  • Neck and neck, but, at the last moment, AVTAK for the Blondie... and... I really don't want to give a Klebbie. The majority of these songs came out as I was growing up, and, although I couldn't stand the first two songsfrom the 80s films, as an adul…
  • I believe Tarantino when he says he won’t direct another film. He's a quirky and an eccentric man, with an encyclopedic knowledge of films. He set this little deadline for himself because I think that’s the way this guy’s brain functions. I do lo…

  • I'm loving Ripley, at the moment. Great writing and direction from Steven Zaillian.

  • Goldeneye gets the Blondie, but, I actually enjoy all of the Brosnan era songs. GE comes the closest to an all out classic, the rest don't, but none, to me, are terrible. DAD, to my ear, is cheesy and silly, but still fun, so, I think based on what …

  • What's the difference @CrabKey ?? In TGWTGT, rape is seen for what it is: a horrific act. The barn scene in Goldfinger was Bond's triumph. And if you can't see that, then at least you should see that this is deus ex machina via the penis. Bond…
