Not only that but Steve Jobs stole all his swag from Elliot Carver.

The 1967 Casino Royale has been making the rounds on HBO and I've come to the conclusion its the perfect movie to watch on mute or have on in the background at a party as the campy 60's production design is incredible in an Austin Powers sort of way but the music and dialogue is horrendous.

This was a well done episode. I think what I like about The Leftovers is that even though I'm a huge fan of the HBO house style (naturally), I like that this is the oddball in their programming block. Its their first series that was a co-production with an outside studio (Warner Brothers in this case).

I don't think that's an issue the show has ever even tackled. At least not in my viewing of it. The religious debates, such as they are on the show, are much more tangential than the marketing would have you believe.

I think HBO has to keep it around for next year. The only other dramas on their schedule are Vinyl, Game of Thrones, and Westworld barring some miniseries. That said, I'd be down for 5 seasons. It seems inexpensive to produce and HBO kept Treme as a charity case and that got even lower ratings.

Don't ever watch Rome then.

To the people that say the Dalton era was "too dour", have they seen Goldeneye lately. The underwater cinematography in Licence to Kill is excellent as well.

The AV Club

I'll go one better on the 1989 version and say its a pretty much perfect adaptation of the story (barring the wendigo and some of the more out there stuff in the woods that appeared in the novel). A remake, especially one by Del Toro would be way too slick and stylized. The no frills, chintzy 80's production values…

I don't know why that handsome devil would attach himself to such an irrelevant product. Then again I'm posting a comment to something that's fast becoming one.

Part 2 still had the residue of late 70's sleaziness to it which is a major point in its favor.

The episode works if you just pretend all of Silvio's pro-Columbus lines were said by Paulie. (The episode was hurt by not having Tony Sirico available to film).

The new opening credits grew on me a bit the second time around. I dug season 1's because they were evocative and reminded me of Carnivales' to some degree.

That's still more of a fuck given than the rest of the world world gives for another entry in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo franchise.

You're right about Dr. No's pacing. I think its better paced than Goldfinger. Once you get past the awkwardness of the Three Blind Mice opening theme, its pretty smooth sailing and a fun watch.

The silliness of Bond piloting the spaceship at the end and shooting asteroids brings Moonraker down a peg, but I think at least the first 3 quarters of the film are a good Bond movie. Its hard to beat the on-location beauty of Rio, Venice, and Drax's California estate by way of France.

This is some of the worst user name/comment synergy I've seen.

Remember that week when the AV Club posted an alleged news item about a Neill Blomkamp Alien movie every day? Also known as the time, Blomkamp desperately tried to cling to any thread of goodwill left for him with the impending disaster of Chappie looming. Good times.

Even though Murphy tricks me on an annual basis, I'm in. I think his take on a university atmosphere is worth a look the same way a derailed train is something to see.

We shouldn't throw stones from our glass house. Walking Dead shows regularly get B+'s around here.
