I just watched it the other day actually; it's basically a too selfconscious followup to the batshit insanity of You Only Live Twice, and camp is never as much fun if it's intentional. That said, I do think it was more lively than Thunderball, and I totally agree without you about Russia and Goldfinger.

The Bond movie so meh they made it twice.
I would've called it my favourite Connery Bond just a few weeks ago, having not seen it in maybe 15 years, but going through them again now…nope, worst of 'em.

Copy them all…and you're a god

When I was a kid, in a rare moment of being able to get my hands on a skin mag, I looked over the ads and one of them was for sex dolls with a patented "Vac-U-Suck" technology. I always imagined it hooked up to a vacuum cleaner, but I saw a TV show about making Real Dolls about twenty years later and that explained

I'd forgotten the most batshit one - in grade 8 or 9, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Now, it wasn't picked by a teacher - it was for the math club, picked by one girl for our halloween party. But the teacher was there for it, signed off on it, I don't know what she was thinking. Neither did she -

You're not speculating and analyzing why a teacher would think it a good idea to show a given movie to their class?

Mac And Me, really?

I like being fellated too, but that's no excuse for liking Dead Poets Society.

No Wrath Of Khan, but we did watch Space Seed in grade 8 or 9.

Macbeth is pretty standard - just about everybody learns Romeo & Juliet (hello, teenage Olivia Hussey boobs!), then Macbeth, then it was a crapshoot for the third one. My sister-in-law's an English teacher and nothing's really changed on that score in 20 years, at least around here.
Though she says they wouldn't show

Polanski's Macbeth.

I'll show you exactly how funny Canadians are.

Yeah, the acting is great and it's got mood to spare. Just the fact of its setting and it playing it pretty straight makes it worth checking out. But both the story and the story*telling* are awful.

Eh…Moon isn't gonna static-screen anyone's brain. Starts off with a premise so fabulously dumb - if his job is so important, why is that guy alone up there? - that I started out thinking, this movie's bullshitting me, right?
So I spent the whole movie looking for when it was gonna Big Reveal the bullshit, and when it

Can't speak for Upstream Color but at least Primer seems pretty thought through. Another Earth gave us another Earth in the sky, and saved the "What if there's another me up there, who made different choices?" question as a major character beat with like ten minutes to go.

No, but it means you're likely in for some people telling you about how you must like your movies "spoon-fed" to you.
Don't feel bad though, these guys just wish they could operate a spoon

Has it been confirmed yet that Benjamin Stacks made his fortune not through industry, not through science and invention, not through the stock market, not even through athletics or inheriting it but by owning a record label and being a "mogul"?
Because if not…well, callin' it

You don't know how close to the prime of my life I am! (cries, turns 40)

I do like True Romance a lot, but beyond that…are we elevating Tony Scott to a "better director than Michael Bay" level now that he's dead, or something? Because he always struck me as just as unbearable as Michael Bay - in fact usually indistinguishable from Michael Bay, just without the toy sales and with the

Tony Scott's best movie? (snorts)
