I watched The World's End over the weekend.  I need to watch it again at some point to make a final decision, but I'd say it's the weakest of the trilogy.  Nothing comes close to Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz kinda grew on me after a while.

Alpha House, I like it. Despite being a show about republicans they manage to avoid humiliating the characters for cheap laughs. It manages to to be funny while retaining the dignity of the main characters.

The Spy Who Loved Me (19757).   Consider it.  It features a Bond girl played by an attractive young woman who does an excellent job impersonating someone who hasn't a clue about acting

Oh yeah and did i tell you about the SETS?  WOW! Paper mache hooray!

Fixed.

I forget- Is The Spy Who Loved Me the one where Roger Moore rogers the girl young enough to be his granddaughter, or the one where he rogers the girl ugly enough to be his daughter?

For Your Eyes Only is the one where he has a teenage ice skater throwing herself at him(He actually turns her down though).

The love interest in The Spy Who Loved Me is Catherine Bach.

That's a fair assessment of Catherine Bach, but there's a lot of sheet metal in those Ken Adam sets. :angry:

Spy Who Loved Me is the one I got in trouble for when my mom found out I went to see it at the theatre against her instructions.

Did she have a fundamentally unsound view of the production designer's art also?

If all reboots were at the level of 1992's Last of the Mohicans, there would be nothing to bitch about.
Everything but the last 8 mints of Last of the Mohicans: boring
Last 8 minutes of Last of the Mohicans: one of the best scenes ever
