  • Used to think that LALD was one of the better Bond films. Over the last couple of years, I've gone from that to realizing just how awful it is. OP and AVTAK have made similar reversals, only going in the opposite direction.
  • Mikkelsen for sure. Welles wasn't bad and could have been a truly iconic villain in the role had his film been played more as a straight adaptation as opposed to a spoof.

  • A non-announcement if there ever was one. Of course the next one is in development. Did anyone think that it actually wasn't? Sometime in the next few years? Wow, didn't see that coming at all.

  • I'd like to think that they wouldn't go down that route again. We just had a big anniversary film with Skyfall, and Spectre relied quite a bit on that kind of thing as well, so hopefully they wouldn't go that route for a third film in a row.

  • The flip side is true as well, though. It's not hard to imagine why there's no unity when the President-elect ran his campaign the way that he did. He could have run on the whole outsider thing without having to disparage virtually every minority …
  • With regards to the protesting, I don't see the harm in it so long as what happened in Portland last night doesn't become the norm. Given the way Trump ran his campaign, those that were deeply opposed to him need some space to vent, let their feeli…
  • I'd like to say that I'm shocked by the result, but unfortunately I'm not. I'd had this sneaking suspicion for the past week or so that Trump was going to find a way to pull this thing out, and he did. It's unfortunate but not really unexpected co…

  • We had a chance to finally make some progress on the third party front this election. It was squandered by poor candidates like Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. Maybe McMullin can make some headway, but he just didn't get the attention that the others…

  • Put me down as abstaining. Can't vote for either candidate, and the two third party candidates have proven to be shockingly poor choices as well.
