Quit lying to yourself.

I don't think any of the Bonds that aren't named Sean Connery have a fully-formed take on the character until movie three or four (sorry, Lazenby/Dalton). Craig's approach has definitely benefited from having played the character a couple of times, and owning the role. I also strongly believe GoldenEye, while good, is…

"Everything"

"Tim Allen has standards,"

You just ruined The Santa Clause.

I actually never watched any of them, which is insane considering how popular they were. I think I caught like half of one on a coach in France, but…yeah. It'll be weird if and when I get around to it.

I like the opening and Rick Yune's diamond-faced henchman. I always enjoy a little Rosamund Pike too.

That's amusing as duck, I bet it leads to some interesting sentences.

What if I trashed your lights?

"ducked up"

All franchises that have been with us as long as Bond has (Apes, Trek, Batman, Who) tend to be super responsive after their initial innovative streak, so I think it's accurate to attribute the change to both. Die Another Day did its bit too.

It doesn't matter how many times I hear/read/see this, I can never take it seriously.

He's better than the movies he was in. People say that of Brosnan, but it's more true of Dalton. Dalton made one decent Bond movie and one decent movie that wasn't really much of a Bond film at all, but neither of them were great.

Good. I like a crazy supervillain lair and a cheesy pun as much as the next guy, but there always seems to be a point at which the Bond movies get overindulgent and/or over-reliant on that shit and just stop being cool (Diamonds Are Forever, Roger Moore's Entire Run You Know I'm Right Dammit, Die Another Day…). Myers…

"If ever"? Dude, they're on track to make Flash as OP as in the comics, he already has the cosmic treadmill waiting in the wings and everything.

With the superpowered henchman, and the usage of the imprisoned superhuman, it felt like the most comicsy plotting so far, in the way that Arrow only achieved in Season 2.

Weaker than last week to me, confused by grade.

This episode served as a reminder to me that what really distinguishes The Last Airbender from The Legend of Korra is that Aang's predicament, his stat quo, was much more of a holistic storytelling engine. The last of his kind up against an evil empire, touring the world in search of knowledge. There was a tight core…

Anybody else notice the massive shift in musical style this episode? They went from aping Cliff Martinez to aping Steven Price.

Is it canon?
