In the beginning of the movie, Tom Cruise goes to a record shop in London. he gets his "assignment" in the form of an LP, which he plays on a very modded Technics SL-1200, and of course the LP self-destructs. Ya gotta love it. Great movie.

Sounds like that scene is worth the price of admission -- that is, if you are a verifiably insane audiophile!

Was actually an enjoyable movie. Saw it Tuesday night."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

I saw it last night and yes, the record shop scene was quite fun. The "What kind of music are you looking for" exchange between Hunt (Cruise) and the girl in the shop was really enjoyable.
The movie itself...fantastic! The Mission Impossible franchise could have gotten old by now, but with the last 2 movies, it's stronger than ever. If you're going to hit the theater for a movie soon, without a doubt...see Mission Impossible!
The motorcycle chase...yeah!No excuses! -
I've read where Cruise is a Vinyl guy, I'd say he had something to do with the opening scene.
Excellent movie, loved all the BMW's, both bikes and cars. -
Cruise is into music and great equipment.. His last visit on Fallon they discussed stereo equipment.. Look it up on youtube.. Fallon was amazed at how he mentioned to Tom that he was thinking of setting up an audio room.. Tom sent him an e-mail with a list of gear to purchase.. McIntosh and such.

The newest Mission Impossible movie was one of the most boring movies I've seen in a long time. I considered walking out of the theater like halfway through the movie. I thought that scene was pretty cool though.The nirvana inducer-

I don't know if it's all the movies now or simply this director but every time a character spoke the camera was right in their face.. The shot was from the neck or shoulder up.. Man, pan back a little, damn..
