I once hired Sean Connery to train my dog........ it didn't go well.

  • 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…
  • "Now he’s written a Bond who eats kimchi and reads the New Scientist" Apparently, that's woke. :-??

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

  • Wake Of Death (2004) This one was a but more lively than The Hard Corps, but oh my lawd the editing was flashy for..... the sake of being flashy? Which is a shame, as it's a pretty good action thriller otherwise, and I get the feeling this is whe…

  • It's all part of the desperate attempt to turn the clock back to 2005/6.
  • Up to 71% now. I got the trophy for unlocking the... I think it's called the Shield Weave Armour. It's unlocked after finding all 5 Power Cores. If Aloy doesn't take damage, after a few seconds, it regenerates her health all the way.
