See, Little Lion Man and I Will Wait sound like the same song to me.

I'm definitely not a hipster and I listen to a lot of folk music, and Mumford and Sons is just so unchallenging and inauthentic to me.

Ugh. The worst, on a couple different levels. For one thing, the song itself is really just that same picked chord over and over and over and over. The lyrics read like a 14 year old wrote them. And Mumford and Sons, in general, kind of bug me in that they create these really generic folkish songs that all sound the…

The guy in Mexico City was not the Pale King.

This immediately came to mind:

Maybe - but you can tailor the 008 movies to the actor the way the Bond movies are tailored to Craig.

A few haven't aged all that well, mainly from Moore's run; but they're all still fun to watch.

Huh - weird. Bond seems to be my main nerdy obsession. Currently rewatching all the films in release order leading up to Spectre.

I thought I replied to this, but it must not have gone through. Anyway, 009 gets killed off early on in Octopussy, and 002 and 004 get killed in the opening scene of The Living Daylights. Others are mentioned in Goldfinger, The Man With the Golden Gun, and a few others.

No - 009 shows up in Octopussy, though he's immediately killed off. Same with 002 and 004 in The Living Daylights. Other agents are mentioned in a couple other movies, as well.

I think this shared universe trend leaves a perfect way to do it. Have Elba (or whoever) as 008 and Craig as 007 work together on a mission in a pre-credit sequence, then have them go their separate ways once the title song hits. Then, we follow 008 on his next adventure.

Is that the Mumford and Sons song about waiting?

The timeline also made zero sense by the end. They were all graduating(?) in the finale, and Corey's one-year old brother could walk. This was after jumping from 7th grade to 10th grade… a lot of assumed time jumping was happening there.

Also - he was playing a character named Jason Marsden on Boy Meets World which has all sorts of logic implications.

I find myself saying "Careful man, there's a beverage here" in crowded spaces.

I'm glad to know that I wasn't imagining the Stefan Urquelle plotline on that show. Hard to believe some of the ideas that made it on to network television in the mid-90s.

This is Water is wonderful. So is his piece on 9/11, The View from Mrs. Thompson's. I also really like Host.

I use this one constantly.

That was Day… B'day.

I also like that he's gone from being the guy who only cares about his coffee mug to being the only member of the administration who can actually hold it together.
