Cruise lampooning his godlike MI heroics by dying so many goofy ways (run over, squashed, splattered, shot by hot female co-star) was utter delight. Endlessly rewatchable movie.

Can someone loan JD their Disney+ password? I’m fairly certain he’s never seen an Indiana Jones movie.

“Negotiation”??? It seems Vance not only skipped just about every history course offered to him, but has never seen a WWI or II film, or read a book. Next he’ll tell us Indiana Jones sat on the sidelines! “He never punched a single Nazi! Never used his whip!”
