I’ve always had sort of a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that all these Bonds are along the same timeline, even as a kid (maybe harder for me because there was 20 films and therefor more to reconcile).

Yeah, but Gogol’s appearance in the Living Daylights ties Dalton in with Moore, and Moore’s leaving flowers on his wife’s grave ties him to Lazenby, who was tied to Connery since Connery sought revenge on Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever. The age and appearance makes no sense of course, but I guess that’s the consequence of a several decade long series.

Also Moore is tied to Connery in “Live and Let Die” via Quarrel Jr. and to Lazenby via comments by Anya in “The Spy Who Loved Me” about Bond’s tragic marriage. Dalton is also connected to Lazenby to yet another comment about Bond’s deceased wife by Moore’s Felix Lighter from “Live and Let Die”. Lazenby is very heavily connected to Connery via Bond’s nostalgic desk emptying scene in OHMSS.

Absolutely. There’s about a million little connections between them all until Craig. What’s there in favor of a codename theory? A joke about how “this never happened to the other fella”.

Batman V Superman - C+

As a self-reward for finishing my exams, I went ahead and watched the OT and TFA, which I haven’t done in ages. I must say it was a satisfying experience.

Star Wars (1977) - 9/10

Classic. It doesn’t have the best story or script in the world, but it does a great job at being a fun, sci-fi epic.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - 9/10

Excellent follow up which manages to be even better than the original. Very innovative and has great characters, all of which play off each other brilliantly.

Return of the Jedi (1983) - 7/10

While sadly not nearly as good as the first two, this film still manages to be a very fun film. I don’t like the fact that Harrison and Carrie utterly phoned it in, nor the clashing tone throughout.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) - 7/10

A return to form for the franchise, full of fun characters and great action. I have no idea how anyone could possibly find any of the prequels superior to this.

I agree pretty much word-for-word.

I blame the filthy Millennials, who as we all know, don’t understand anything but anime.

No wonder they love the PT. Angsty emotional outbursts and everyone’s feelings are written all over their face.

Toss in a couple of those forehead X things and some huge sweat droplets and we’ve successfully made the PT an anime.

Hey now, take that weeaboo trash to the Fan-Edit subforum.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) - 4/10

It really doesn’t hold up as well as it did when I was nine. The main character is an unlikable prick and it looks like a made-for-TV production.

The World’s End.

Completely brilliant, with probably one of the greatest movie twists I’ve ever seen. Definitely my fwvorite of the Cornetto’s three flavours ice cream trilogy.

The thought of someone being nine years old in 2010 reminds me of how I’m elderly person.

That’s funny, I felt that it was the weakest entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Ugh tell me about it. I was pretty sure people stopped being born around 1992.

Some may have been born in 1993 but definitely not after Dazed and Confused came out.

The Hateful Eight 8.5/10

Finally got around to checking this out, it wasn’t showing at my local theater and I was in no mood to see TFA three times as well as The Revenant once in the same month. Beautiful cinematography and amazing acting came together here but the film is actually missing most of the Tarantino-isms. Check it out!

Serenity (2005) – B

I watched through Firefly over the past several days and I just got to the movie. I liked it a lot.

One overpowering notion that I’ve had is that it felt like the plot was kind of rushed to squish it into a feature film (as there was no more series for them to finish the story). There wasn’t as much explanation for certain things that I was hoping for either.

Anyway, I enjoyed it, and I think it was an alright tie-up to the series.

How I rate movies:

If I like it: 5/5

If I don’t like it, I don’t rate it.

Don’t have time to go in depth with these, but I watched a few Connery Bond films.

Dr No (1962) - 6/10

From Russia with Love (1963) - 6/10

Goldfinger (1964) - 7/10

Edited because I completely forgot about Connery’s charming performance in both of them, which pushes the films to above average.

Bourne Identity
