  • So I just finished Assassin's Creed 2. It started out fun, I liked the Renaissance setting and Ezio is a very likeable character. Loved listening to the Jesper Kyd score. The controls were pretty terrible though. But that ENDING. What were they thi…
  • The funniest unintential moment to me is in QoS, when Bond surprises Yusef and Corrine in their apartment. And he says something like, "That's a lovely necklace. Did he give it to you? *I* have one just like it." It didn't hit me at first, but on m…

  • Anybody else watch the Confederations Cup? That was an entertaining tournament. Yowza.
  • I absolutely LOVE Alien and Aliens, but I haven't seen 3 or 4 yet. I did buy the quadrilogy so I own the DVD's, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and watch them yet! Also, I've heard bad things about them so I might be subconsciously putting…
  • This is exciting news. Looks like it could be a fun movie. And Olga Kurylenko's other movies, while not particularly "good", seem to always be entertaining at least. :)
  • I love to watch terrible horror movies, but there was one I saw that was just so horrible in every sense of the word that to this day I refuse to say its name out loud. Let's just say it was a movie about vampires in the old west, with Billy the Kid…
  • I love this scene, although I am bothered a bit that the Tosca clips are out of order. It's just one of those things that once you see, you can't unsee.
  • I love Baron Samedi! I really like how they actually made him a character in the movie as opposed to the book (where Kananga used his cross and hat a symbols to threaten people). A fun theory I had was that Samedi was really the mastermind behind ev…
  • @Major: Oh, I don't want to skip it completely, I just would rather play one of the ones I already have to see if I like the series. If I like it (and I hope I will), I'll definitely pick up the first game. :)

  • It was okay. I liked exploring a lot but the battle system seemed kind of repetitive (getting attacked by Serbians like every five minutes). Graphics and voice acting were superb, though. I'd be willing to play the others but I don't think I'd buy t…
  • I beat Uncharted 2 and the Hitman HD trilogy. I think I'm going to get the new Tomb Raider, seems like it got good reviews? I also have Assassin's Creed 2 and 3 that I got free with my PS3, but I'm not sure if I should get the first one and play th…
  • Definitely "We Have All the Time in the World". Also, I always thought that "The World is Not Enough" was rather romantic in a creepy way.

  • I'd add to the worst list: Romeo and Juliet Overture by Tchaikovsky (both in Moonraker and AVTAK) I did like the scene set to Air on the G String though in Moonraker.
  • One thing I noticed while rewatching Skyfall is that the two lion statues in Mallory's office in the beginning of the movie are on his desk at the end. :)
  • Why on earth was Bond dressed up as a valet?? I'm thinking maybe it was part of the extended scene that got cut (the same one with Patrice and Severine on the escalator)? There just doesn't seem to be a point to having Bond in disguise. Patrice had …
  • Making the most out of being ambushed and attacking with stealth/remaining undetected are two very different levels of skill...
  • Note to self: never watch YOLT ever again. One thing I never noticed before was that there are nipple shots in OHMSS, DAF, and FYEO... I can't believe they got away with a PG rating back then. :))
  • Dalton for me, by a landslide. Not only has he proven he is incredibly badass (tanker trucks, anyone?) but he is also the best when it comes to stealth, in my opinion. I don't think any other Bond could have pulled off the trick in the Wavekrest. Pl…

  • I thought that Greene was an interesting character, but not a threatening villain at all. It didn't help that Camille towered over him. When they were embracing it just looked silly even though he was trying to be menacing.
  • It seems that the bluray on Amazon US has now changed to bluray/dvd/digital copy... still $20 :)
  • Creasy47 wrote: @jackdagger, nice to see someone who agrees. I beat 'Silent Assassin' the other day on Normal, and I stopped earlier on Normal difficulty on Contracts' mission Traditions of the Trade - my favorite in the series. After I beat that,…

  • Natalya always annoys me. She's not a terrible character but she still gets on my nerves. Perhaps it's her awful haircut, fashion sense and husky accent. I fail to see the appeal. I used to hate Goodnight but after rewatching TMWTGG recently I st…
  • I thought the 2007 version did a decent job of combining the fundamentals of the games with the Hollywood formula. Sure you had some shootouts, but there was still some stealth in there. I would've liked to see more disguises though. I didn't like t…
  • I don't have high hopes for this one. I haven't seen Walker in anything, but he seems like too much of a pretty boy. I suppose with the shaved head and a permanent angry expression he might be able to pull it off, but it's doubtful. @PositiveTouc…
