  • The red states in the south that she is carrying tonight almost all regularly go Republican in the general election. She needs to show she can win in the Democratic blue states that is where the general election will be won or lost for the next Dem…

  • Trump is a huge anomaly. A lot of establishment conservatives greatly fear him because they think he is a closet social liberal and will revert to those positions if elected. Mean while the left hates him because of his immigration stand. I think…
  • Yes. Absolutely. Even when people love the same film, or the same actor, or the same director, it will be for different reasons. I'll repeat what I heard Mendes say in a great interview with Charlie Rose. Unlike other franchises, virtually every…
  • @bondjames, I find it interesting that you like both Obama and Trump as they are very unlike on some major issues. Is it because you think Trump if elected will revert to his progressive social views from not long ago, and is just saying stuff to …
  • There are very few of us non members of the I love Sam Smith fan club on here. So sorry for another post, but us "character assassins" and "bigots" need to stand our ground. These horrified vapors exhibited about, gasp, criticism of this over pra…

  • Bigelow would be terrific. She's talented and skilled in all the ways that could make for a great Bond film. But I think the chances of EON getting her to take on a Bond film are slim to none. But who knows.
  • it has become a big problem On this site to voice criticism of someone's character if they are gay (Smith) or black (Elba) without getting trashed for being biased. I don't excuse someone from from being a jerk because of their sexuality or race. …

  • I think the entire show just ticked me off. It was one long lecture about diversity that never quit, and Sarah Silverman really pissed me off. Plus my kid is still sick and was crying all night, so I'm obviously just in a really bad mood. Ba hum b…
  • i had no problem with Smiths LGBT comments. It was his lack of gratitude for the people who made his win possible that ticked me off. He's won Grammies and an Oscar at 23 with very big assists. He had to pay Petty off for plagerizing his Grammy son…
  • I hate that it's such an incredible and entertaining contest, because it's entertaining for a lot of bad reasons. I've never seen anything like it. The world is in such a dangerous state, the next Pres. Is going to be so important and the country …

  • Just my .02' but I don't agree. The other winners thanked the key players in their wins. He didn't and he of all people given how small his effort was, owed some big thank yous.
  • Wrong. His Oscar was made 100% possible by EON who selected him, Newman who orchstrated and arranged his music and Mendes who rewrote the lyrics. Smith plagerized his Grammy winning song which required a legal settlement with Petty, so why should…
  • Smith made a short acceptance speech about being the first openly gay winner etc, which is wrong. He thanked no one at EON for making his Oscar win possible. His lack of class and gratitude for a 20 minute effort was more than matched by Sarah Silv…
  • Don't agree. To many very liberal senators voted with her. Colin Powell, hardly an idiot gave speeches based on the false UMD line and he was part of the administration. It's just my .02 here, but you dislike Hillary so much you are letting that co…
  • Though I agree with many of your political points @bondjames, I disagree with your harping on Clintons Iraq Senate war vote. She voted along with 76 other senators, many of them were liberals, and she gave it qualified support. Her vote like the …
  • I'm pretty sure that Obama is very worried about collateral damage from bombing Isis targets. There have been two recent incidents of drones killing Doctors Without Borders workers and 60 minutes had a really sad segment last Sunday about an innoce…
  • I thought Craig nailed his Bond in SP. I just disliked the tight suits.

  • I don't like lots of things about Clinton and the Clintons methods on building their foundation suck. But, the endlessly shrill attacks on Clinton over Benghazi is stupid. We lost 7 or 8 men there. We lose more men than that in 15 minutes almost …
  • Jany had nothing to do with it. Pictures of Craig in non Bond settings, show him in the same way too tight suits. I've seen some pictures where he looked laughable his suit was so small. It's his lousy taste, not hers.

  • I like Craig as an actor and as Bond. He also seems intelligent and mostly unpretentious for a big shot actor. But..... he sometimes seems to think he is still 18 years old and dresses like it. Badly. Given his age, he can look really ridiculous a…

  • Germanlafy, your view of Trump as dangerous because he is an idiot is inside out. He is smart and cunning as hell. Yes, he is an egomaniac, but they all are. Read about Cruz if you want to learn about someone who thinks he is God's right hand and…
