  • I think most of us believe NTTD was an anomaly due to multiple factors. It was a very unfortunate process, and I was admittedly extremely frustrated during it, but I’m not bitter or anything anymore. I’m quite optimistic once Bond 26 is figured out …
  • Oh heck yes. Cannot wait for that one.
  • For me it’s way easier to have patience and wait for an actor transition, although this is the first one I’ve had since becoming a fan. Was much more painful waiting for Bond 25, both the suspense of finding out if Craig would return and then the cu…
  • Parents (1989). This film genuinely scared me and freaked me out worse than anything I’ve seen in a long time. I was expecting more comedy going in, but it was almost entirely just unsettling and disturbing, in key part thanks to the music and a phe…
  • I've started on my ambitious plan to reread all the Fleming material again, as it is due for a rereading. I finished up Casino Royale this afternoon, after having started on it late last night. Fleming's fun style makes it easy to read through quick…

  • @j_w_pepper Thank you for the kind words and respect, as well as sharing some of your own background. Prejudice and bigotry are things that have always been and will always be in fashion I’m afraid, for a great many disturbed individuals anyway. …
  • I’m afraid I didn’t find John secondary at all. The story revolves around him and he has plenty of screen time I felt like. I’m not sure how / why I’ve seen this so differently from others. Also, the secondary characters may have collectively been m…
  • One memory I can never get out of my head is when my father called my mom’s + me and my sibling’s blood “tainted” for having Jewish blood. It hurts a lot when the people that are supposed to be kindest and most supportive are hateful. Ultimately tho…

  • It's really brutal, as is the novel elimination game. All this stuff is generally the best of the best in the franchise, so it's very difficult. I hate downvoting The Hildebrand Rarity, as I adore everything about it, but those other 3 are the top d…

  • Not going to lie, I got some chills watching the trailer while going to see John Wick: Chapter 4 in the theater. Reeeeally hoping it’s as great as it looks!
  • @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 Thank you for the kind words, and such thoughtful, honest analysis of the films! Alright, I have a lot of opinions to go over. I’m going to lay this out as worst to best and try to get in as much as I can think of. 4. Joh…
  • Yikes. I feel guilty, and like I somehow saw a different film from others. More to come soon…
  • Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori. Honestly, for me this was the first truly great DM album since Songs of Faith and Devotion (yes, I’m not big on the popular album Ultra). Their music to me took a big dive for a very long time, but this new album was a m…
  • Something that bothers me is how Netflix films seem to not come out on DVD. Del Toro’s Pinocchio and Knives Out: Glass Onion are two films I’d love to add to my physical collection, but cannot as they aren’t available. Couldn’t Netflix strike some d…

  • Has anyone else seen James Wan’s Dead Silence (2007)? I absolutely adore this movie. It’s incredibly nostalgic for me and just wears its cheesiness all over its sleeve. The goofiness and spookiness are genuinely charming. Objectively there’s plenty …
  • Damn. That was a well-detailed but disheartening review @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7. It sounds like it probably will rank lowest for me as well if John’s taking more of a backseat. Narrative / emotional core has been dwindling a little while action is gro…
  • I want it to be good, but I refuse to think in advance it’s going to be good or bad based on anything I’ve seen or know thus far. I thought KOTCS looked pretty good from trailers, as I do this one, but that turned out less than stellar for me. By th…
