acted out Cruise’s entire film career in 9 minutes, then they went on a boat trip, and now they’re going on their most ambitious day out yet — an actual skydive.

“The worst problem is, in all of this, if we both die I will get zero press,” says a nervous pre-dive Corden. “I will be a footnote.”

Well, he needn’t have worried. Terrified swearing aside, they ended up having a lovely time. Read more…

Jimmy Fallon and Tom Cruise hardly make it through this spy movie scene without losing it

TwitterFacebook

Jimmy Fallon and Tom Cruise have done their fair share of silly skits on The Tonight Show over the years. And their newly made-up Mission: Impossible scene is just as harebrained.

In a segment on Monday night’s show, Fallon and Cruise acted out a dramatic spy movie scene they’d written together playing the “Mad Lib” game. Adhering to the segment rules, Cruise answers Fallon’s random questions, and then the two use them as dialogue in a made-up movie scene.

Cruise’s answers are quite bizarre — his response to a hypothetical spider crawling up his leg was a cool “come here, darling,” — so make for a pretty strange scene. But it’s worth watching just for the pair to try and keep a straight face during their fictional train ride. Read more…

‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ is what IMAX screens were made for

TwitterFacebook

If you have any interest at all in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, any inkling that you may want to someday, maybe, eventually get around to seeing it, I suggest you do so in the next several weeks, while it’s still in theaters. 

Preferably in IMAX, if you can manage it. It’s that kind of movie.

As usual for this franchise, Fallout has a convoluted plot that’s hardly worth the trouble it takes to explain, since it’s really just an excuse to trot around the globe indulging in extravagant set pieces.  Read more…
