Christmas. I can watch and enjoy Bond at any time of the year, but fall and winter is my favorite.
-
I’ll bring over some of my thoughts from the other discussion and add some more here. I believe that Bond is mostly an apolitical individual. He strikes me as someone that doesn’t have the time for or interest in political stuff, preferring to focus…
-
I’ve always imagined Bond being more or less apolitical. I just don’t imagine he cares that much. Right wingers and left wingers alike would whine about his ways of living, after all, and how immoral he is. He could well be one of those “they’re all…

Honestly, it wouldn’t be the end of the world to me if the movie series literally just stopped with No Time to Die. Don’t get me wrong, it would suck to not get new Bond films anymore, but if the alternative is getting stuff like recent Star Wars mo…

It cannot be overstated how important and influential the original Donner Superman film is. I would love to have had the chance to see it in the theater when it first came out - that must have been absolutely incredible. II - both cuts, IMO - was th…

The whole “internal discussions about Bond’s place in the modern world / can he be seen as a hero” is utterly ridiculous if true, and shines a light on one of the biggest issues with modern films. Way too much sanitization and perfection for protago…

Disappointing but not surprising.
-
I can’t tell how good this is going to be at all from that trailer. I hope very good, as I think the first two films with Christopher Reeve to this day are the only exceptional Superman films, and the series deserves better than what we’ve seen for …

Best wishes @George_Kaplan, whatever is causing your leave, and I hope we see you again when conditions allow :)
-
Recently checked out Scarface (1932) and The Roaring Twenties (1939). Honestly, they hit just as hard as more modern gangster films, still packed with great storytelling and violence - just not as explicit as later movies. I love good gangster movie…

Almost a whole year since my last update unfortunately, but here I am having finished up YOLT today. I read the first half of the novel earlier in the year, but got sidetracked with many other things, then finally picked it up again recently to fini…

I just realized I'm about to go two full calendar years without watching a Bond film. Never thought I'd go this long since becoming a fan, haha. It's not even from lack of wanting to, I've just been doing so much other stuff. New 4K releases would b…

I hope you enjoy @chrisisall! Let us know what you think when you get the chance, and hopefully we didn’t overhype it for your tastes!

@GoldenGun My list has also been sent!
-
The Shining has always been my favorite, and I think as of this moment, my Top 5 including that would be Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, and Eyes Wide Shut. A Clockwork Orange and 2001 are constant threats for the Top 5, too, though. …
-
Eyes Wide Shut is so awesome, and it only gets better every time I see it. I watched it around last Christmas, seen it probably 7 or 8 times by now. It’s another one I love to watch late at night. The explorations of both the difficulties of marriag…

1980s neon-soaked greatness for me tonight: After Hours (1985) - A funny favorite I've seen several times now, one of my absolute top Scorsese features. I'm a sucker for the trope of the boring everyman being inserted into wild situations and set…

I think GE is more iconic and stronger in key areas - namely villains and story - but I do enjoy TND a lot still. I think both are way, way ahead of TWINE and DAD. The news angle of TND, and refreshing focus on action and getting from A to B over pe…

All of Us Strangers (2023). I cried - a lot. It was one of those movies where not many of the circumstances or characters were really directly relatable for me, and yet I still felt so deeply impacted by everything. It was a simple but excellent sto…

I hate that this was canceled.

The Last Picture Show (1971). I had seen this one a long time ago and wanted to give it another shot, definitely enjoyed it more this time around. It’s a remarkably well acted movie with heavily flawed characters, and the wasteland setting is really…
