  • To be fair, it was brutal. ;) Just not in the way that it was advertised.

  • Agreed on that. And conservatives wonder why the group as a whole has a hard time being taken seriously these days. It's nonsense like that which drowns out the rational voices on the right.

  • I definitely don't disagree that we shouldn't have gone in there. Doing so would have given one of the factions (ISIS) exactly what they wanted, which is to fight us on their own soil. It would have also been a catastrophe that most likely would h…

  • I think it's more of a case of no standards, really. On Trump's end, there's no standards in terms of how the campaign is operated. Pence is just along for the ride. Usually you would be able to say that the VP candidate speaks for the Presiden…

  • The problem with MI3, for me, is that it very much feels like it's just a lengthier episode of Alias, which JJ Abrams was mostly known for at the time he directed the film, along with Lost. It works OK on the small screen, and I remember being reas…
  • RN and De Palma's original are the two best in the franchise running away. The others, despite GP having possibly the best team around Cruise, have been pretty forgettable, especially 2 and 3.

  • Most likely the same "sources" that said that first Hiddleston and then Turner would be announced as Bond back in June. As usual, nothing to see here, unfortunately.
  • Funny. The somewhat humorous thing about the Trump Wall is that it's pretty much already been exposed as being something that wouldn't be all that effective against someone that really wants to get across it anyway. If they make it 30 feet tall,…

  • I'm perfectly fine with a recast of everyone but Fiennes. I'd like to see him stay on for as long as they can keep him.
  • It would probably depend on the person that I was showing the scene to, assuming that the point of this is to get them to want to watch more of the franchise. Off the top of my head, I'd probably go for Pushkin's interrogation in TLD. Terrific sc…

  • Seydoux herself was fine. For me she was one of the only tolerable things about SP. The character and the romance, on the other hand, were poorly written and rushed, but I thought Seydoux got both the character and the romance closer to what the…

  • I think they could pull off the YOLT storyline, but they'd have to be careful about it. I don't think that they could handle it by simply having Blofeld, Hinx, or some of his lackeys show up and kill her. They'd have to get extremely creative with…
  • I assume that Hillary's running ads with that quote from Trump praising her. I've seen the ones where she's replaying all of Trump's foul language while showing children watching him on TV, but that's the only one I've seen. You'd think that par…
