I can't fix IMDB, but I can fix what's mine. Lt. Colonel Cage has been demoted to Major. Or was he really demoted to Private? Private is what General Brigham put on Cage's orders. I need a military philosopher to decide between calling him Major Cage or Private Cage.

The audience knows he is Major Cage, and we can conjure him under cover as Private Cage.

That character definitely will not be in the sequel, but Rita Vrataski might be.

That's exactly why I loved this film so much, that right there. It has that "Joss-style" comedy - finding laughter in a tense situation.

Wash: Were I not married, I would take you in a manly fashion.

or

Mal: But, she was all naked and........articulate!

Clever ways to talk about sex without talking about sex in a direct manner.
I just hope that the writers honor that great and clever dialogue.

From Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Major Bill Cage: [while in training] Stop! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Stop! Wait a second, wait a second! I've been thinking... I mean, this thing is in my blood. So maybe there's some way I can transfer it to you.
Rita Vrataski: I've tried everything, it doesn't work.
Major Bill Cage: I mean have you tried... you know... tried ALL the options.
Rita Vrataski: Oh, you mean sex? Yeah, tried it.
Major Bill Cage: ...how many times?
Rita Vrataski: Alright...
[Cage gets hit by a spinning robot]

That, as you know, was a major theme within the film's philosophy (or way of thinking). On the outside Cage held the rank of Major, but on the inside
he was a private (having never been in combat).

Even that scene in the bar, those two Brit veterans look at him with disdain. Cage, through his training with Rita and then his trial by fire in the field, earned his rank, like most soldiers do.

Let us all hope that Edge of Tomorrow 2 keeps the big spectacular action movie as only an element happening in the background and clearly suborned to the story that takes place in the foreground about Rita evolving into a super warrior with a really big sword.


I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well. I've found that many times Hollywood
smells money and throws a lot of it at the so-called Blockbuster, but forget
the reason why a film like Edge of Tomorrow resonated with the audience.
It was a well-written story, good acting and directing - a unique story, but familiar at the same time. A war and action vehicle with a twist.

I think too that Tom gets a bad rap - sure, he's a bit of a loon off screen. But I really liked Knight & Day and the last 2 Mission Impossible
movies, so he might have figured it out (Oblivion had it's moments) by now.
I really would love to see those characters again, especially Rita (EoT was
basically Cage's story). All I can say is..............Tom, please don't
fuck this up!

still wrong. Every member of J squad, or Farrell would have gotten the same look. You are dreaming, and I do not believe the writer's were also dreaming or as delusional as you on this viewpoint.

You still on that! Then tell me dogbreath, why would they show a scene
with only Cage in the bar and not have the entire freaking J Squad present and accounted for? Hmmmmmm?

You know what! Sorry, think whatever you like. That's my interpretation.


SGG Out! Drops the fucking mike!
