I had a letter published in the Rom lettercol once or twice. Was awarded a No-Prize. 🙂

HIMYM was quite good, for a short while. And interesting & different compared to the usual.

Kang is the worst Marvel Comics “big bad”. There has never been a good Kang story in the comics; and at this point, there can’t be.

Hot take: Unknown was actually pretty good.

Die Hard With A Vengeance.

Brian Cox has delivered some of the greatest lines in history. The one you quoted is one of them. My other favorite is...

I’m not sure if you should be listing as a “credential”, that you think Dark World was a better movie than Ragnarok or Doctor Strange. That might be more disqualifying than bolstering. :-)

I agree, doesn’t make sense that Ryan returned the gun same-night.  That part of Ryan’s testimony didn’t make sense to me.

I almost feel like I’d like it more if it was more ambiguous about whether he really did mean to shoot her, and maybe even he doesn’t know for sure.

I’m not at all convinced Ryan’s shooting of Erin was an “accident”.

Yeah, I’m definitely skirting perilously close to that, if not totally over the edge. Tilda Swinton is such a casting coup at that spot; maybe that’s giving me “license” to overlook something important.

I dunno man.

Well: but I think it wasn’t presented as an “action” he took. Just part of the accident that led to him being trapped on board.

How do I un-like this? :-)

It’s possible to find various negative essays on this story, too.

It bugs me that no one will admit that The Dark Knight is a turgid joyless pile of crap whenever Heath Ledger is not onscreen.

Same. And same.

His specialty is the celebrity overdose.

Goldeneye is two movies. It is absolutely terrible for the first half of it (except the cold open!), a recycling of scenes from prior movies.

You misspelled “best”. Tomorrow Never Dies is the best of the Brosnan Bond flicks; and top 3 or 4 in the series before Daniel Craig came along.
