"We mustn’t forget that Conrad Veidt was a German, and at that time, with the war just starting, it was difficult for him. I think he always felt faintly embarrassed by the fact that he’d been a German star and had a very ripe German accent. Very cleverly Emeric made him not a German in Contraband. He was just as believable being a Dane, and that was charming."--Valerie Hobson, Emeric Pressburger: The Life and Death of a Screenwriter by Kevin MacDonald

I discovered the Maggie Hope series by Susan Elia MacNeal a couple of years ago and immediately fell in love with the half-American half-British Maggie and her plucky, feminist attitude plopped into the middle of World War II Europe. The Hollywood Spy is a departure from the European front as Maggie investigates her former fiancé’s current love’s murder. Right now on Kindle you can get this book…

Idea for a new movie series: “Mission Impossible”

The first movie starts with a spy team from The Higher Ups and it has this nearly impossible objective. Whether it’s a suicide mission or just really difficult, whatever. The Team goes on the mission but stumbles upon this other, adjacent plot and that’s the main conflict of the movie. The original mission fails, but The Team still emerges victorious.

The second movie starts with part of the same team as the first movie with a few new characters filling in for the characters who have been phased out. The Higher Ups send this new and updated group to retry the impossible mission. Yet again, they get sidetracked by something else they discover, abandon the original mission, and the plot goes somewhere else. The half of the team that was in the first movie acknowledges this jokingly, for the most part.

By the third movie, only two members from the first team are left. More of the others have phased out, more new people in. They get assigned to the impossible mission AGAIN, and the two joke about ‘third time’s the charm’ and ‘imagine if we get derailed again’ only to get derailed again. The two veterans are starting to side-eye this whole thing.

By the fourth movie, only one person from the original team is still active. When the new team gets sent back to the impossible mission, they don’t even blink when everything goes sideways again. Oh, that time already? Well, let’s get on with it.

I think 4 movies would be the minimum of derails, but I honestly think the longer it went on, the better the payoff, you know? Like… drag it out for 10 movies. Develop the pattern. Old characters phase out, new ones are introduced, they get sent on the impossible mission, discover something barely related and get stuck trying to fix that instead of whatever the original mission was. It’s not a surprise for the audience by movie 4, and the seasoned characters can get a fourth-wall-break in there too. Maybe the original mission never gets addressed.

If it does, though, you gotta bring back some of the old characters from the first movie. Finally get to the bottom of the impossible mission. Is the impossible mission just a cover for what The Higher Ups really wanted the teams to do over the years, insinuating that there’s a greater power that would otherwise prevent the team from averting disaster? Is the impossible mission something really important, does it have means of turning away the team or creating other problems for the team to discover to stay hidden? Is one of the beloved originals a traitor? Has there been a traitor in every movie and they all band together to defeat all the heroes?

You see what I mean? The longer the impossible mission trope gets dragged out, the more of a shock it will be when you finally break the pattern. Imagine a movie being released every two years for like… 10-20 years, and then out of nowhere the studio drops a trailer for a giant reunion movie, Avengers: Infinity War style. All the old characters are back, aged and seasoned but still treasured and they FINALLY get to the bottom of this stupid impossible mission that none of them have been able to solve.

Someone richer than me needs to get on this.

Hello, I'm Lina from Gaza🇵🇸🍉. I'm part of a family of 8. I'm married with two young children. We've been bombed, besieged, and starved. Sadly, I've lost many of my family members❗ and I can't afford to lose any more. With a heavy heart, I'm asking you to help me spread my campaign. Please, what I'm asking is too much. Can you write a post about my story and share it with your friends? I desperately need your support. My father and brother were injured in the bombing and are in critical condition. They need to travel for treatment. I need your support. The genocide is still going on

You are my only hope for survival.
