A bold and deep cut of a take! I’ll allow it!

That final line was meant for a late-era Moore Bond, true, but that Sophia Marceau ice scene was a part of my sexual awakening.

Man everyone has Skyfall so high. I need to rewatch it. I saw it in theaters and again once it came to blu-ray but I just...meh? 

I’ve also been inspired to embark on a rewatch.

this is a VERY good point and I can’t even imagine my wife’s face if I suggested a Bond double feature. She’s already rewatched the entire Planet of the Apes catalogue this quarantine. 

Songs:

I really appreciated the ways GoldenEye was a little bit introspective, not just about Bond in his fictional universe, but to some degree about how Bond as a concept fit into a new audience, a generation of fans who had no real concept of Cold War politics and spy vs spy storytelling.

Can everyone in this comments section rank their Brosnan/Craig era films so I understand where you stand on these? I think how you rank will speak volumes about what your criteria are... :)

My wife refuses to watch Bond movies with me anymore because they’re so goddamn long. 

It’s funny, in the post Roger Moore era, I find myself judging the Bond films much less on Bond and much more on the Bond girls (or moreso, the ability for the writers to get it right.)

Such a fucking waste of Halle Berry AND Rosemund Pike. That’s what pisses me off most about Die Another Day. 

I routinely defend the Dalton films (usually to people who didn’t ask and start slowly backing away from me.) They were good! License To Kill is great! Dalton was a physical, sexy, and funny, if sometimes overly-exasperated, Bond. I mean, yeah, ok, at one point he sledded down a mountain in a cello...but dammit The…

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.

Same.

Yikes to the ex, but know that you and your boyfriend are not alone in the “not all sunshine and rainbows.” I think literally every single one of my friends, family, and colleagues have reached the non-stop-bickering point of isolation. Just got off a catch up call with my brother— he and his wife, normally so in sync-…

Yeah, I’d like to find out more about this source and see how far they’ve leveraged their ability to nonsense-speak into a high-paid consulting grift where clients give them thousands of dollars to put these very nonsense words on to a very expensive powerpoint deck.

The leftovers of 1D should just retire. It’s already been well established that Harry is their Justin. The rest are Chris. Unless one plays a strong supporting role in a sleeper hit romcom, in which case, ok sure, he can be the Joey.

As a passionate Office fan and someone who is aggressive with cilantro in my salsa. Firmly agree. 

I love that we finally reached a point where Hating The Office has become a personality trait just as much as Loving The Office was for the past decade.

I have a 19 month old who is deeply sick of us and desperate for her tiny friends from my obscenely expensive daycare that I was on a waitlist for a year to get into and pay more than my mortgage for. I feel like she is absorbing our anxiety now, and not really sure what to do about it but try to put on a REALLY HAPPY…
