  • I saw both of these on original release either back in late '92 or early '93 as I think both were holiday releases. I liked both, especially A Few Good Men. As far as the question about cultural impact, I don't think either were super huge, but b…

  • I had the same goofy grin I had during the Rogue Nation plane sequence. This is what enjoying movies is about. If you weren't thrilled by that then you may no longer have a pulse.

  • In my mind, Renard is the main villain. It's his influence that turns Elektra to begin with and it's him and Bond to the end. She may have the means to set everything up, but it's him doing all the heavy lifting. If anything they are co-main villain…
  • Great poster except one thing.... the gun seems out of place. A gun is a synonymous with Bond. While the MI series has had plenty of gunplay, it's not an essential element and makes it look more like it's trying to be a Bond film whereas the M…

  • I always thought Bond threw that in about him and M in Tokyo as a way to get under his boss's skin knowing he'd be listening to the tape and it may have just been BS. So maybe he hadn't been there. As for the YOLT comment, Roald Dahl probably was…
  • Pretty much sums up my feelings too, Wiz. Both TPM and KOTCS had the challenge of the hype of having legendary series before them coming back after years of being dormant. It was going to be an uphill challenge from the start and ultimately doome…
  • I used to make Oscar predictions just for fun, but in recent years I just haven't cared much. Most of these Best Picture nominees anymore just don't have any staying power anymore that you would want to revisit years down the road. All I heard a …

  • Thanks for the amusement. This just proves anybody can get published online. What I find funniest is whoever wrote this piece didn't have the guts to put a by-line on it. Several of the comments say "we." Going on and on about the boomers is such…

  • I have no doubts there are several people who did react that way who read it. The net brings out people who love to make their thoughts known, especially if it has a controversial theme to it. Still, it seems as if these a lot of these people wou…
  • Does anyone else besides myself prefer the Indy series to Star Wars?

  • Using two former M:I women, Seydoux and Ferguson would be like taking women from The Avengers TV series. Oh, wait, that worked out pretty well, actually.

  • Word is Cruise has injured himself yet again doing an MI stunt gone wrong.

  • Wow, I don't know how to feel about this. Like the story's writer, I think Black is a great writer and that's a great building block. But The Avengers is one of those shows that just seems locked into its timeframe and makes you wonder if it's wo…
  • Is it that much different than Bond films like TSWLM or MR where the best stunts are in the precredits? I recall a review for Spy that finished with "No, they never did top that first stunt." True, the plane escape was the best stunt in Rogue Nat…
  • If I could offer my own experience with MR as someone who saw it on original release: I grew up a Bond fan practically from birth. My uncle had all the novels and gum cards and the family would see each new film as they were released and the many…
  • I hate to admit but I actually paid to see this when it came out. Those were some of the movies we'd see back in the day as Bronson was still a cool action hero along with Chuck Norris. It didn't matter he was probably 60 or older at the time. It…
