Diamonds Are Forever - I love it!

I watched that for the first time today.

Diamonds Are Forever (1971) - 6/10

I really enjoyed the action in this film, and the production values were fantastic. I especially liked how much the editing had improved since Thunderball, and the lack of jump cuts compared to that film. The plot, like most Bond films, was pretty stupid, and the villain wasn’t very threatening. Tiffany Case was terrible, completely useless, even Tatiana Romonova had the honour of killing Klebb, Case didn’t do anything. I thought Connery was just okay, and pretty visibly disinterested throughout, but I enjoyed the film anyway.

Wow. People actually liked this film when it was first release. It’s crazy comparing these reviews to the ones we see on this site nowadays. What did you think of the film when you first saw it?

I don’t like Superman: The Movie either.

Pushing aside all my issues with Clark’s characterization, I still hate everything pertaining to Luthor, Otis, and that dumbass ending.

It’s baffling that it’s a 4 stars on RogerEbert.com. Man of Steel is leaps and bounds ahead of the first superman.

If you don’t like the first Donner Superman, that’s fine. But saying Man of Steel is better? 'Em is fighting words!

Man of steel is more pretentious, has horrible over the top acting, and no characterization whatsoever (surprisingly enough) all IMO

FTFY

Somebody thought it would be funny to post sh*t and flood off topic overnight. They won’t be laughing when Jay calls their parents and details their online activities.

Oh how I would love to hear that call!

“DuracellEngineer”

I hate Scheißegurke. He makes me long for another Hansi thread.

Black Dynamite (2009) - 7/10

It was very hilarious and insanely quotable, though after a while the premise wore a little thin and I began to think this may work better as a fake trailer or a short film.

White and Nerdy (“Weird Al” Yankovic)

Hilarious, even by “Weird Al” standards.

I thought Reloaded was pretty great, actually. Revolutions is where it all fell apart.

I think they’re more or less on par. I think I’d rather watch Revolutions because it’s at least sort of fun. Reloaded is one of the dullest films I’ve ever seen.

That’s crazy. I think you have the two movies mixed up. The biggest sin of Revolutions is that most everything outside of the Matrix is boring, and almost the whole movie takes place outside of the Matrix.

I actually think that up until Neo escapes from Mobil Ave, the film is pretty good, but it all goes downhill from there. Both Reloaded and Revolutions suck.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) seems to get pretty positive reviews, but I really don’t like it. Boring characters and overlong pretentious conversations make it an extremely tedious watch, and everything on Zion is the worst. I’d give it a four out of ten.

I don’t hate those anymore. They’re maybe a step above mediocre. I’d give them both a six out of ten now.

Firstly, it’s cheesy and I can’t take it seriously at all (much like the whole film), and also, it’s not like James Bond is a celebrity, and M16 is an undercover organisation. It would only humiliate Bond to the M16, and they know how many women he beds anyway. It would make practically no difference to Bond or M16.

It actually would in the early 1960s. If an agent were caught on film with a Russian woman and then committed suicide after murdering her MI6 would’ve been embarrassed globally.

Ah okay then, thanks for clarifying. No I’m not being sarcastic.

The one with a bunch of numbers, Ghibli, OcarinaofTime, something with a picture of Mario as the avatar, Something Something, IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer, and then something with the rancor as his avatar.

That makes seven; I had forgotten about Something Something.

Oh yeah, his troll account.

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.

“Terminator 2: Judgment Day”
Can’t stand that kid or any scenes with him.

He is quite annoying but I really like the rest of the film.

Does anyone know exactly how many sock accounts Ghibili made before he thankfully seemed to have left permanently?

I think Ghibli itself was a sock of the account with a name consisting of a bunch of random numbers. I believe there were six in total.

Which ones do you think?

No explanation? What are you Darth Id? It’s a pretty brilliant scheme. It would humiliate Bond and humiliate M16.

Dr No (1962)

From Russia with Love (1963)

In both films Bond is completely one dimensional and boring, the love interests are horrendous, especially Tatiana Romanova, the villains in both are flat and not at all fun to watch, particularly Red Grant, and the pacing for both is practically non-existent. I just don’t get the love!

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.

You already did that. It wasn’t funny the first time.

Standing on the Verge of Getting It On - Funkadelic

Very great. I found myself humming the titular song so I thought I’d give the album a listen. I don’t regret it.
