I've never particularly liked it for that reason. It feels like Bond as Miami Vice. Also, I was about 10 when I saw it in the theatre and the scene in the submarine pressure chamber thing scared the hell out of me for some reason.

I liked The World Is Not Enough, too. If you ignore Denise Richards it's got the right mix of grit and camp. I don't think it's as good as Goldeneye, but it might be Brosnan's best performance.

As someone who's watched every Bond movie more than once, and has an attachment to this franchise I can't really explain, a few thoughts:

Is it worse that my handle comes from a line in this movie, or that said line wasn't even uttered by Nicolas Cage?

I don't know about the record (yet), but this review is a mess. As far as can tell from it, the band may have been too bold in trying to stretch, but it also wasn't bold enough, but you certainly can't accuse it of being tame, but there's a lot of boilerplate. It's nice that they tried to get out of their comfort…

The Rolling Stones.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that Jim Beaver - or someone rather credibly purporting to be Jim Beaver - posted a reply to this idiotic review? http://www.forbes.com/sites…

There actually was kind of a bullshit question in that interview. Why would Charlie ask Gretchen and Elliot if Walter White is still out there? How the hell are they supposed to know? It just seemed a set-up so she could say here thing about Walter White not existing anymore.

I assumed they didn't pull their badges because they figured was an obvious trick to get them to lower their weapons (or at least be distracted enough to be easier to shoot).

While I don't have much time for Gunn's acting, have to agree that the stuff about her appearance changing is grossly unfair, since it really should be directed at Gilligan et al.

If you're a remotely public figure, it's generally a good idea not to read online comments about yourself.

Can we separate the first two Kings of Leon albums from the rest of their catalog and pretend they ceased to exist after they came out?

To my mind, the Charlatans are one of the more underrated British bands of their era. They got lumped in with the Madchester thing, but they had a hell of a mid-career run with Tellin' Stories, Us and Us Only and even the deeply weird Wonderland - none of which sound much like their early stuff.

This season is obviously wildly uneven, even just from scene to scene, but I'm struck by how many great little (almost throwaway) moments are packed into even my least favourite episodes

If you're pining for relatively recent Pacino as something other than Pacino, there's (what I recall as) a pretty good little movie called Chinese Coffee that he directed and starred in. It's an adaptation of a play (which he also starred in), and mostly just features him and Jerry Orbach (!) as a pair of old friends…

I guess I liked End Times more than most - E still gets me when he's depressed - and I've always liked Blinking Lights more in theory than in practice (though it has a few fantastic songs). Anyway, I guess I'd rank:

Really liked most things about the movie. But I do find it a little weird how little Bond actually achieved in this movie.

I'm pretty sure the reason theatre-goers were less than thrilled was that they'd been sold by a preview that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie.
