Binge watching Banshee. Ranges from too over the top to just the right level of over the top to be enjoyable.

Yeah, that's just one of those that you have to sit back and call it for what it is:  stupid fun.

It's simple, quick and dirty. Heroes are pro-active. Wimmen are hott. Children are troubled. Villains are evil. Violence is quick and drity. Sex is frequent. Heists, fights and car chases. You have stereotypical Amish, stereotypical Injuns and stereotypical Ukes.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Edge of Tomorrow. Liked it quite a bit, though it's hampered by a weak ending.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

look every time bond tries to be relevant to his time it turns out crap.
Which is why in about 4 out of 5 films the villain should be Russian. I don't care about the War on Terror or hackers or North Korea. I want Russians in onesies.

QuoteRegarding Bond, Casino Royale is one of my favorite Bond films ever, but in general Craig's Bond is way too emo and self-searching, which kinda doesn't fit the character at all. I think Brosnan had all the Bond-isms down while not being dismissable as pure comedy like Roger Moore did. I think there's a balance.
I love Casino Royale and I like the Craig films. They're just not really what I want out of a Bond film. As I say for me it's like Batman. I prefer Burton to Nolan by some distance.

Brosnan's a bit effete <_<
Let's bomb Russia!

You might be on to something here, since Goldeneye is probably the Brosnan film that holds up best.

Despite Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist?

"Despite" wouldn't be the correct word here (rather "because"), but she's not in Goldeneye anyway. You're mixing it with The world is not enough.

Iormlund

Famke Janssen.  :mmm:

Also, the videogame was great.

Darth Wagtaros

Million Ways to Die in the West.

Glad someone else bought the ticket. 
PDH!

Jaron

Winner of THE grumbler point.

Eddie Teach

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Darth Wagtaros

I just think the movie was crap.
PDH!
