  • I would watch any Bond film, except 'Casino Royale 1967', I don't want to have a bad memory of watching a Bond film 😅, at least even in the Bond films I'm not a fan of, I could find some good in them, on the other hand, I can't find any good things …

  • I wish the next Bond posters were great looking, not like Photoshopped or plain like the last two recent Bond posters (SP & NTTD), still missing the hand made and very creative Bond posters in 60s-80's though.

  • I'd rather have it be a planned ending, a planned ending means a proper ending, if the actor wanted to quit (either due to age, or getting weary in the role), there could be a proper ending made for him, so yes, a thoughtful send off. Would I ask…

  • There's no wrong in them being your favorite, but the majority of people were calling them 'the greatest band ever' and even comparing new and upcoming musicians to them like they're the blueprint to which everyone should be compared is beyond me, a…
  • DEKE_RIVERS wrote: » Whitewashed songs is a "new sound" ;) Anyway, there were a lot of white people in the 50s. Why Elvis? Because he's the one who had made it big, he's the one whom being called 'The King of Rock', people look at him as…

  • With regards to Music, been a music fan since I was a kid and yes, since that, I've grown to have a bit of standard in my music, and as I've come to watch the MTV VMA's 2024, my thoughts, once again, lingered into my mind: 1. I prefer Indie Rock …
  • I'm just listening to Spotify, finding some playlists that would find me some great songs (mostly in the Indie Rock Genre), and playing them random when I've ran out of moves (until 5, if my memory serves), that's too ugly.
