TV/Movies Megathread

[The Larch]

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.

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.

Might be.  The "I thought Christmas only came once a year" line must rank near the top of Bond's cheesiest one liners ever.

Funniest thing is the writers of the Brosnan movies are the same ones as the Craig ones - there's probably lots of credited and uncredited rewrites that explain part of the difference, but it's a fun weird fact given how vastly different both series are in style.

[The Brain]

I haven't watched any post-80s Bond. They seem to suck sweaty man ass.

The Expendables 2. Quite boring and not-really-fun until the last set piece at the airport - which has some decent gun porn -. Got the same feeling with the first one, too.

Famke Janssen. 

[Tonitrus]

Started watching "Longmire" on Netflix...and after the first few probably will not continue:

- More plot holes than I can be bothered to keep up with.
- Terrible writing.
- Crappy soap opera-esque plot devices (daughter hooks up with political rival deputy by episode 3).

And the "so poor he has to walk 3 hours to two jobs" reservation lives in a mobile home with a modern interior that would please Martha Stewart...it's like they're not even trying.
