DAF, good lord that’s a Bond film that has not aged well, you can almost see Connery checking and double checking his bank account during the entire movie to make sure that Cubbies checks didn’t bounce.

Savalas is also the best Blofeld, IMHO, his overexposure as Kojack in the 70's makes one forget how good of a character actor he was playing villains and side-kicks in the 60's.

“On Her Majesties Secret Service” stands on it’s own as well, even overcoming Lazenby’s Mattel plastic toy version of Bond.

Let’s not get all teary eyed and celebrative yet.

Although the book was published in 1981, Crowe’s undercover high-school year was in 1979, long before AIDs and Reagan came to dominate American culture.

Those flashbacks were likely set in the late 60's, early 70's. The Pack was pretty much irrelevant by the end of the 70s.

Shang-Chi just eclipsed the labor day BO records and is well on it’s way to earn anywhere from 350 to 500 million world-wide, so I think the death of the theatrical movie going experience for a blaockbuster is likely premature.

I have confidence in Del Toro’s ability to tell this story, hopefully the dark original ending of the novel won’t get neutered like the ending of the 1947 film version did.

Suddenly realizes that Tim Burton is involved

So basically a rip-off of Harry Potter, Sabrina and The Addams Family all wrapped up in a tidy whole.  

It was FM’s most commercial work, but given the quality of both the Peter Green and Bob Welch eras, albums like “Then Play On”, “Bare Trees” and “Future Games” are just as good as “Rumours” and certainly belay that notion that the Late 70's version of FM was the best.

House of the Dragon is expected to be released on HBO sometime in spring 2022, so I think buzz is going to be very high for all things GOT next year.

It lost me when it’s supposedly strong female hero got stuffed into the decades “pining” away for her dead boyfriend box. After WW, I thought Jenkins was much better than to be forced by the suits to make that cliched and misogynistic choice.

Watts cold get flashy if he wanted to, just listen to Moonlight Mile, Memory Hotel or Can you hear me Knockin, but even when he got flashy the backbeat was always the most important thing.

Black and Blue isn’t one of the Stones better albums, but Watts drumming, particularly on Memory Motel, is sheer perfection.

“OnlyFans” soon to be rebranded as “NoPornForFans”

There already is a comic book....err...graphic novel version of Dune.

Forward into the past!

Ah...Clem!

The writing was a little better in Whitakker’s second season but the showy ret-cons of the Doctor’s history didn’t impress me.  Count me skeptical that Chibnall can recover the mess that he’s created and I’m not unhappy to see him go.
