Maybe Cruise would considering selling the franchise to Paramount or at least step aside and let someone else play Hunt. He's getting too old to play an action hero. Plus, he just isn't very convincing. Since a 4th seems inevitable, I made a list of who I'd like to see direct the film. Feel free to add yours as anything we come up with will undoubtedly be better than what Cruise will decide.

1. David Fincher - Maybe Cruise will give more of a push to get him if this film disappoints.

2. Wolfgang Peterson - The guy knows how to direct action which is more than one can say for Abrams.

3. John Moore - The director of 'Behind Enemy Lines,' Flight of the Phoenix, and the upcoming Omen remake has shown that he can make action exciting and does decently with human conflict as well. I'm a fan of his first two films and eagerly await the Omen redoing. One thing all his films have is a quick pace, something M:I 3 struggled with as it drags when it shouldn't.

4. M. Night Shyamalan - Imagine how many twists his version would have. I'd also be interested in how he would handle action sequences, something he really hasn't had to deal with thus far in his career.

5. Michael Mann - Collateral was pretty good and he has the unique visual style required. My only concern is that the film would clock in at nearly 3 hours because he tends to be a little self-indulgent at times. I'd be willing to bet that his version would end up in LA at some point during the film.

6. David R. Ellis - The director of 'Final Destination 2', 'Cellular', and the highly-anticipated 'Snakes on a Plane' knows how to stage action scenes and has shown a tongue-in-cheek wit that enlivens his films.

7. Brad Anderson - The director of 'Session 9' and The Machinist is great at setting mood and thus could make a superb thrillerish M:I entry. Since Christopher Nolan won't be doing this as he has a certain batty sequel in the wings (gotta love puns) Anderson is the next best choice as his style shares similarities with Nolan's and 'The Machinist' had similarities to 'Memento.'

MI3 only did about 1600 for Saturday, not so hot. Im pretty sure in general movies do alot better on Saturday then Friday.

Goal seems to be right behind JML. Is it good for Goal, bad for JML, or ugly for both?

Ugly for both. IMO, goal will struggle to 250 reviews at this rate and JML may get 350-400. Since both are expected to have high ratios, it doesn't look good.

Unless JML becomes another Just Like Heaven (120.15). Doubtful considering Lohan's usual crowd.

Glad JML is disappointing. Lohan has become pathetic.
