Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible
Director talks movies with Kid Reporter
The latest Mission: Impossible adventure, Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, was released on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday. But on April 10, the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., took viewers behind-the-scenes of the movie with the event "Rethink the Impossible." Technical experts, real-life spies, and the movie's director, Brad Bird, were all on hand to talk about the movie and what it takes to be a spy. You could even imagine being a spy yourself when you held the spy gadgets that were on display.
At the event, Kid Reporter Nick Berray interviewed Bird, as well as technical adviser Dale Shelton. Click Play Video below to watch the interviews!

The book features 60 pages of list ideas, games, and activities ranging from thought - provoking to just plain goofy. it's divided into five sections (Me & My Deep Thoughts, Boys & Other Animals, etc.), each with a different illustrator. Turns out that making list lends lends itself equally well to quiet contemplation or group giggles, depending on the day's mood.
A custom - designed, 150 - page, coil bound notepad and coordinating pencil make creating lists pretty near irresistible.
