Mission Impossible III (2006) - "No" Gay Content

Missionimpossible3Very good blow-up movie.  I hate to say it, but I did like the joint.  It was a (very) guilty pleasure to watch her on the big screen.

Shame on the Queer for not joining one of the many boycotts called for this movie.  Anyway, with that caveat, I have to say Bitch was actually pretty good in the flick -- considering her limited acting skills. 

Here, she plays secret agent Ethan Hunt, who enters a two-hour-plus cat-fight with the villain played by Philip Seymour Hoffman.  Philip is trying to sell some sort of weapon or technology to some bad guy.  Bitch tries to protect his own identity and that of his 'girlfriend' (to be read with three snaps and a good back and forth head-tilt).  The girlfriend is played by Michelle Monaghan (who played a homophobe in North Country, remember?).  Philip is excellent as a villain, as expected.  Both bitch and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (he's also a secret agent) appear shirtless a few times, but don't expect much.

So, no gay content for our gay movie review.  At least bitch did not slur us in the movie. 

Oh, and she got to shoot in the Vatican and Shanghai, she got to wear the robe of a priest and a pair of fancy jeans (I think they were indeed the same jeans she wore in War of the Worlds -- maybe it's her lucky jeans).

UPDATE ON MAY 8, 2006: MI3 is a box office disappointment.

If I wanted to waste $7 on some closeted "straight" guy, I'd rather drop tokens in a gloryhole booth at the local adult book store...

Also, I'm pretty sure industry people know that Tom's agent won't accept anything with even the phrase "gay Paree" in it

Well, but gay content in MI3 would be rather gratuitous, no? Sort of like adding dogfood references in Lassie

I'd go see it if Miss Cruise wasn't in it. Can't stand looking at that face anymore.

Let's save our boycotts for the important things (like Mary Cheney's new book)(and Dodge ;)). This is just fluff that we have every right to enjoy.
