Ah yes, the Staffy. God's practical joke on hoomans. "I'm going to create a doggo that is like a wrecking ball, crossed with a hurricane, that is needy, in a small muscly package, and wrapped in a fur coat."

  • I have seen up to, and including F8. I don't think I can sit through them any further. They have become too much of a parody of themselves, no one can die, and the villains end up joining The Family.

  • I think that they dropped the ball on reintroducing SPECTRE/Blofeld by using them so late into the Craig era. They should have been kept for the next Bond, and slowly build them up. Start with a post credits scene with the first film, and build them…

  • See, I don't get this idea that killing Bond off what the only way that NTTD could have ended. SP, for all it's faults, had a perfectly fine ending. It might not be an "i'm an actor, luvvie, I need my dramatic ending" kind of ending, but it would ha…

  • More publicity for Scott (i'm loving this, he really deserves it): https://twitter.com/IMDb/status/1653776733546348547 Though I wish it were longer. I was expecting at least one of his Ninja films to get a mention, as well as Avengement.

  • I don't know if which of the other Bonds would have wanted their Bond to die, but I certainly hope that it would have been better implemented than it was in NTTD. Bond is shot, and the missile strike has already been ordered (the poisoning is ove…

  • The trailer left me feeling a cold towards it. Especially after how great Ash vs Evil Dead was.
