Watched the last Mission Impossible movie last night. Of course all the normal critiques about the plot being explained verbally so the audience knows what the mission is, or the implausibility of the scenes, but hot damn what a fun ride that was. Everyone talks about the plane scene but the sub scene was amazing.

I finally finished all 40 hours of Succession. Kept me entertained. Excellent acting, mature storytelling. Never dragged. The only low point for me was when the show took itself way too seriously during its most absurd plot point, where the election call of a single network before all the votes were in, was presented as a definitive act that caused that person to become president. I don't think that's how it works, but the show was deadly serious and somber about it.
The finale was excellent, and all the twists and turns felt about right.

I've been told to watch Succession due to the apparent close similarity of the head honcho to our former CEO. Maybe I'll give it a go.
I tend to find things quite uncomfortable when they resemble reality. My former boss so closely resembled Bill Lumbergh from Office Space that it literally took me four attempts to complete the movie.
