Oppenheimer was in the next theater over and after Fury Road started we heard nothing else from that room from then on.

Oleanna 1994
The Mametiest Mamet that ever Mameted.
The fast-talking man who's condescending to the newcomer, the deception, the Mamet-speak where lines are recited rather than spoken by real people. It's all there, x1000, & even the great William H. Macy can't save an hour and a half of:
John: *insert half-interrupted monologue*, "You see?"
Carol: "but why???" [mysterious side-eye]
*interrupting back and forth ad infinitum*Wrongheaded and endlessly infuriating, even more so in the #MeToo age.
1 star for Macy's performance. -
Mission: Impossible – Fallout 2018
H-O-L-Y Shit.
I'm at a loss on how to review this one after just one viewing.
As a story, MI3 & Rogue Nation are both more satisfying. As an action film, this is the crowning achievement of the franchise.
All I know is...when I watched this with my girlfriend, we both:
-Sang along when the theme song started.
-Nerded out when Simon Pegg showed up.
-Got excited at every "Tom Cruise run"
-Nervously held hands during every amazing action setpiece.
-Felt like we had been through something so special, thrilling, and cathartic.
