Mission Impossible:Find MacGyver

May 10, 2006

My officemates invited me to watch MI: 3 last night. We were on our way to the mall when, Thank God, they changed their minds. We ended up having a Videoke showdown instead. I’m thankful not only because I love showing off my singing prowess or rather lack of it but I hate the MI flick.

When I watched MI: 1 I was terribly disappointed. Not that I expected much from Tom Cruise…never liked him. But they murdered the whole essence of MI. I used to watch the series on TV …yup I’m an 80’s kid. I liked it better than the movie. The whole “teamwork” thing worked for me. There was the unseen secretary, the team leader, the techno wizard, the strongman, the master of disguise and the femme fatale. Kinda like CSI.And they wanted all that to fit into Ethan Hunt? It seemed that the producers or whoever idiot thought of it wanted to showcase Tom Cruise as a one man show…a feeble attempt to mimic James Bond. They should have revived MacGyver (played by Richard Dean Anderson) instead. It would have been much better. Whatever happened to him? I missed his ingenuity. He uses wit and science rather than violence to get out of any messy situation. He was cool.

Find him Ethan Hunt and make something out of your miserable life!

Got to watch the movie as george had an extra premier ticket(Thanks bai! ) so you won't hear any complaints from me. heheh

One thing that glued me to McGyver was his use of the trusty Swiss Army Knife to out of trouble. …makes me miss ng knife which I lost during college days.

If you wonder what happened to McGyver, I'm wonderin' what happened to the Highway Man and The Fall Guy. (mah gawd, nahalata ang age! ) weheheh

And now that you mentioned Highway Man and Knight Rider…whatever happened to Airwolf and Blue Thunder? was it is with the 80's and cool machines?….Black Moon rising anyone? as for the movie…it was bearable…except for the comments we heard at the back…seeing (ethan scribbling his equations on glass) a moviegoer commented "hawd man diay mag-math si tom cruise!"
