You don't know how happy I am that there are other Pegg fans out there. I'm equally happy that he steals every scene he's in, as I was quite sad to see he wasn't in the trailer at all.
Exactly, that's why I asked, now I know he plays a decent enough role I think I might go and watch it.

I lovey you Simon!

I had no idea who Simon Pegg was untill I saw this and posted this thread..  I'm going to have to check him out a little, cause I thought he did GREAT comic relief in the film.  Although it wasn't his line, it was Fishburne's, I think, when he was commenting on the failed first mission in the movie, where the computers got torched..

"Crispy, I think the technicians said"  Or something to that effect, with the scene up on the screen with a very nicely toasted, REAL hard drive platter.  I like it when they actually show the correct parts of a computer in the film.

I didn't really dig the part where he manages to overcome the activated bomb inside his head and somehow fight the bad guy all of the sudden because "the power of love" help him to do so or some such thing. *shrugs and walks away aimlessly*
:wtf: Seriously?

Unfortunately, yes.   :doubt:
What are you folks smoking because I want some of it please.

There are no scenes like that in the movie.  The thing is that he knows the charge is in his brain, he knows whats going to happen if he fails, he's well motivated to do what he can to get it out and so he fights as best he can and you'll notice that he's gripping in pain the whole time which I thought makes the scene feel realistic enough (given the settings :)) to fly with me.  There's no "power of love" garbage because I would have walked right out if there was...

I liked MI:3 a whole lot more than MI:2.  MI:3 was funny, it had action, it had a good pace, and it was a fun movie to watch.  I'm no Tom Cruise fan but this was good and far better than the John Woo testosterone fest that we witnessed the last time with the motorcycle fight and all that.

I'm actually more inclined to agree with them... he was suffering from that brain-bomb, got these flashes of his life, centered around honey-schnookums, and all of a sudden overcame the pain and fought back. Call it the power of love or call it realizing what he was about to lose, they made it fairly clear that it was his thoughts concerning her that gave him the extra oomph.

Totally and utterly unrelated... does anyone else find some mild measure of humor in the fact that "oomph" and "Zero miles per hour (00 MPH)" are visually the same? :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Maybe I'm just not that "in tune" with the whole emotional thing...mr no relationship thing here anyways...so maybe that bit passed right over my head but that scene didn't bother me one bit.  Didn't even blink.

Never noticed oomph before...not that I use MPH very often.  You have ADD don't you? *shiney!*

Why... actually, I used to be as a child, yes. Is noticing bizarre things like that a telltale sign?
