MISSION IMPOSSIBLE FINAL RECKONING is a somber reflection on the series with an exhilarating final hour and a meandering first hour 30. Overlong and overwritten the franchise fun is traded out for incessant exposition and needless retconing that prioritizes connective tissue over everything else.

Having completed my #missionimpossible rewatch ahead of FINAL RECKONING, here are my rankings. There's not really a bad entry, just less successful ones that aren't better than the series' peaks - which are extremely high and as good as movies get, period.

DEAF PRESIDENT NOW was one of the biggest surprises of #SundanceFilmFestival a riveting documentary about the power of protest, perseverance and representation with impeccable sound design. Highly recommend this hidden gem. On #AppleTV this Friday.

Had an interesting non-Star Wars catch up day today. Would've added The Surfer and The Shrouds but didn't wanna leave my house today.

I could write an entire dissertation about the juxtaposition of these two scenes and their thematic impact and purposeful construction and context as it relates to music history and both the black and Irish experiences as well as how and why they're so vital to the story being told in #Sinners

#HellOfASummer is a hell of a lot of fun. A well crafted/written 80s homage to the sleepaway camp slasher genre, there's enough laughs and self awareness to make up for its overall lack of actual onscreen kills. Release Finn Wolfhard from the Netflix dungeon. Let that boy cook.
