STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Monday, 10 August 2015

[Demeter]

1. I don't often LOL at cartoons anymore, but this one I did!

Took the Kid to see the Mission Impossible movie, number umpty-ump.

It was too long, too thin on plot, too full of car and motorcycle chases, and I don't see the market value or artistry of Tom Cruise (and never did. He made everyone else in the film look good, though.)

But beyond that, I think the whole super-secret spy vs spy genre has been gummed to death.

Now, if it had featured the IMF we all know and fear, that would have been terrifying...

But alas, there's not much at the theaters this week. We saw Mr. Holmes last week (and I cannot recommend it too strongly!)
