I'd take Snipe Woodcock as a spy name

Also, I'M OUT!

I'm out!

Apparently, Fleming wanted the most boring name he could find and stole it from an author of books on birdwatching

"No, Vladimir, you're not wrong-you're just an asshole."

I think he knew better than anyone. Creating a funny, outgoing persona that everyone loves is a defence mechanism that'll ultimately lead to you feeling insecure and unfulfilled, because everyone only likes the 'funny' version of you.

I think the reason Pitt is always eating food in films is that it makes him look effortlessly cool and casual, rather than being any sort of misguided attempt at egalitarianism.

Definitely true. David Wong gave some interesting insights on that:

One thing I always admired about Robin Williams was his versatility. Where thousands of hack critics and unkind parodies portray him as nothing but a hyperactive, scene-munching annoyance, he could play small or even sinister just as well as he could do funny (and he could definitely do funny). Watch Insomnia or One…

Show me a great actor who has never made a bad movie, and I'll show you James Dean-and he only made three in total. Every Hollywood actor puts out a load of crap for a paycheck. De Niro has like three terrible franchises to his name ("Their last name is Focker! Geddit?!"). Orson Wells' last appearance in a movie was…

Brit comedian Jason Manford used that in his obituary for RW too. Great minds…

"And I thought me and Qui Gonn Jin
Could talk the Federation in to
Maybe cutting them a little slack

LCD Soundsystem-"Daft Punk is playing at my house"
CSS-"Let's make love and listen to Death from Above"
Kanye West-"Otis"
A**l C**t -"Living Colour is my favourite black metal band" (for sophomoric pun value)
Sonic Youth-"Hey Joni"
The Wombats-"Let's dance to Joy Division"
R.E.M. "The Wake Up Bomb" (Oasis)

I think Shine On You Crazy Diamond was the (main) one written for Syd

The Clash had like 15 songs in which they name check themselves, and you had to pick the absolute worst one (possibly intentionally, but still). "Radio Clash" would've been way better ("This is radio clash tearing up the seven veils; This is radio clash please save us, not the whales"), or even "Clash City Rockers" or…

Loki's motivations were interesting? As far as I could tell, his motivation was little more than 'Waaaaah, my brother is the starting quarterback of superheroes and I'm a whiny little emo kid who gets put in his own locker all the time, get me my giant phallic space worms so I can attack the earth."

I fully agree. He was half the reason for The Avengers being terrible. His Loki-admittedly due to bad writing as well as bad acting-is more of a tantrum-throwing ten year old who needs a nap than a believable villain. Say what you will about Tom Hardy's Bane but at least he was menacing.

In the words of John Cleese: "You're a very silly person and I'm not going to debate you".

Yeah, and so has every Libertarian gun nut I've met in the last three years

Yeah, I have. Like 99% of modern war movies, the message is supposedly about war being hell but it still ends up appealing to the gun nut crowd. I've never met a gun owner without a Full Metal Jacket poster in their house, and in twenty years it'll be a Gen Kill poster.
