I’ve been a bit busy and there’s been lots going on, hence my absence yet again from blogland.
I’ll tell you later about Six’s birthday party (50 guests, including all his school class – yes I’m bonkers) and loads of other stuff.
Now, last night I watched Mission Impossible 3 on the big screen. This film is of such a quality that I’d forgotten I’d seen it before, but I leaned back and thought of England and watched it again.
There’s one scene where Tom decides to launch himself over a massive gap in a bridge, blown apart by rockets, and as he was running up I was thinking, Tom, you and your short legs are never going to make it over there, no way. But they have special effects by the Hummer-load so Tom vaulted the gap like Steve Austin in Million Dollar Man. You almost expect to hear the elongated boing sound as he springs the chasm.
I haven’t seen Valkyrie yet – the true story of Klaus von Stauffenberg’s real-life effort to blow Adolf Hitler up in an attempt to stop having to do all that Seig Heil stuff with the left arm 85 times a day.
I’m only guessing, but because this is Tom playing Stauffy, and the film is made in Hollywood by Americans, I imagine Tom manages to pull it off and assasinate Hitler.
