  • The fourth season was the last, and it was pretty disappointing.
  • Aston Lotus would probably have posted something by The Critical Alcoholic, but that guy likely didn’t see the film at Cannes.

  • Also it functions two ways: 1) it allows Goldfinger to boast about his plan 2) it allows Bond to start putting the pieces together before realizing later what’s going on.
  • I can sort of get that from Harry and Cubby’s view. It did look like Young was partying A LOT with McClory in the documentaries.

  • I doubt he saw the movie himself to give any thoughts on the matter.
  • Goldfinger, easily.
  • Definitely feels like the same fears of Nomi in NTTD because a trailer featured her throwing jabs at Bond. “OH NO A WOMAN IS GONNA GIRLBOSS BOND!” Hey, nobody girlbosses Bond, unless they’re Judi Dench. But then again, I’d let Eva Green gir…
  • To add to what HildebrandRarity has said, there’s been no conflict with Lucas and Kennedy. The only person he has resentment towards is Bob Iger, and why? Because he’s been micromanaging LucasFilm in a way he doesn’t really do to Marvel. So many cre…
  • The anointed one has spoken!

  • TOP GUN 2 was overrated. I enjoyed it for what it was, but my god was that hyped beyond belief. At this point I don’t even rate it higher than the 1986 original. At least Tom Cruise’s character is actually flawed in that film. You know what’s a b…

  • Fair enough. I decided to look back and compare how DAD looked on Rotten Tomatoes in 2002 to today. Here’s authentic reviews landed the film at a rotten 57% back in November 2002. https://web.archive.org/web/20021204212414/http://www.rottentom…

  • DAD got bad reviews as well. A lot of fans, notably Brosnan fans, try to paint a false narrative that DAD was positively received at the time of release. But in reality it got a lot of bad reviews. I think the narrative of people liking DAD on relea…
  • Yeah, and that video isn’t aimed at triggering disgruntled MRA dorks.
  • There was a point when Tarantino was willing to concede and work under Eon just so he could be able to adapt CR, because he wanted that gig so badly. So stuff like shooting in black and white, and setting it in 1964 would have been put aside. He …

  • That was Jon Peters. Bradley Cooper had just played him in LICORICE PIZZA and was a highlight in that flick. He plays him exactly like all the stories you’ve heard of him. “You and me? We’re from the streets.” Wish I could find more clips…
