+1 for the Billy comment as he banned me from commenting on Screamer after I kept pointing out facts that showed he was talking gibberish.

I kind of agree with you; but the Scanner Darkly movie nailed it :)

Waltz’s Blofeld is really only a couple steps away from Dr. Evil, if that. The movie tries to wink at this by giving Blofeld a white cat who stalks around his office, but I’m not actually sure that’s a wink, and the kitsch is incongruous regardless

Just saw this on my Facebook newsfeed.

What’s next, a highlight of a tennis player putting the ball between the racket and their shoe and picking it up that way?

Wow, England and The Netherlands? Are you Jozy Altidore? Because if so, you weren’t playing in England.
