M herself brought up that important point that the Cold War was over....she called Bond a “sexist, misogynistic, dinosaur, a relic of the cold war” in Goldeneye. The script did a great job of acknowledging that shift.

My favorite joke at the time was the reveal that one of Carver’s henchman was a Bill Gates knockoff who proudly confessed his new operating system was full of new bugs.

Anyone else notice how much the villain looks and dresses like iPod-era Steve Jobs?

The only Christmastime Bond! I always put this one up near the top of my list of “un-Christmas” movies, along with Die Hard and Batman Returns. Seriously, it’s always a toss-up for me as to whether this or From Russia With Love is the best in the whole series. Casino Royale (2006) is always a contender.

I think it is amazing that Diana Rigg is hands-down the best “Bond girl” in this movie, gave the sexiest performance in TV history on The Avengers, and was one of the most badass characters on Game of Thrones in her 80s. And none of that is what she is really most distinguished for, which is her great theatrical…

Two things that strike me about Lazenby as Bond. 1) He’s the most physical before Craig. Other than Connery, he’s the only pre-Craig Bond that looks convincingly powerful in a fight.

“There’s a fucking asshole in there! There’s buttholes!”

This was the first time in history anyone did 75 takes of a lecture.

I think Serge was just very inconsistent, perhaps willfully so. I love this album but don’t like his other stuff with Birkin much, for example.

Yeah, a talented TV writer with recent acclaim/clout in charge, involvement from at least one key original creator, an HBO budget, and a limited series format, this is basically the platonic ideal of what fans of a video game/comic/novel usually hope for in an adaptation.

The best $125 I ever spent was on Cameo. I made a video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the day I proposed to my wife to surprise her, with interviews from friends and news footage from the day. Plus, I’ve been known to get a little sentimental and sappy at times. so as the video is nearing the end, I pop up on…

Do you mean the film that’s famously set in Edinburgh or the book that’s famously set in Edinburgh?

Only because everyone is too scared to go to Aberdeen

The new Penguin origin story is that he’s in fact a regular penguin mutated by a strict diet of deep-fried Mars bars and Irn-Bru after the zoo closed down.

Something like this?

The Joker already has a Glasgow smile, so it makes sense.

And I mean this in all sincerity.

The game was written by an Estonian that’s an ethnic minority, was born into the USSR, and is deeply critical of state-communism. 

The AV review undersells the colourisation, I think. Yeah, fine, it’s not perfect and certainly isn’t ‘true’ colour - but it has such a humanising affect on the subjects/events, alongside the added sound & conversations. Really, really mind blowing.
