Sonny Corleone

I’d be more scared of Wonder Woman. She was in the IDF for crying out loud! 

Was Ben Braddock from The Graduate Jewish?

I dunno. I see a lot of parallels with Game of Thrones (not least in the filming locations)

Bond Club: Turns out James Bond has been a figment of Q’s imagination this whole time. The damage, destruction and rampant womanising however was all real. 

I know, right!? That’s why I can’t escape all these endless articles and arguments over whose going to play the next Jason Bourne! Is it going to be Idris Elba? Hugh Jackman?Should it be a woman?

I could not agree more! While some movies (Apocalypse Now, Heat, Godfather etc) are worthy of the 2-3hr mark, it just feels bloated for 90% of movies. Especially popcorn fare like Bond films and comedies!

That’s really more Famke Janssen’s thing. 

I loved it when it came out as I was heavily into Hong Kong cinema* in my teens back in the 90’s but you could never see any of it on the big screen. I’d also always loved Bond films and anything with good practical effects and legit, spectacular stuntwork so TND was a match made in heaven.

I’d add in that with the casting of Michelle Yeoh and her awesome elaborately choreographed fight scenes, ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ was a fairly obvious attempt to cash-in on Jackie Chan’s resurgence in the 90’s.

While I’m in agreement with everyone that the further we dive into season 2, the more and more it appears that the plotting has been devised by a writing room full of headless chickens, I’m personally still of the view that a good sitcom really only has to achieve one thing and that’s to make me laugh.

Kinja’s general awfulness only posted your first paragraph in my notifications which was a bit triggering. Glad I scrolled through the hundreds of comments to find the rest of it.

Loved Lazlo’s lamp-shading of the fact it’s still supposed to be a fly-on-the-wall documentary with his “Previously on…” bit at the start

Yeah there has to be some sneaky ulterior motive as the plan makes no sense. Under the current system, buying a team like Raja Casablanca and turning them into Man City or PSG is practically impossible.

I had Rocky Mountain Oysters when I was in Colorado a few years back. They’re proof that anything can be delicious when you deep-fry it in batter. 

It’s an almost comical attempt to try and generate outrage.

What with Iron Man, Captain America and Peter Parker all being re-voiced in previous episodes, I can’t help but notice that there’s now a puzzling trend of male leads from the MCU not showing up on What If…?

I’m sorry but T’Challa’s basically Prince William. He’s earned fuck all!

If the sole qualification for this award is that the artist has to be from Latin America, does that mean we can look forward to the likes of Sepultura winning at some point? 

It’s certainly a special place that holds a lot of fond memories! ;-)
