Yes but - Olga Kurylenko. Really makes you think.

I assume the Connery turned it down because he's a shit.

His dark jacket and brilliant white jeans combo during the Haiti scenes are exceptionally well chosen for him. He looks cool as hell and absolutely lethal with it.

Same, went with my mum and we both absolutely loved it,
That pre credits sequence is just brilliant Campbell directs the fuck out of it but it's never showily directed just precise and badass. I do wonder why he's got such a spotty record.

Children Of Men but this is a very very close second.

it'll be my house on a friday evening?

"I'm fully against the militarization of the police and its
disproportionate incarceration of young black men. I fully support
reparations for African-Americans. But I also think the uproar over
this show is a nothingburger that will not make one degree of difference
to any of those issues."

The foot chase is just the purest cinema. It's this beautiful look at the human body at it's peak moving through space. Just wonderful even devoid of the film's context.

It's ambivalent when it should be actually, you know reflective of facts and the political situation which is that the US tortured it's way to nothing then killed nothing but, by that time, a symbol. It was the most pyrrhic of victories and the film can't even acknowledge that without hinting that maybe it was worth…

Nah, it's a line that perfectly captures the character who is always aiming to be something he isn't.

In the books the "love" is just horrific pathological narcissism, but as ever DnB reduce and flatten and flee from nuance.

Indeed but websites like the AVC are pro obsessive fandom (when it's for the right properties) so they can't really use that criticism.

The first question is - why do you think I'm defending it? Have a reread of what I'm responding to and what that was a response to first. It should help.

Haha oh shit I had no idea he'd done one but of fucking course he's done one. Ugh.

ooof, it's not that bad and isn't taking a ludicrously patrician moralistic tone so calling it a FCH piece is a little harsh.

Insight isn't close to gaining a political ideology. And any insight people gain is going to be filtered and refracted and critiqued by all the other things they've read and learned. Sure if you've never read or learned anything other than popculture then popculture would be the driving force of your worldview but…

There's always been the odd Tipper Gore amongst liberals who thinks pop culture makes people violent or sexist or bigoted in some other way but it always used to be conservatives majority who held that position. It changed rapidly over the last 6 years to be the other way round and I'm still not sure why or what…

You've been listening to me talk to your mum again. Tut tut give her some privacy.

Why would I get anything else out of the excerpt?

And none of that is demonstrated in the quote above. But thanks.
