  • For what it's worth, I think that sequence with Solange is one of the most classic but still sexy sequences in the series and especially in Craig's era, especially considering they don't even get into bed together. I thought that whole scene was blo…
  • It had my interest until the Meta Quest nonsense, much like the Alien teaser the other day that's VR only.

  • @007HallY, I always thought she was just a pawn in Sandor's mission but fell so madly in love with Bond so quickly that she sacrificed herself to save him. It's so ludicrous that it works for me. Just the notion that someone was willing to let herse…
  • @007ClassicBondFan, that's the other installment I have equal hopes for! Dug it as a kid, but past one random early morning viewing a few years back, it always winds up one of my least favorites. @meshypushy, that's why I ended up seeing it five …
  • I'll be honest, I sometimes wonder how many of my complaints around SF are "legitimate" and how many are just me nitpicking because I was so extremely let down when I finally saw it and have never loved it in all my viewings since. I'm sure I rag on…
  • @007HallY, isn't it great? It's happened with me with the likes of MR, which in the last decade went from a Bottom 5 installment or so to Top 10-ish. It's crazy when it occurs cause I always assume I'm so cemented in my feelings on films I've seen h…
  • I will always, always hope that the "genius" of SF that most others experience will also be recognized by me on a random viewing one day, even decades later.
  • I also feel Obruchev is too comedic. They only really punched up his nastiness at the very end with his line to Nomi, but too little too late for that.

  • That watch bit and its follow-up line I felt were really, really great, some of the best one-liners in the latter half of his era.
  • I personally always include both unofficial CRs and NSNA into my Bondathons, but I know the former two will wind up dead last anyway so not much point in including them. Sounds great either way though, @GoldenGun, can't wait to see what you come up …
  • I think EON + NSNA is good enough. There are even some of us who rank NSNA over some of the official installments, so might as well include it.
  • I always love seeing the Caps eliminated. I've no doubt my Penguins or Detroit would've fared better against NY; maybe not winning the series (Detroit might've accomplished it) but it wouldn't have been a sweep. I also love seeing Sid have a bett…
  • The Leafs have clearly mentally checked out already. No way they move past this round. Seeing the players imploding on the bench and attacking one another is never a good sign.
  • I want both, but I think I'd go with LALD just for the atmosphere, music, and the fun you'd have in playing that boat chase mission.

  • I wouldn't know cause they already tried to scam PS+ owners of the game out of the free upgrade by forcing the most impatient gamers to go ahead and buy it while they "work" on a fix. Already off to a great start, Bethesda! I'll pass on this for now…
  • Pierce sets up another film with romantic thriller A Spy's Guide To Survival, where he plays an ex-spy who strikes up a relationship with his neighbor: https://deadline.com/2024/04/pierce-brosnan-to-star-spys-guide-to-survival-passage-pictures-12…
  • Count me in too please. I won't do another Bondathon until later in the year so I'll just use my 2023 list for this.
  • And ATJ is on another film now with the 28 Years Later sequel: https://deadline.com/2024/04/28-years-later-movie-aaron-taylor-johnson-jodie-comer-ralph-fiennes-1235894028/
  • I know he's 70 but Pierce went so quickly from "older, seasoned secret agent" to "older than dirt retirement home citizen" in just a couple of years.
  • @slide_99, while I really loved DR, I can totally understand most of those complaints and issues. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on RN and FO particularly. And as always, I'm happy when I see anybody ranking 2 that high.
