#LaloSchifrin y el tema de #missionimpossible https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM2CGwwox/

Last night I watched the pilot episode for the original #MissionImpossible series with one of the kids. I LOVED the show when I was a kid, but we're talking when I was between 7-10 so I wasn't sure how I'd find it. All in all, it held up quite well!

The #storytelling was much simpler than it is now, and less realistic - as expected. The team had to go to the central american nation of 'Santa Costa' (lmao at 'Saint Coast' 😆😆😆), where half the people had American accents, to steal 2 nuclear warheads that were 200lb each and in... a giant walk-in hotel safe 😆.

Some of the dialogue was unintentionally funny ("I know I'm the best but blagh blah blah") and the message was on a record that self-destructed 2min after it was unsealed. Plus the team leader had a leather folio imprinted with 'Impossible Mission Force,' because why bother hiding that he's a spy? Own it 😆

But overall, we wanted to know what happened next, so the story did its job. And the teen was impressed that the storytelling worked so well without crazy action or effects (I'm keen to show them good storytelling.)

What I truly enjoyed were the colors, particularly the shades of greens and reds (I dunno if it was the film or if they had color grading then), the kickass score by #LaloSchifrin, and Martin Landau's multiple characters.

Fun fact: I taught our cockatiel the M:I theme, except she only does 3-4 notes at a time and randomly picks which ones 😂

Today's random #Discogs choice Lalo Schifrin and Black Widow 1976. Not only was he one of the best soundtrack composers but this album is like jazz disco. Very cool indeed. Favourite track Turning Point.
