All last week, there were rumors that Tom Cruise was going to do a super stunt during the Olympic closing ceremony. Would he jump from a plane and parachute in through a ring of fire? Maybe fight lions while riding a Vespa? There was a lot of hype. And then he……… basically slid down a rope. I’ll admit it was from a pretty high ledge. But, it came down to rappelling. It was over in 14 seconds. Then he hopped on a motorcycle and left. What was the point?
I guess I’m not impressed by rappelling because he had control of the rope and his descent the whole time. That’s what he was doing with his right hand.
Also, am I the only one who felt a little weirded out by the people in the tights dancing around and pushing the rings for 20 minutes? I felt like I needed special mushrooms to take all that in with the Golden Voyager and the other characters that looked like the 1960s versions of Dr. Who villains.
