I love VI but I think I get where you’re coming from. Kirk suddenly turns into a bigot and remembers he had a son for plot purposes. I do like that he at least isn’t the Gary Stu he was in V and is in the wrong for once, but there wasn’t much build up to it. 

TND has an amazing opening. Title is stupid as hell though. Original title was Tomorrow Never Lies

I can see your point, I still love IV as a weird anomaly but it definitely has many threads to pull. V while not great isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I think I feel saltier about First Contact for the same reasons you dislike IV. And I generally hate when all the main characters pee on the Temporal Prime

It just hits all those 80's high notes. I really loved the partner he had in that film too, and early Benicio Del Toro, and the televangelist played by Wayne Newton

Yeah it’s really only good for the opening. Also had the worst Bond Girl 

When they let Moore be serious he nailed it.

Yeah I enjoy it as a Home Alone-type film (another classic film which has flawed logic) rather than a Bond movie 

From Russia with Love might be my favorite Connery Bond film, it’s just so much more toned down and more about the espionage than the gadgets and ‘splosions 

Skyfall is a fun Home Alone knockoff, but definitely a bit nonsensical. Especially Javier Bardem’s Joker strategy. It’s kind of hilarious how much Bond rips other films off. 

That’s all I really want- we got the great ones from Craig (Casino, Skyfall) and the really bad one (Quantum) and a mediocre one (Spectre) but a solid middle ground one that’s at least rewatchable would be fine by me 

Is Kenan ever going to leave? Not that he isn’t great to have around it’s just...people usually move on from the show....

I’m hearing so many people say it looks too close to the anime, that it’s going to just be a carbon copy. This is after the endless complaints about all the other ones being different. 

Then Mayor of NYC, then mayor of Mooseport, then UN Secretary General, then Admiral of Starfleet! 

She still pulls the Overton window much further left than even Bernie, so that’s always a good thing. But gotta keep the ball rolling and see who will move even her further left. 

My best friend’s wife is a....middlennial? has a good job and loves all things Broadway and she earnestly loves this. I want to sneer at her for being an urban white woman who loves Pinterest and “in this house we believe *centrist liberal stuff*” signs , but she’s an earnest and nice person, and who the fuck am I?

Yeah, at that moment they don’t know he “was friends” with him so there’s no reason to assume familiarity 

“The other thing with the Cuomos is you have to cancel their families, when you get these Cuomos, you have to cancel their families. They care about their lives, don’t kid yourself. When they say they don’t care about their lives, you have to cancel their families,”

Well who could’ve seen THAT coming?!

I’m glad this never happened. Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes have never been ruined by some sort of adaptation or cheap merchandising 

Charles Martinet only did the Italian voice because it sounded less gruff than a Brooklyn accent and he figured it would work better for kids
