  • I'd 💯% enjoy that little Bond fest you did this morning! (what time did you wake up??!)

  • At the start. The experimentations didn't bother me, but, it's time to return the gunbarrel back to the top of the film. No more bullets flying towards us, no more tinkering with placement, no more letting the gun be exposed before the actor t…
  • Radiohead by a mile. Honourable mention to MKKBB. But I feel that any of us wailing in the shower would be better than Sam Smith's grating melodrama (I do think the melody is quite nice, though).
  • I expect an angry NYR team today. And their fans are demanding more time for that 6’7 Goliath they have. But there’s something to this Florida team. A fearless swagger. They know the Rangers wanna drive them through the boards, but there’s not a …

  • If Bond still worked for Mi6, I'd have an issue with how he treated M. In the end, M had no authority over him, and, if it wasn't for M's recklessness, Bond would still be in Jamaica. James Bond was a free agent and he rubbed his old boss's n…
