I'm going with the George Lazenby Bond as the worst myself. On Her Majesty's Secret Service I believe?

I also thought Thunderball kinda sucked .... I actually enjoyed Diamonds are Forever a lot.

huuuuuuuWAt!


OHMSS is the best Bond film, to this day! The best! I don't think Lazenby was the best Bond, but he was better than that skeezy perv Roger Moore, that's for fricking sure. Pat of the reason DAF is so bad is that it follows the best best film ever made, and it follows it with complete cheese. Jimmy Dean? wtf. Those overly-stereotyped "i love you henchmen" that are just tossed into the movie to toss cheap jokes at homosexuals? (admittedly, it does lead to one of my favorite Connery lines, which I often deliver to one of my gay friends: Connery is knocked out by one of them, tossed into a car trunk, and deposited in a sewer outside of town. He wakes up next to a rat and says, "It smells like a Tart's handkerchief in here." sniffs his shirt, then turns to the rat: "Oh, it's me. ...sorry about that, chat." He literally APOLOGIZES to a rat for insinuating that the rat might be a tart. ...wtf. lol)

It also has Plenty O'Toole (probably still the boobie record for all Bond girls)

P: Hi, I'm Plenty, Plenty O'Toole!
B: Named after your father, I see.

(edit, lol--forgot the censor. "I love you henchmen" is not ...I love you henchmen.)

OHMSS makes it into my top 5 Bond movies for the ending alone.


Now that I really think about it I must admit I can't recall the ending at the moment. (of course I can't remember what I had for breakfast half the time either!)





It also has Plenty O'Toole (probably still the boobie record for all Bond girls)

P: Hi, I'm Plenty, Plenty O'Toole!
B: Named after your father, I see.


Dang ... I'd forgotten Plenty O'Toole rotfl!

All-time classic although personally I would prefer Pussy Galore!

Also I recalled you posting OHMSS was your favorite Bond-movie in the past several hours after making that post so I knew I'd be hearing from you!



To be fair I have not watched that Bond-movie in at least 20 years and my opinion was based more on not liking Lazenby then the story itself.

I'm gonna give you guys the benefit of a doubt and watch it again... perhaps my perception will change considering I was like 9 years old when I last saw it!

I'd love to tell you all who is right and wrong, but I haven't seen most Bond movies since I did a marathon as a kid. So, I'm just going to say Captante is right since he's cheering on the Bills! Haha

The Newsroom is pretty fucking good but its extremely liberal, as is typical of Aaron Sorkin shows.
Unlike his previous shows they have stark lighting and the shaky cam effect which I absolutely despise.
I despise it more than an alcoholic father who beats his kids but I've gotten over that so why shouldn't I get over shaky cam on a good series?

So, I know I'm late to the party, but we just watched the entire season of Devs. Here's something I'm interested to know if anyone picked up on?

Episode 1 - When Lily and Sergei are walking towards the front door of the offices (around 4:30mins in), the first shot is of two women talking while they are walking. They wave the camera pans over to Lily and Sergei. Take notice of the blonde woman's mechanical feet. Both of them from the ankles down.

Episode 8 - They show the exact same shot of them walking in the building. This time, take a look at the blonde woman's feet. They are normal and not mechanical.

Not to spoil anything, but those who have seen it know why they changed. But I now I'm curious what the heck else they changed and wondering if anyone else noticed details that were different.

Sadly, it doesn't sound like there is a season 2. The creator said he has written 1 1/2 episodes but doesn't know if FX will want to do it. It's basically going to tell the story of another department or overall view using the same cast members. Kind of like American Horror Story. Same actors, but different roles. I doubt it will ever happen.

This show doesn't need another season. It was great as a tight, limited series.

Counterpart Seasons 1-2 - Amazon - This was good sci fi. There are only two seasons and it was not renewed, but it wraps up pretty good at the end. Season 1 sets the stage but Season 2 definitely is more dynamic and really gets into things. It's sci-fi but not space and robots and lasers sci-fi. It's a darn good yarn. The main actor apparently won an Oscar, and he is quite good. If you like sci-fi thrillers this is a good show for you. It will be binged.

i'm watching season 1 of Norsemen, a norwegian tv production in english. It's a comedy about .. uh .. about ... well, let's see if you can figure it out.

