i just watched the new one.

spoiler alert: it sucked lol.

• enough star power to provision a universal school lunch program
• exotic locales and highly complex stunts with spectacular set pieces
• mind-numbingly stupid premise and conflict

to be clear, i saw it for free and knew it was gonna be lame as hell, but i still felt ripped off lol.

we are approaching the 30 year anniversary of the first one (itself a reboot of the 1960s TV show), and what is extraordinarily absurd, the lead role of high intensity action is played by the same fucking guy who is 63 in earth years and qualifies for social security, but will also qualify for medicare in a little over a year. they still play it completely straight, like his shambling, broken posture body (at like 4% body fat, salute) can do all this acrobatic shit. they pull out all the stops to make his face smooth and young, which is as disturbing as it is distracting.

ten years ago, when he was in his early 50s, he could play late 30s. but now that hes in his 60s, he should not play any role under 60.
