  • I haven't really seen many releases from this year. Only The Wolverine came to my mind and it was a so-so movie. I've been catching up with last year's movies so I'm very much behind. But, it's hard to match 2012 with Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises,…

  • DarthDimi is very polite, smart, friendly, and above all a true Bond fan. It's always nice to speak to you on the threads. Thank you for introducing me to the work of Michio Kaku. Now, work-wise, you've proven yourself to be a "troll eliminator", a…
  • I couldn't believe when I was reading that The Sopranos is overrated. First, the quality of the production, from photography to non-original music, was groundbreaking. Second, the performances are most exceptional, from James Gandolfini, to Edie Fal…
  • @Murdock, your #9 is a great choice from a superb (and a little forgotten) movie, but your #10 is one of the things I particulary dislike from TND (which I like on the whole). I think it's very lame and slow the way the drill approaches and Carver d…
  • The trailer didn't reveal much, but Days of Future Past look good in my opinion. Even if I'm not an original comic or cartoon fan, I look forward for the acting of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender!
  • 1. Santino Corleone gets massacred (The Godfather) 2. Don Ciccio's murder by Vito Corleone (The Godfather Part II) 3. Darth Vader accepts Captain Needa's apologies (The Empire Strikes Back) 4. Killing Fanucci (The Godfather Part II) 5. Solozzo a…
  • I want to read Churchill's history of the Second World War. I just will be needing two or three months of free time. Perhaps when I become teacher on sabbatical I'll give it a shot.
  • Interesting interpretations, fellas. I tend to think that she has killed, and she looks at Bond as saying it is obvious, and then Bond explains that this time will be different because of the personal nature. But your points are also fair, @0Brady a…
  • The Master It's an interesting movie, with spectacular performances. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix are extremely gifted and engage on their portrayals, as always. The way I see it, the film a huge criticism against religions and cults…

  • Could someone please take a look at my previous question? I feel like Nancy in OHMSS when nobody pays her attention...

  • That's true. And also if you want to enjoy a movie, you have to accept a premise that stands not on the "real" world but in the fictional universe: "Middle Earth exists", "magic is real", "there is a galaxy far, far away", "mutants are possible", "t…
  • "Why is it people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?"
  • @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, brilliant argumentation. I can respect if someone doesn't like SF, but let it be for reasonable causes. Saying that double-0 isn't needed is disregarding the reason to exist to the Bond movies. It's like saying that because it…
  • What do you thing about this movie? Seems very interesting to me, very much on the Scorsese style.
  • Perdogg wrote: 4. What is the purpose of the Double-0 program any way in the 21st century? Obviously Bond is not a spy, he is not even a counter-spy. He not an assassin. Why is there even a Double-0 program? So on your account there's no …

  • I'm not impressed by Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. It only seems to be another reboot with more action and an acclaimed acton on the mentor archetype. It makes me want to rewatch Red October and both of Ford's movies. Am I too conservative? Moreover, …

  • @4EverBonded, you are a kind, smart and respectful member. Your elegant manners should become a guide for all us here. And as it's been previously said, your current location gives you an remarkable and exciting feature! My salute goes to you!
  • 1 year after my opinion hasn't changed. It's one of the best of the whole series and I rank it 4th after FRWL, CR and OHMSS only for two reasons. It ain't a Fleming story and that makes a difference, and the latter films mentions have the best plots…
  • I'm amazed by Bond's drinking abitilies. Last night I had three vodka martinis and while I didn't ended drunk, it's a strong drink. How could he had 6 Vespers in a row in QOS? I bet it's because practice makes perfect.
  • Don't hesitate, it's worth it. From 2012 movies, that was on my last of must-watch. I have still to see The Master and maybe Lincoln. I don't care very much for Argo or Zero Dark Thirty but perhaps I'll give them a shot some time.
  • Silver Linings Playbook I've been keen to watch this movie since its release and I like it a lot. It's full of disfunctional characters, brillantly acted and has an engaging story. The music is good too and I was more than pleased by hearing "Girl…
  • Today I made myself a vodka martini with Cinzano as vermouth and lemon peel insted of olives.
