    That whole cabal is so clever with their subliminal messages.

    @barryt007, I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit there! To quote Bond in Skyfall, at least you don't still have spots.

    I just find it endlessly amusing that Theo is one year shy of Sean's age when he filmed Dr. No, yet the lad looks fresh off his mother's milk.

    Face wise maybe but his body is muscular and ripped deliciously and he shows it more than enough in his films.

    I don't see how that's a viable piece of criteria for masculinity or maturing in features, however. There's been five year olds that have taken steroids to get "jacked" as the kids say, yet that doesn't stop them from being the pre-pre pubescent tykes they are.

    Being masculine isn't about muscle, it's about presence. To be able to walk into a room and get the guys and girls looking, for envy, attraction or anything otherwise. To look dangerous and mysterious in just the right mixture, with the assurance in your bones that anyone who hopped in your car to go with you for a drive would be passenger to a night they'd never forget. Sean had that more than any man I have seen on the big screen, George was able to service that feeling (thanks to his ego), Roger had charm to back up what he lacked in masculinity, Timothy had the mix of danger and mystery, Pierce could do a mix and Daniel has that similar flair of Connery where he feels like a man who belongs in the role quite naturally with a sense of style and danger all his own.

    Theo lacks these elements of the 6, and any time I see him in a suit he looks like a boy dressing in men's clothing. There's no feeling of masculinity to him in my eyes, and I can't really say, "Let's wait till he grows a bit more," because he's already supposed to be there!

    He was very good in the horror series 'Bedlam'...he was the main character who could see ghosts...great series that.
    He has the right voice for Bond,just not the look.

    Not quite @Thunderfinger. I've yet to get my two kills. My water pistol just can't get the job done.

    "So that's what I've been doing wrong for all these years"

    I'm ashamed I had to quote from my least favourite Bond, but it's the only one that came to mind.

    Agreed, that was a good choice of response.

    Does anyone know a software that extracts only the music from a video?

    @jake24 If you're referring to isolating music from words, Audacity can do that, but it seems that you have to know what you're doing. I tried using it to remove the lyrics from "Surrender," and while the results were impressive, I could still hear vocals. Granted, I did this just messing around on my own, without looking up any tutorials.

    If you just want the audio from a video, CloudConvert can convert MP4 video to MP3 audio, and you don't even need to download any software since it's done in the cloud.

    Both are free, by the way.

    Random thought - does anyone else feel like comic book movies used to be so much better? Post 2010/11ish, I just haven't been able to enjoy them as much for the most part, with a few exceptions.

    I think they've gotten less corny or silly in some respects, @FoxRox. A Winter Soldier wasn't likely to come along back in the day, for example. Spider-Man 2 (2004) is still my favorite, however (along with 2005's Batman Begins and 2008's Dark Knight), so there is a case to be made of some better things existing in the early to mid-2000s.

    I think saturation of the market also has played a part, where so much of our lives are flooded with this genre that it's hard to keep up and hard to judge films fairly when they are jammed into theater releases every year ten movies high.

    Yeah. I just stopped seeing them in large part because the stories really didn't seem as interesting to me. The Avengers was a massive let-down for me (one of the most overrated movies of all time IMO), for instance. Strangely enough, though it isn't my cup of tea in every respect, I found Deadpool to be one of the more interesting and worthwhile comic book films of the last few years. It did have some heart and freshness.

    Gimme a series of He-Man films instead.

    Does anyone find my tendency to apologize every time I screw up to be annoying? Just wondering.

    @KaijuDirectorOO7, if you're British I understand that chronically apologetic tendencies are kind of a cultural thing that are ingrained in the make-up of the natives. The Brits I do know have pointed this out to me before, and have gone so far to make the joke that the English are the sort to say sorry to people who tell them they say sorry too much.

    I think I do this too, but that could just be the anglophile in me.

    No, I'm sure I do it too. It's hard-wired into us as a species I think.

    Don't be making wild presumptions on human nature, Draggers. It's most erroneous. You'd better apologize. :P

    I'm definitely not British, just a poor simple Filipino. That being said we do have a reputation for hospitality. Besides, it's more of a force of habit for me.

  • I for one accept your apology. Being an American, I'm quite used to putting up with everyone else being in the wrong all the time. ;)
