I only stated that I liked the end of FYEO as a statement against MT, one of the few times that EON actually does make a stand. And they did it in good taste, even if some people dislike it, which is fine.
I found SF's ending bordering on the overly dramatic and did little to endear me to that movie. If this handiwork of Mendes continues in the next movie I just might step away from the franchise for the time being. EON being pretentious does not make me enjoy their movies better.
Right. An alleged cover-up of a soccer accident and the fact that she didn't agree with thelivingroyale on apartheid is enough to persuade me that Britain's second greatest leader of the 20th century was "evil, nasty and snobby."
lol
They're ARMED!!!!!
He's serious, guys! :O
Knock it off yourself. We're also quite aware of your dreary Leftist views. So if you and your henchmen don't want to fight over politics then kindly be good enough to leave them out of my thread.
:D
FRWL and YOLT are my least favorite Bond Endings. A few edits and they would have been fine.
At present it keeps getting derailed by one or two who can't let things go.
Thanks for your co operation guys.
Enjoy, brilliant release!
An "alleged" cover up of a football accident? Wow. You really do have no******idea. Maybe don't comment on stuff you know nothing about or at least do a bit of research before making comments like that.
The police let too many people into the pens after they opened the exit gates to let fans in (all this in a ground that wasn't fit for purpose anyway). Once they opened up the exit gate they should've closed off the tunnel to pens 3 and 4. They didn't and this caused crushing. They also reacted slowly and it recently came to light that if they'd reacted quicker to the situation, 41 of the 96 who died could've been saved. As it stands, only 14 fans went to hospital.
Reports after the match showed this. Thatcher was made aware that the reports showed that the police were to blame and she didn't want them shown in a bad light. And so the police began a smear campaign, blaming the Liverpool fans, talking about how they were looting dead bodies, attacking and pissing on the "brave cops", beating up policeman giving the kiss of life. It wasn't until 2012 that the courts finally said that the fans weren't to blame. The fact that Thatcher allowed this to happen makes me think that yeah, she was an evil woman.
And in what world is Apartheid not evil?
Oh, and apparently I'm SaintMark's "henchman" because I happen to agree with him on something (despite the fact that I actually disagree with him a lot). But then again I suppose we're all part of the PC mafia that's out to get you aren't we PK?

Yeah, whatever. If the worst Thatcher did was cover up for the cops...pfft. All pols do far worse on a daily basis. If Thatcher ordered cops to gun down innocent civilians, I might be fussed.
As to apartheid, lets just see how SA goes now that it's been disbanded. Early returns--mass murder and torture of the nation's remaining productive elements, for instance, and all covered up (since you're so big on cover ups) by the Leftist media--are not promising.
PS--Your use of the term "cover up" to describe Thatcher's actions is far too strong. At worst, she expressed some concern at criticizing the police to fiercely. That's not a cover up, it's an opinion.

DAF may not be the worst Bond movie (DAD is), but it may be the most frustrating. Way too much comedy in it that destroys the tension and suspense.
when in reality it was their own incompetence that caused the deaths and the fans were innocent, none of the stuff mentioned on the front page above was true. That is a cover up. Thatcher knew that the police were to blame but she didn't want people criticising them.
And no it's not all Thatcher has done, I also mentioned how she destroyed communities, etc, but you dismissed all that because overall, the economy got better.
Actually, she did come very close to mobilising the army during the miners strike. And the cops severely beat up unarmed miners during the miners strike.

True as the fight in the elevator in Amsterdam is so brilliant and yet they choose to end with the fact that 007 pretends that he killed James Bond. Greatness next to total idiocy.
It was a good idea but badly executed. Had she said something like: "This man is named James Bond" looking at his papers, then yes, that would have been interesting. DAF is the prototype of Austin Powers.
This always bothered me too. Even later in the movie when Bond is impersonating Blofeld's associate he says, "I don't like dealing with a guy as tough as Bond" or something to that effect. Now I forget exactly what this character did but is Bond really that well known to everyone in the criminal underworld? I think that makes him a pretty lousy spy. He should be a ghost that barely exists on the grid.
We will resume the thread in due course.
