Diana Rigg > Eva Green > everyone else

Mostly because it wasn't, for CR, much a transformation? Judi Dench was the only holdover actor from the Brosnan era, and IMO they really didn't play up the parental aspect of her role until (sigh) Skyfall.

Hot take: Casino Royale is by far the best Bond movie.

On the money. It also had the weird side-effect of casting an impossible shadow over the rest of the Daniel Craig era: Ian Fleming was a workmanlike author on the best of days but he was fucking Marcel Proust compared to the gang of idiots that Eon got together to write Quantum, Skyfall and Spectre.

That's Chabad AKA the Lubavitchers. How many of them still actively believe Schneerson was mosiach is a contentious question, but the answer is almost certainly "more than will admit it if they think any non-chabadniks are around."

I can't imagine that it does. I'm Jewish and if you held a gun to my head I couldn't explain the (current) doctrinal differences between chassiddim and misnagdim without resorting to wikipedia.

He certainly could involve the secular authorities, but only at the risk of not only himself but — importantly — his son being completely ostracized and disowned by literally every single family member and friend that they have in the chassidic community.

As any right-thinking man over the age of 35 would be!

LAW. YER.

Somewhere buried in the mess of Luke Cage's back six episodes was a compelling story about how Alfie Woodard's Black Mariah came to embrace her destiny as a mob boss via the careful tutelage of Shades (who was really just looking for a sane person to hench for). Wasting that plot (and Woodard and Rossi in the roles)…

Let's be a little more realistic: it would have starred Cynthia Rothrock.

Wait, no, I take it back!

Holy shit Will, talk about burying the lede.

The amazing thing is that they still touched on only some of the highlights of his career. God bless working british actors.

"I presume he ends up on Earth?"

The book did an excellent job of pandering to my personal micro-demographic, and I can't say that I didn't enjoy it as I was reading it.

SO HAPPY.

"The Trial of the Incredible Hulk", which was… surprisingly pretty good in parts? John Rhys Davies made an excellent Kingpin, and the scene where they manage to briefly get the best of Daredevil in a fight by wheeling in giant speakers was pretty nifty.

It, uh, kinda helps that she's a much better actor than everyone else who's ever been in a Thor movie, up to and including a slumming-for-a-paycheck Anthony Hopkins.

SOLD. HERE IS ALL THE MONEY.
