I actually liked her character on the show.

I read all the Fleming Bonds, and at least one other Fleming too (I think a travelogue?). I don’t remember THE N-word being in the Bond books. Maybe I’m mistaken and it’s in dialogue, someone used the word around Bond?
I believe I remember an N-word: “negro”. Is that the one they’re replacing?

Agree on the spoilers. This list reminded me that I’ve always wanted to see The Grey. I assumed I could trust this listicle to tell me how it’s good, without ruining the plot.

Ice Cube said in an interview that he did Anaconda because he got to kill the snake. I love love that after he embeds the axe head into its head, and it slips back into the water dead, Cube says:

I love Jenny Slate (because of Gifted), and I loved this movie. I’m embarrassed that I had no idea she was in it.

I do live in a place with a whole lot of racists, though, so I’m very familiar with the big nose and Jewish thing.

Was annoyed by the existence of this slide show, just one day after the Tom Hanks one. But goddam if this isn’t a pretty decent list.

Y’know, for that matter, Hanks was really good in That Thing You Do (1996).
Supporting actor rather than lead, so I guess it doesn’t count; plus he directed, so that makes it weird to rank. But he’s much less affable in that role than usual; comes across as a sharp who might screw you over. Very different for him, and…

Conspicuous by its absence:
Nothing In Common (1986)

Old guy story!

Listen to Beethoven is such a great track.

American Werewolf in London is wonderful. Seriously underrated: it’s a gem. I wouldn’t necessarily call it horror.  It doesn’t strive for horror impacts. Its horror aspects are undermined with comedy. What it really is, is tragedy. Enough comedy to make the tragedy land that much more accurately. Beautifully done.

Trying too hard to have a contrarian take. Nobody loved Living Daylights more than I did when it came out, but Craig > Dalton, and Casino >>>>

The hand-to-hand fights in the first Craig movies basically make you think you’re watching The Bond Identity.

Am I the only one who loves the pathos of Bond disarming the nuclear weapon while wearing a clown suit in Octopussy? That never strikes me as ridiculous at all. The desperation in that scene always wins me over.

There’s a trope in the Bond movies that I always enjoy, I don’t know what to call it, but it goes something like, “It’s all fun & games until you try to get serious, then he will fucking kill you.” Maybe some examples will get it across.

I’ve skimmed the comments and added a couple replies here-&-there; here’s one overall comment on the slides. I’m going to try to claim some old-man cred: I saw my first of these when my parents took me to see Live And Let Die in the theater. I thought my dad was just so fucking cool when he said to the girl at the…

I remain boggled at the praise “Skyfall” received. For me it will always be The One Where James Bond Has Daddy Issues. The finale is warmed-over “Home Alone.” And Bond has one job—protect M—and fails miserably.

Agree with all of this ( Uselessbeauty, Erikfishfishfish). Tomorrow Never Dies is the best Bond film in the 25-yr stretch between 1981 and 2006. It’s by far the best BrosBond. Goldeneye is wildly uneven, and the later ones are silly.

Daniel Craig’s Bond films are so clearly responding to the success of the Bourne films that they might as well end with “Extreme Ways”.
