  • I just replayed the original RE4 again - I’ve done so many, many times. There’s just nothing else quite like it; the combat, treasure collecting, and item organizing are such addicting gameplay elements. I never get tired of this one - very, very sp…
  • I sure picked the right first playoff game to watch with Jets-Blues - wild one, super fun! I’ve got Capitals, Panthers, Oilers, and Stars advancing, but I suspect most of the series will be close.

  • Since there are only four of them, I got through the RoboCop films pretty quickly. One might notice I changed my profile picture in honor of the titular character! Anyways, here's my personal ranking and rundown of the lot: 1. RoboCop (1987) It'…

  • I think The Deer Hunter is a well-made film, but I have zero desire to ever rewatch it.
  • Finally watched Robocop (1987) for the first time. What a wild ride - not an ounce of subtlety, but barrels of fun. I always love revenge stories, which this had in addition to still-relevant satire, great comedic moments, and insane amounts of acti…
  • Peter Weir is one of the most talented and versatile directors ever, and is sadly pretty unsung compared to many others. Going through his filmography was a real treat, and not a single film was outright bad. From worst to best, for my tastes: 14…
  • @GoldenGun Thank you very much! I did think about that; I very much like many European films, and other non-American work, but this is the selection that has spoken to me the most and has generally inspired me the most. And indeed, 1000+ pages is aw…
  • My current Top 20 Favorite Films list, in order of release: 1. Seven Samurai (1954) 2. The Godfather (1972) 3. The Godfather Part II (1974) 4. Taxi Driver (1976) 5. Alien (1979) 6. The Shining (1980) 7. Blade Runner (1982) 8. The Dead Zone…
  • I was just thinking like how Eyes Wide Shut (1999) is the perfect dark, unorthodox Christmas film, Donnie Darko (2001) can be the perfect dark, unorthodox Easter film thanks to its big bunny-costumed mascot! I did watch it recently though, so I’ll p…
  • I was hoping the rest were inevitable. I guess now I just hope their expectations aren’t unfairly high and that’s used as an excuse to not give us all the other films in 4K.
  • Haven’t preordered, but a longtime dream has come true for myself and many other cinema lovers with the announcement of Barry Lyndon 4K. I’ll certainly acquire it in time. Maybe the most visually stunning film I’ve ever seen, now in the best possibl…
  • Much appreciated @LeonardPine!
  • Reed as Blofeld or another Bond villain could have been a lot of fun, and I’d have less reservations about that.
  • I love Oliver Reed as an actor, but honestly I don’t know if I would have liked him as Bond.
  • @GoldenGun Thank you so much! It means a lot to me that people read and enjoy my long posts here!
  • @007ClassicBondFan Thank you very much! 13. Quantum of Solace One of my most unpopular / controversial Bond opinions is my love for QOS, and I have a rich history with this film. It was the first Bond film I got to see at the theater, so it's a …
  • If I might chime in, I thought the Beetlejuice sequel was surprisingly good and fun. It’s so hard for a sequel to hit that sweet spot between familiar and new, but I really think this one accomplished that. I have a couple issues with it, but it’s w…

  • QBranch wrote: » How about watching them in order of actor's age, which would begin with OHMSS and end on AVTAK (or vice versa if you want to end on a high note). Not a bad idea! I'll keep it in mind!
  • I hope no one minds, but I'm going to make a really self-indulgent post here talking about my life experiences with each Bond film in addition to ranking them. I've spent a lot of time discussing the things I do and don't like about the Bond films, …
  • After not watching any Bond films for over two years, I decided I'm going to revisit all of them and have myself a new Bondathon soon! I've done it chronologically frontwards and backwards, alphabetically, and by the first-second-third-etc. film of …
  • Amazing song and video, but I hate how relevant this still is:
  • It's subjective, but most to least similar in my mind right now would go: 1. Dalton 2. Lazenby 3. Craig 4. Connery 5. Brosnan 6. Moore
