Just something somebody put on reddit with all the Bond actors.

So the quiche has extra crust?

GOG.com and the community there have been after LucasArts games for quite some time. Would love to play some of those old games like Tie Fighter again.

The green tint reminds of the Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition Blu-Ray controversy.

^ One of my favorite lines in cinema:

"Oh, the rocket went off too soon!"

He looks very sick now.

One movie every 2-3 years? Try 2-3 movies produced EVERY YEAR.

That's some faster, more intense film production right there.

The Lost World was not a good movie.

Don't feed babies to your laptops.

Ignore the PT. Don't try to retcon the PT. Don't try to fit the PT more into the OT. Just tell a story that takes place after the OT.

Let's expand the SW universe, not shrink it further.

Brenda Chapman (Brave) is the latest name to float around.

The Star Wars VII

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan

I think Johnston did a solid job with Captain America. Honestly, he makes perfect sense. Someone who got his start in the franchise and has the chops for directing. Well, I didn't hear many good things about The Wolfman, but otherwise he should be competent...provided there is a good script.

I could get behind a Johnston-directed SW movie.

I shudder to think of what the outtakes are, considering what Lucas deemed sufficient to make it into the final cuts.

Topher Grace has you covered.

MINOR SKYFALL SPOILERS AHEAD

The third act saved the movie. Otherwise I would have put it below Quantum of Solace. Silva was an interesting villain, but we barely go to know him, and his motivations felt a little underdeveloped/rushed.

Really?  I thought the third act was the worst part. 

MAJOR SPOILERS

I think it would have been much better had the old bird died at the courthouse (or whatever it was) and the third act could have followed from there.

END MAJOR SPOILERS

SPOIIIIILERS

I guess I liked how the themes of old vs. new technology were realized in the third act. The "last stand" at Bond's childhood home was a nice change of pace from uber command world domination centers. And we got to see a different side of M. But I see your point and agree that could have been interesting, too. it seemed the whole point of the movie was to bring in Moneypenny (I didn't like how Eve was absent for the second half of the movie) and replace M. Basically, this movie did what QoS should have done.

NO MORE SPOILERS

Either way, it was a good movie, but not very memorable.

My cousin's wife is older than his mother (her children from her ex-husband are older than him) which is a bit unusual when you are introduced to the situation but no more than the vibe he gets meeting my partner (there's 11 years difference between us and we are both men).

I think old guys with younger women don't get anywhere near as much attention (usually it's the woman accused of being a gold digger that's the knee-jerk attention of gossip).

I have a similar situation. My cousin is about 40 years older than me. He's ~10 years older than my mother, who is his aunt. My mom was the youngest of her siblings, and my cousin came from her oldest sibling.

I just realized the Disney acquisition of Star Wars brings things full circle.
