Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Director’s Cut)
Weird two-second continuity mistake towards the beginning, but other than that it’s really great. The new transfer of both cuts is fantastic (the cool-blue look is gone!)
A+

Let’s hope they get the other 5 out soon.

Toy Story 2 is better than a “kids film.”
Even further, Toy Story 3 is a damned emotional raping.
Honestly I’ve never sat down and watched 3 all the way through for some reason. My girls have watched it several times so I have seen parts here and there.
I really should take the time to watch it.
Just make sure that there isn’t any catshit in your house you’ve been too lazy to clean up, or you might end up just seeing it as a scrappy cash-in sequel.
Well, it is. And I don’t think any cat poo was on the floor of my basement the last time I watched either of those films. I’m sure there was some in my cat’s litter box, though.

Super dark.
The Toys are revealed to suffer the eternal torment of the Damned Immortal Vampires.
Everyone they love will die (or just grow up), leaving them doomed only to wander the earth in search of new companionship while joylessly avoiding the hellfire of impending destruction, which licks at their heels from every angle.
Love it!

What I’m getting at is don’t live your life with catshit on the floor. Have some pride.

I don’t live in the basement. I never even go in the basement with exceptions being few and far between. The cat poo on the basement floor isn’t my problem either. I live in a house of seven people, and only three of them are in any way responsible for the cat and his droppings. The poo isn’t having a great affect on me, so I really don’t care that much.

If you say so.
How could anyone sleep at night knowing there’s shit of any kind on the floor of any room in their house?

I would say “Licence to Kill (1989)” It’s got a vibe so removed from the others before it.
I watched From Russia With Love yesterday, and I had a recommendation to watch OHMSS so after that I’ll definitely watch Licence to Kill.

Or knowing they’re the only one in the known universe who didn’t like Toy Story 2 or 3.

Well, that’s not true.
And are you guys saying I should personally clean up a mess that I’m not responsible for just to clear my conscience?

You should get used to it now if you plan on being a parent.

At the very least demand those that are responsible do it.
Good luck with that though I know my cat wouldn’t.
But she also wouldn’t shit on the floor, so I don’t have the answers.

I’m saying you should personally clean up a mess that you’re not responsible for just so you can understand Toy Story 2 and 3.

I’m sure I’ll adapt well 😉.

I felt like watching a film from the original timeline.
Fair enough, though I feel “timeline” and continuity in general mean very little in this series.
Well Craig uses some gadgets which he aquired in previous movies.
So yeah, as far as we know, the bond movies are one linear timeline.
Eh, not at all. Casino Royale was clearly a reboot. He wasn’t even a double-0 at the beginning. There’s certainly continuity within the Connery films, within the Brosnan films, within the Craig films. But no sense of continuity between these eras in the series.
I tend to think each time there’s a new Bond it’s a reboot. Some are just softer reboots than others.

Sure, but ever since I was a child I’ve always liked thinking that the first 20 films are all part of one singular timeline.
EDIT: I guess there weren’t 20 yet when I first started thinking this, but you know what I meant.
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).
How could anyone sleep at night knowing there’s shit of any kind on the floor of any room in their house?
Believe me, there are entire segments of our society where leaving shit on the floor in perfectly normal. It’s sad, but true. I’ve been in these peoples houses, and it ain’t just in the “bad neighborhoods” either. I’ve been in million dollar mansions where the floor was encrusted with crap dating back to the 90’s.

I’m guessing they were brick shithouses.
From Russia With Love it is!
I quite like On Her Majesties Silver Service .

Definitely underrated. Spectre evoked some imagery from Majesty during the clinic sequences and I quite enjoyed it.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

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.

“Silent Night, Deadly Night” (1984).
It’s fun sometimes to watch a festive movie in the summertime so I took Netflix up on their recommendation.
I thought the pacing was good, it took its time and set everything up nicely. It had a bit with a wonderfully batty old man in a mental hospital. It had a fabulous scene where a little kid punches out Santa. It had some genuinely legitimate things to say about abuse and post traumatic stress.
But the plot was “Halloween”, almost a carbon copy! Except that instead of Michael Myers we have a man killing people dressed as Father Christmas and they literally just replaced Donald Pleasance with a frowning nun.
But then again, there’s something rather fun about watching a deranged lunatic killing everybody he encounters whilst screaming, “NAUGHTY!”
It’s derivative, stupid, ultimately cynical and shows a somewhat worrying interest in coupling sex with violence and then dwelling too long on that violence - but at least it’s trying to say something about something.
I give it 4 bloody axes out of 10.

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.
