I'm not going to pick and choose. But solid, solid stuff..especially after Die Another Day was Batman and Robin levels.
Totally agree. It still upsets me that Bronson got such shit movies
Casino Royale was a steaming pile of turd. It commits entirely to a poker tournament, and then features some of the worst poker playing and clichés I've ever seen. Every raise is "double it," Bond plays like a huge donkey and wins anyway, the last hand setup is so obvious and stupid and so far out of the realm of reality and then Bond has the gall to slow roll the fucking straight flush, ugggghhh
Skyfall was ok.
Skyfall was ok.
On the other hand something that I had no expectations for that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Transformers Devastation the video game.
This game is the real. The graphics, gameplay, music and just complete and total faithfulness to the orginal TV series including the voice acting is outstanding. I almost had to fight man man tires when I first battled Soundwave as a boss. The nostalgia hit me super hard.

I'm rising above what WrassleGAF descended into over the weekend and saying, "No."

I might have to add wXw Shotgun into my rotation since 1) there is supposedly an English commentary track featuring Alan4L now and 2) wXw has finally chosen a different camera angle than the high corner angle I used to see in in the 16 Karat shows, which I hated.
basically Bayley and Becky are the new face of racism, and no it's not just because I don't like them, that's really what happened

Which is why I figured Elgin would be an ideal opponent for Ishii, Elgin is an outsider with a hard-hitting style perfect for the NEVER title. Plus he has a match with Ishii in February for ROH, you might as well make that a title match too.

On the plus side, the Euro-centric #RawAlternative has turned me back on to wXw, and the PROGRESS sale has me subscribed there for at least a month. What a time to not watch WWE and enjoy pro wrestling.
I'm with you on that. Dude had the potential to be the best Bond but was booked horribly after the awesome Goldeneye.
Carnies until the very end, brother.Well...

TNA is undead. We're just waiting for someone to finally shoot it in it's head.
You mean, they might actually be moving out of the Full Sail Zone?
It was only a matter of time.

I played through the intro business. Got to the open world. Started up Mad Max. Haven't had the urge to go back to Fallout. I don't feel the pull, but I'll eventually give it some time and I'm sure I'll get into it.
Tna is the ben carson of wrestling promotion , no matter how many times they fuck up they will find a way.
So now that I finished Transformers Devastation, I rented Black Ops III. The only thing I care about in Call of Duty games is story mode. Anyhow, the gameplay sure has gotten a bit more complicated. Don't know how I feel about it. Game looks great though.
I'll probbaly rent Star Wars next.

It's fun, but I wish the powers path was less complicated, and I'm not a huge fan of the campaign loadout unlock stuff either. I'm eventually going to have 3 wheels of powers to cycle through, it's super clunky.
that's an interesting way to describe the best bond movie

More ICW stuff out of last night, they've already announced next years Fear & Loathing:
Jeeezus. I'd say they're going to struggle with that one, but I said that about Sunday as well. UFC did 10,500 there a few months back.

Skyfall was boring. Whoever referenced the fact that it had the same "villain wants to get captured as part of the SUPER MASTER PLAN!" nonsense as some other bad movies that year was right.
Best part of the movie was the midnight blue tuxedo.
Casino Royale was awesome... though it would have been so much better with Brosnan being a handsome, suave, witty son of a bitch instead of Craig's neanderthal-in-a-tux Bond.

I was doing some yardwork and raked a pile of leaves out from under a big bundle of ivy that I was cutting back, and I saw something moving in there. I jumped back and waited, and it kept thrashing around. After a minute or so, I got closer to inspect. It was a lizard tail. I wonder if I cut it off or if he dropped it off to get away? I didn't touch it to see how much of the lizard was missing, but still... I don't want to hurt the lizards, they eat all the horrible bugs out there.
Based on IMDB, Skyfall ranks the same as Goldfinger. And the only one that ranks higher than that is Casino Royale.
"IMDB is bullshit blah blah blah"
But that is the overall consensus. Yeah some shit will be overrated/underrated based on personal opinion. To me they deserve the praise.
edit: Skyfall also has the best theme in this series. The one for Spectre was ok. I didn't like the previous two.

You said your white car is blacker than The Rock, who's half Black, and shocked at the reaction you got?
Casino Royale, Skyfall and Goldeneye are the holy trinity of Bond films.
Goldeneye is indeed excellent. Even the intro is fucking awesome.

IMDB is the worst when it comes to new films, people have zero objectivity and are largely incapable of rating a film in context. That's why shit like Inception is so high in the top 250, 14th best film ever made? Give me a break.
Bond's all about nostalgia, but it also has to move with the times, which often puts it at odds with what the fans desire. None of the Daniel Craig Bond films have felt right to me, they're not bad films as such, but they don't feel like Bond to me because they're not what I grew up with. So when they try and be like classic Bond it just feels insincere, when what they should be doing is taking Bond in new directions, the traditions and trappings of the series be damned! That's why Dalton's Bond felt so fresh at the time, it wasn't trying so hard to be a Bond film.

Connery > Brosnan > Craig
Brosnan is so good that he's literally the only thing that holds the post-Goldeneye shitshow together. I'd argue that Craig's films would be massively enhanced if you put other Bond actors in the role.
The poker scene just ruined it for me, they blew an opportunity to tell a great story and it was the damn climax of the film. The rest of the movie was pretty forgettable.
Bond movies kind of suck in general, come to think of it
Brosnan's Bond was a joke character, he's on par with Clooney's batman
or with Daniel Bryan as a WWE champ
