*Letitias Wright and Robs Schneider

Jake was hoping to tapp’er.

Live and Let Die is begging for a remake. The drug plot especially, in light of Breaking Bad, Narcos and Ozark, could be an interesting take.

Just don’t do the redneck sheriff. Or the virgin losing her powers after getting fucked. Or the bad guy BLOWING UP!!!!

A big issue with Craig’s run is that the writers learned the wrong lesson from Casino Royale: it doesn’t always have to be personal to be interesting.

I’d say Batman Begins is a better but less ambitious movie than TDK. TDK’s really good, and its highs are great, but it’s not as wall-to-wall consistent as Begins. 

I found it funny that it was trying to be like the Vin Diesel “James Bond + X Games” flick “xXx,” but that same year, “The Bourne Identity” came out and made them both look lame. 

Octopussy? This was a serious stretch on the slideshow’s part, tying that to Indiana Jones. But that’s a fun movie.

The plot of a Bond movie is pretty incidental. It's mostly about style. I think the mistake of the Craig years was in trying to get dark and gritty. Casino Royale mostly avoided this and is the best of the bunch for that reason. Bond should be going to exotic locales and meeting exotic women. He should face peril, but…

Also, extreme sports Bond surfing into North Korea!

Frozen: Bond’s emotional detachment is due to his older sister not wanting to make a snowman with him as a child. But it turns out that said sister has ice powers that she was taught to be afraid and ashamed of!

Can we get a “10,000 times movies chased Bond” write up as well.

I’d add in that with the casting of Michelle Yeoh and her awesome elaborately choreographed fight scenes, ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ was a fairly obvious attempt to cash-in on Jackie Chan’s resurgence in the 90’s.

Oh, we’re just begging for stars now?  (It worked.)

It is remarkable that Ted, who had a hugely memorable speech about “curiosity” last year during the darts scene, has been manager of this team for 2 years and has managed to apparently learn nothing at all about the sport.

I don’t think the billionaire from Ghana is a fake, but he’s definitely hiding something from Sam and everyone else. I feel like he’s legitimately interested in raising the profile of soccer in Africa and bringing Sam in for that reason, but I think Rupert still has something to do with this.

Nate is the hero of season 2, Ted Lasso should be fired for being a horrifically bad coach, and Nate should get his job.

Also, I think this episode really cemented how low Nate’s self esteem is. And rightly so. Even though he is a team coach, he is not really taken seriously by anyone.

I didn’t really read the Ms. Bowen/Jamie thing as the show setting up love triangles.

I actually found the stories in this episode to work quite well, at least in isolation. Because even in re-watching season two, there are a lot of things that aren’t unmotivated or unfounded, but they are often missing connective tissue. Yet, I was still swept up in each character thread as it unfolded, rather than…

I remember enjoying the Step By Step episode at Disney World. Or, at least, the subplot where one guy’s trying to beat the world record for visiting every attraction in the park within three days.
