Introduction: Is This the End for the Impossible Mission Force?
You can say what you want about Tom Cruise, but the man sure does GET INTO his parts, especially his Mission Impossible roles. The next installment of the legendary 60s smash TV show mega-hit turned mega-movie box-office gold, called Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, has Cruise performing two stunts that are simply unbelievable.
In one scene, he hangs from the door of a jet as it screams through the sky. Don't try that at home, kids. It takes serious willpower and strength. Plus, you can't be afraid of heights--or speed--or the two together.
The other stunt has him working underwater for over 6 minutes. The scene could have been shot in segments, but Cruise wanted to do it in one take, so he practiced holding his breath. There have been world records for holding your breath that lasted far longer than 6 minutes, but those were sedentary records. Cruise was swimming around doing hard stuff while he went without air for a full six and a half minutes. It makes my lungs hurt just thinking about it.
Step 1:
This time, the Impossible Missions Force meets up with their mirror image, The Syndicate. These bad-guys are stunt men too, as bad as or maybe even badder than Cruise or Jeremy Renner, Cruise's partner. They were assembled to stop the IMF from stopping them and their nefarious tasks. Hah!! Fat chance. As if!
On top of all that, Alec Baldwin whips out his perfectly hateworthy persona to threaten the IMF with extinction. He wants to shut them down, which of course, doesn't sit well with Cruise or Renner or Simon Pegg or Ving Rhames or any of the IMF Force. Cruise, at one point, asks Baldwin, "But what about my IRA? I just got vested in my IRA!" I'm kidding. But they really don't want to lose their jobs. I mean, who does in this economy?
Speaking of stunts, don't forget the motorcycle and car chases, which look awesome. If you haven't seen the trailer, you can check it out here.

Step 2:
That trailer is sure to amp you up, especially with the Led Zep "Whole Lotta' Love" backing track. It looks like the most exciting movie of the summer. And if you think that's exciting, you oughta get on down to The City of Angels, Los Angeles, on the 28th of July for the world premiere of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and the impossibly hard to get into after party. With so many stars, you know this is gonna be a right fine ring dang do, innit? Imagine how cool it would be to hang out with the stars of the show. It would be super cool. If you've been there, done that, well, get there and do it again. If you haven't, then you really should. A movie premiere is an awesome experience.
Make sure you're there when the film flickers for the premiere. It's really not an impossible mission at all.
