Because the audience has long ago dispensed with these notions. The Bourne movies, along with other spy films, the Austin Powers series (which lampooned the silliness of the Roger Moore-era Bond and other spy series of that time), as well as the reality of the world in which we live (with NSA and mass surveillance)…

It’s not about physical impossibility. It is about the emotional, psychological, and intellectual reality (within the context of a fictional character and a work of fiction) to abandon what you have long done and only know. If you remember the entire arch of the entire Captain America series (in MCU), Cap is a guy…

The last thing I want is old Bond. Dull, outdated, and honestly, uninteresting when it was fresh and new. The new Bond as initially set out by Craig in his first three films was interesting and fresh. They need to continue that with someone equally suited to be Her Majesty’s Killer.

Sorry. Like Hiddleston as Loki. But as Bond? Not as long as Idris is waiting in the wings. Time for the black James Bond.

He understands. It’s just that you both have different values when it comes to television shows. That’s neither good nor bad. Just different.

But how do you retire from being what you’ve always been, especially when that is the only thing that allows you to deal with a world that is alien to you? In the case of Cap, being a soldier is the only thing he has after being woken up after seven decades of being frozen, friends having died, and the world he knew…

I’m from New York and live on two-thirds of an acre in Maryland; my in-laws own five acres of land in the Ozarks. It’s actually easier to maintain three or more acres than less. This is because in most cases, the acreage is mostly occupied by trees that rarely need much in the way of tending. You end up focusing on…

As a Washington fan, I wished Kelly stayed around for a while longer. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

The comment of the week!

Katie Nolan is also hot. Which makes whatever shittiness in personality extremely tolerable.

At least it was Bayless. At the auto shop I take my cars to, I get Fox and Friends. Now that is misfortune.

It wouldn’t be whitewashing. But it would be giving the role of a character of some clearly-defined ethnic and cultural background (British/Scottish, white, child of the upper crust) to someone who clearly doesn’t have any of those characteristics (other than being British). So, by the rules you want to set, Idris…

I’d hit it. She’s a natural woman. Like most. With all the imperfections of them. You would know this if you actually had sex with women.

Cash equals sex. And Woz has lots of cash.

I hate, hate, hate the Yankees. So I will root for A-Rod to do anything that makes life for Hank and Company a little more miserable.

Jason Campbell did a decent job at quarterback for the Raiders once he left the Redskins. The problem for any quarterback at this stage, especially for a read-option guy like RGIII, is that the early years of training and development have passed. If Griffin spent time under a strong quarterbacks coach and in a stable,…

The lesson for everyone is this: Don’t talk about how you spend your own money. It’s no one’s business in the first place, raises questions about (and attention to) a matter no one should know about anyway, and just comes off as bragging. You shouldn’t be shocked when you talk about having $30 lunches — especially…

The Browns: What the Clippers used to be for NBA players.

I would agree. Reid knows how to develop quarterbacks and make them play well enough to get a team into the playoffs. And RGIII has enough skill to do that. Whatever happens, RGIII should stay far far away from Cleveland and its steamers.
