When you're doing the 'history of ________', I guess you just have to draw the line at some arbitrary point in the past and go from there. Personally, I would have thought Seven Samurai (1954) would have been a pretty good place to start.

Sit down, dad…

I admit that a list of non-thrilling Bond action sequences would be twice as long as this one, but for 'genuinely thrilling', I've got:

I vote French Connection over Dirty Harry in any conceivable category, but I have to add that the sniper scene/car chase is the one sequence that DOESN'T work for me; it's exciting and technically really well done, but it doesn't fit the reality of the rest of the movie at all.

And how many times they pass that same green Beetle.

Can I choose Stop Making Sense, or is that cheating?

And Jeff Bridges playing Flynn as The Dude for no apparent reason.

It could have been worse; it could have been his brother Livingston.

I'd like to see Brian & Roger Eno, Daniel Lanois and some assorted friends perform the Apollo/For All Mankind soundtrack while early footage of the space program plays behind them.

Just for variety, I'd really like to see the result of pairing Tarantino with a ruthless editor who had the power to lock him out of the editing room.

I just found out he's from Chicago, and I'm shocked. If any celebrity just HAD to be Canadian, surely it was him.

Zzzzzz… They're not even entertainingly crazy like Gary Busey and Meat Loaf. I'd put my money on Laila Ali getting whatever attention this could possibly generate; the old man's panache is in there somewhere.

Allow me to be a different kind of asshole by claiming that my first instinct on seeing the title was, "Hooray, they finally made a movie about Trevor Rabin leaving Yes in 1994 so that he could focus on film scoring." I'm sorry for everything.

I agree, and I'm not sure why the opening crawl wasn't a bit more informative. Let's assume that Abrams was insistent on sticking with three paragraphs as per tradition, but an extra couple of sentences could have cleared things up.

And Leia spends even less time than that mourning the complete destruction of her home planet and the death of almost everybody she has ever known. I love the OT as much as anyone, but man, were they loosely written.

As a former Olive Garden server, this article hits home for me. Mainly because demographically speaking, there's probably about a 95% overlap between the kind of person who would eat there regularly and the kind of person who would be offended by a show like Lucifer.

I was a server there for 3 years. You'll never know how lucky you were.

I waited tables at the Olive Garden for a couple of years. Considering the social and psychological state of most of my former coworkers, the image of any of them answering the phone and hearing about how they're “supporting sympathy towards the devil and glorifying Satan” really put a smile on my face. One Million…
