Unfortunate pause faces in the new MI: Rogue Nation trailer
Movie Feature

Mission: Impossible 5 has a new title. And a new trailer. And a new poster. It also has some silly faces.
So I sat to watch the new Cruise-athon trailer, but the problem is that I have a six-month-old who has just started to crawl. This basically means that he needs constant supervision in case he wriggles so far that he ends up in a quarry or something.
So, as I am unable to spontaneously enjoy 1 minute and 4 seconds of uninterrupted movie teasing, I am instead frequently subjected to the phenomenon known as "Unfortunate Pause Face". It threw up these classic looks.
This is the look of a man who has just seen an unspeakable horror, like a holocaust or a cat licking its own still-warm hairball.
"Ok, guys I got this. After three. One... two... no, wait! Ulp... too late! Shiiiiiii..."
"Yeah, I'm striking a pose. I'm striking a pose TO YOUR FACE."
A.K.A. The Dental Anaesthetic Wear-off
Perhaps the most commonplace of all Unfortunate Pause Faces. The look that says "Oh my god, this is crazy and I'm commenting on how crazy it is!"
