Also, it looks like they pumped up her rack, which seems a little insulting.

I'm not hooked on quick-cutting and ADD-influenced film making, often a slower pace can be rewarding, but the original M:I just does not qualify. It's in a class by itself when it comes to interminable, repetitive, time-wasting scenes, in a way that resembles early Bond (or for that matter most other 60s spy genre stuff) little if at all.<BR/>Sorry if I seem to be overreacting, but I really must disagree. I love early Bond, and none of it has the exhausting padding of this show.Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-27552674108366674882008-08-10T17:51:00.000-05:002008-08-10T17:51:00.000-05:00I think I'd equate the pacing of the first Mission...I think I'd equate the pacing of the first <I>Mission: Impossible</I> TV series to be similar to the early Bond movies (particularly <I>Dr. No</I>).

A few years back, a bunch of friends and I watched for the first time since we were kids (it hadn't been rerun in our area since its initial showing) and couldn't believe how much we found ourselves yelling "get on with it!" Pretty much the most exiting parts of each episode were the destruction of the orders and the titles.Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-70241336535635521532008-08-09T09:52:00.000-05:002008-08-09T09:52:00.000-05:00I think Karate Kid's "hand" emblem is meant to rep...I think Karate Kid's "hand" emblem is meant to represent choking the chicken.Aaron Carinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111586325088991173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-90952709605897284382008-08-09T08:42:00.000-05:002008-08-09T08:42:00.000-05:00I can't believe you didn't show Cosmic Boy and his...I can't believe you didn't show Cosmic Boy and his pink corset!SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-50244635483257439382008-08-08T22:42:00.000-05:002008-08-08T22:42:00.000-05:00I'm loathe to admit it.... but I groove on Colossa...I'm loathe to admit it.... but I groove on Colossal Boy's red and blue.<BR/><BR/>I even found the green and yellow one kinda cool in its own way...Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-9309537482055433752008-08-08T16:44:00.000-05:002008-08-08T16:44:00.000-05:00Wasn't Colossal Boy's green and yellow costume fro...Wasn't Colossal Boy's green and yellow costume from around this time so horrible that in a flashback to this era it was changed to his slightly less horrible red and blue one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-76144516382628229432008-08-08T15:53:00.000-05:002008-08-08T15:53:00.000-05:00Karate Kid's outfit makes him look like he's in a ...Karate Kid's outfit makes him look like he's in a cult!
