What was this one, the eighth "Mission: Impossible" movie that just opened over the weekend? And Tom Cruise is asking us to trust him "one last time"?
How many "No, We Really Mean It This Time!" Farewell Tours did The Who have? Every time you turned around, there's Roger Daltrey and Peter Townshend packing their suitcases and bringing the magic of windmill guitar to Akron, Poughkeepsie, and Des Moines.
We started talking the other day, the better half and I, about Jamie Lee Curtis and her 47 "Halloween" movies. All I know about those pictures is that Peggy loves them and that I don't. But she said there won't be any more, because in the last one, they stapled Michael Myers to the bulletin board or something. Whatever, he's done for, and he's not the Austin Powers Mike Myers. Yeah, baby!
But I told my loving spouse that the movies are in business to make...not great movies, but great money! Just wait a couple of years, and watch. It will turn out that the killer Michael Myers has an identical twin, Milton Myers, who was just released after serving thirty years in prison for failing to answer a subpoena. Freed and feeling out of sorts, he comes to town and sets off a whole passel of mayhem.
And yes, there will be more commercials with that guy Mayhem for auto insurance. Some things, they don't even bother to claim they're over with.
