Disqus commenters have a lot to say about, well, just about anything really. Discussions on topics ranging from Avengers: Infinity War to Pokémon Go are happening every day across the Disqus network. While recaps of popular discussions are fun to revisit, those discussions have come and gone. What about the discussions that are happening right now or in the near future?

Starting today, we’re introducing a new series on the Disqus Blog that will highlight upcoming topics and events where we expect interesting discussions to happen. From major blockbuster movies, popular sporting events, to new tech gadget announcements, we’ve got you covered. At the end, let us know what interesting things on the horizon that looking forward to discussing.

Mission: Impossible Fallout 💥

We begin our journey at the local box office where the summer blockbuster movie season is in full swing. This weekend, moviegoers can watch the sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Early reviews suggest the movie is definitely not one you'll want to miss; it currently sits at a near perfect 98% Rotten Tomatoes score! Speaking of Rotten Tomatoes, their editorial team did the math to determine the correlation between the distance Tom Cruise runs in a movie to how good the movie is. Not every superhero wears a cape.

If you’ve watched the film (or don’t care about spoilers), check out the first reviews of the movie from Birth.Movies.Death. and Roger Ebert.

Since the start of this year, Pokémon Go trainers from around the globe have assembled together for a monthly Community Day event.
