Originally posted in March 2014, this is a re-edited version that loses 1m 27s of running time. As per usual, cuts have been made to the film clips, but also to reduce the amount of dragging syllables; this was coming off the "angry period", where I had mostly returned to normal but was still over-emphasizing in spots, so I've tried to correct that as best as I can. While this episode was originally in HD, I've also re-encoded the DVD source anamorphically for better quality and upscaled that too, and I used my original edit file for this new version. Funnily enough, no home video release of the film is uncut: the international theatrical release (such as the UK) included the lines cut for a PG-13, and is used for international TV showings, but Fox used the cut US master for all territories - somewhat ironic given the Blu has an unrated extended cut! As you can probably guess, this is to link with A Wrinkle in Time, hope you enjoy!

That movie had genuine comedy and amazing action in it, and even had the late-but-great Bill Paxton in it.

"I am a cruise ship captain of a very large vessel," Chris Pine says. We see you, Captain Kirk. Also, I hadn't previously realized that I had seen this movie before, years ago. I remember virtually nothing about it. I would also like to mention that the way Chris Pine's character was looking at Tom Hardy's when he talked about having what the two of them have 'with a woman' was not heterosexual in any way. Also, Mr. Brain, your James Bond T-shirt is very charming, and I admire your fortitude in reviewing all of these awful movies. Sometimes I can't even look at certain scenes if they're too embarrassing.

Okay, so this script/idea first existed around 1997/1998. That explains a lot. The initial idea/script, I'd presume, was "In the Company of Men, Looney Tunes Edition." Goes through a bunch of drafts over the decade and a half, adding terrible ideas and scenes, removing context for ideas that were, initially at least, decent, before eventually becoming a soulless action rom-com starring spies, but with the In the Company of Men premise still there. Also: That's an, I have to assume gas powered, movable light. I assume because most of the building on this is during the night hours.

I love Tom in most anything (not only is he just sooo nice to look at but his acting is great) but THIS was just another underwhelming attempt to get female audiences into the theater. It's insulting. Why always the predictable and formulaic rom-com tropes? We can all appreciate well written films with interesting and refreshing plots. The hotties are just cherry on top.

That’s a great idea! Rather than a stupid, tedious love triangle, why not have Lauren, who could have an arc about self confidence, and FDR, could learn about being a more humble, caring guy, just be the main couple while protecting each other from the villains, with Tuck as the supportive wingman, and rather than just magically end up with his ex at the end, have him realise that it’s unhealthy, since he’s just getting back with her purely based on old memories, but he does reconcile with her and his son, and beings dating a new love. How’s that sound?

I'd just like to say that, while *most* spies are unassuming, being a very attractive and noticeable charismatic person who tries to pick people up at the bars is actually *exactly* what one specific type of professional spy does....makes this movie, James Bond, etc a lot more interesting when you realize they are they are probably "honey-trap" spies, aka people who build "relationships" (usually sexual) with their targets in order to lure their targets into giving them intel. In that case, these spies make total sense. Them focusing on sleeping with so many young, attractive women however, still does not...

Promiscuity among spies is actually the norm. Intel types that get deployed in the field have very high levels of fooling around. So much so most have open marriages.

This is my favourite movie. Why would you do such a thing? It's all in good fun, and it has everything required of a good movie: Sex, romance, action, comedy and Reece Witherspoon. A little something for everyone as a matter of fact.

I don’t want to take away your enjoyment of the film, but I personally found the movie to be an unfunny, sexist, tonally inconsistent, tediously boring, obnoxious waste of talented actors, misusing CIA equipment for stalking and invading privacy is portrayed as “romantic”, as opposed to y’know, fucking disturbing. Besides, if you genuinely liked the film, what did you think of the characters and story, outside of vague stock phrases like comedy, and romance?
