The brutal fight at the end between Sean Bean and Brosnan is the best Bond vs main villain fight in all Bond movies

I'm with the camp that thinks Tomorrow Never Dies is a better movie than [Goldeneye]

since Casino Royale, everything seems filtered through the consciousness of a middle-aged Italian woman who doesn't speak English very well, doesn't like England much and has seen the Bourne films.

Note the use of the On Her Majesty's Secret Service theme around 1:15 and again at 1:45

On #4, the artist, Bob Hall, couldn't remember the exact details of the plot he had worked from, but he thought Jim's version of what happened was probably correct.

It's possible Shooter is trying to minimize his culpability, but …

Shooter claims he wanted Bob hall to draw Hank pushing Jan away but Hall drew it as a backhand slap. I find this hard to believe.

Peter Parker once punched Mary-Jane across the room

One of the great mid-century Civil War historians, I think it was Allen Nevins, had an essay on Gone With The Wind's frankly evil distortions of history. The essay was awesome.

It's about shying away from even remotely trying to depict the grotesque horrors that went on there, because the movie would have been much harder to take if he did. Believe it or not, piles of dead bodies is nothing in this context.

but everything that comes afterwards is horrific.

We could add The Terminal, 1941, Amistad, The Adventures of Tintin, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and more. Spielberg is overrated

What was so horrific about the Holocaust wasn't that…

E.T., Jaws, and Close Encounters can't hold a candle to Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and Goodfellas.

Kubrick was right when he said “you think that was about the Holocaust? That was about success, wasn’t it? The Holocaust is about 6 million people who get killed. Schindler’s List is about 600 who don’t".

DK definitely got my attention, but on further viewing it was entirely because of Heath Ledger's performance.

Prestige is not perfect, but the chilling ending delivered in spades

Interstellar is a future sci-fi classic. Film geeks are going to look back and …

Agreed. Almost any scene without Heath Ledger in it is turgid and leaden – I say "almost" because Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are on screen sometimes, and they are always watchable.

I think Nolan has only made one great film, Memento. He has made a number of very ambitious but flawed films