Starring this one fine piece of ass:


it's ok. Dark humor, a few laughs. Occasional naked boobies.
7/10 - come for the violence, stay for the boobies.

eh, on second thought, maybe 6.5/10
seems to shift a lot in tone, some times it's a pure comedy, other times it looks like it's game of thrones.

WandaVision. 2/10

There's only two episodes out right now, but I couldn't even get halfway through the 2nd one. Boring, slow, and not even one chuckle/laugh from any of the characters/plot. When they announced it, I looked forward to it. Reviews talk of some kind of big revelation if you can make it through the slowness of the show, but I don't think I could watch 5 more minutes.

Cobra Kai Season 3: 9/10

If you go in (1) with nostalgia from the original Karate Kid movie, (2) knowing the TV show is going to be campy, but (3) knowing they do a pretty fun job with it, you'll enjoy it. Season 3 was the best so far, can't wait for season 4!

You can't look at this show too deeply because it falls apart so quickly. Really, none of the parents went to the cops after the broken-arm incident, stealing the car wash money, etc.? The Christmas fight at Daniel's house was pretty over the top. I mean really, no one called 911? The Asian wrestler was more scared of his dad if he failed trig than KO'ing kids after breaking & entering into someone's house?

Buuuuuut if you just enjoy the show for what it is, it's pretty dang fun! Love Johnny's character growth. His interactions with technology are hilarious - "you told me the laptop was wireless!" lol. The Ali part was really well done...I was worried they were going to do a love triangle, SO glad they didn't! Whoever wrote the comedy for Season 3 had a Cobra Kai-style strike...there were parts that just immediately produced laughter lol. I loved bringing in all of the old characters from the first & second movies. Lots of nostalgic button-pushing haha!

I really liked this show. It's right up my alley of light, fun, and campy, but with heart.

I liked Devs for the vibe. I wish they took it in the direction the devs were working on inside the special building, but they switched focus. Ending wasn't bad but was kind of just okay. I wish they had done something cooler with the sort of echo-history stuff they were working on & then worked that more into the episodes. Ending be like:

Pee Wee Herman?

I only just learned today that Laurence Fishburne was a regular on Pee-Wee Herman. And that he SMILES! My parents weren't big on TV growing up, so we were mostly outside kids & I missed that whole late 80's Pee-Wee Herman show stuff. I had no idea!

The Raid (2011)

Entertaining action flick, cert 18 rating so it doesn't skimp on the action. My only criticism of it is I found it odd the way the main character didn't try to retrieve his weapons or pick up discarded weapons at every opportunity.

I wonder if 'Dredd' was inspired by this, though I'd say 'Dredd' is the better movie by a long shot.

When they announced it, I looked forward to it. Reviews talk of some kind of big revelation if you can make it through the slowness of the show, but I don't think I could watch 5 more minutes.

I think the problem is two-fold...

1. It's trying to have fun being a sort of homage to era-specific shows. For example, the second episode's opening was an obvious homage to Bewitched.
2. The show is very light on the plot points that actually matter. The first episode has one scene that tries to say "hey, something isn't right here...", and the second has a couple; however, they're sandwiched between somewhat uninteresting narratives.

I thought that season three was a lot better than season two, but the problem is that it still focuses on some of the same, CW-style drama. What makes this worse is that the basic plot with the kids is pretty much the same as season two, but with some characters shuffled around between the two sides. I also found it odd that they had a community meeting about the karate incident, but they never show any other parents.

I only watched the first episode before hockey last night, but I get a similar feeling as the rest of you regarding WandaVision. I was hoping episode 2 would be better.

Well, at least it's short (I know I'm going to stick with it for the season because I'm a Marvel sucker).

I get the feeling that we'll start focusing a bit more on the weirdness that's going on rather than feeling like 95% Bewitched and 5% Marvel. That combination just isn't very interesting unless you really want to enjoy the nostalgia of old TV shows.

That's why I wonder if the show would've done better if it wasn't released weekly. At this point, there just isn't enough... but maybe just enough interest to check out more.

I'm rewatching The Expanse. It's much better and easier to follow the 2nd time. First 3 ep aren't that good, but it gets better and better as it goes. Just finished s02e05 "Home" and it was some great sci-fi in there. 8/10 for 1st season, 9/10 for 2nd so far.

I'd rate last episode s05e07 a 6.5/10, worst of the season imo. Too much Naomi family drama for my taste. It's saving grace were 2 scenes you don't want to miss.

I don't know about the second episode, but the first was Dick Van ***, not Bewitched.
