Trans woman and new ‘Bud Light’ partner Dylan Mulvaney now paid by Nike to model sports bras | Fox News Video
Less than a week after biological male and trans woman Dylan Mulvaney generated controversy for becoming a paid partner for “Bud Light,” she now has a paid partnership with Nike that has her modeling its sports bras on social media.
Another Matt Damon/Ben Affleck collaboration………Jesus Christ, what has the world done to deserve that ?
Is your movie snobbery as bad as your music snobbery?
Good Will Hunting is a classic movie.But that was more than a quarter of a century ago.
Holy fůck we're so old.
Speaking of old, watched Grown Ups 2 with the youngest. Yes it's shit but bloody funny. Just have to enjoy it for what it is.

It's a thinly veiled biopic of Bob Ross
You like him, you'll love the film

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say I expect the tit watch level is pretty low on this one....

Wasn't a fan of the early MI movies as I thought the link to the original TV series was extremely tenuous and the plots silly. Have to give credit to Cruise though that he worked away at making them a vehicle for his stunt work.
While Bond was getting all emo, and F&F sillier, Cruise has taken the aspects of the old Bond movies that we loved and stretched them into a great ride. -
the biggest critique i can give the MI films is lots of them blend into one in my memory, theyre quite "samey", there are six but i could probably explain 3 plots....and thats after watching them back to back last year
BUT...Cruise does know how to make a fun film to watch, dont know if i'll see it in the cinema but i'll definitely watch them
edit: actually, tried to remember some of the plots...and then realised i had mistaken a bond film for one of them...so i can recall maybe 2.5 including the first which is kind of stand alone
also, i could have sworn Ving Rhames had died, must have fallen for one of those hoaxes

Ironically the early movies were closer to the original TV series than the current ones.
As I point out every time a new MI comes out I wish they'd do one where they do a straightforward mission and aren't doing the ever present conspiracy/operating outside the law etc.
I still enjoy them for what they are though.

@Nepia The most mission impossible movie I've seen is the first Oceans 11.
That's how I remember the old TV show as well. All about a team with various skills and how they use them to an end result. You often didn't get to fully understand how the pieces fitted until the end. So very much like Oceans.

@Kirwan and thats part of the issue when they assign the MI name to the movies, there will inevittably be comparisons.
Similar to the Point Break Reboot, why?
Just call it something else, people will naturally draw the comparisons (Fast and Furious created a successful franchise from largely the same storyline)
-
we're talking about a TV show the ending its original run in 1973...im going to hazard a guess that there are far more people now that know the Cruise movies as the definitive version (lots probably only know of the movies)
-
@taniwharugby because the first two movies were missions, it's just evolved that starting point. That's fine IMO, especially over what 6 or 7 movies?

These are the greatest spy movies going though, and proper "you have to see it on a big screen" experiences.
Oceans 1 is just a terrific movie isn't it? Amazing cast, perfect plot, right level of complication and cool. So good.
