If GL bought the rights to Hitchcock films, he would add some weeeird SGI stuff on it and release it.

North by Northwest: re-film the whole plane sequence with a CGI tie-fighter.
Psycho: Norman Bates IS a Sith Lord. We only find out in the end though...
Rope: Have Yoda stand over the infamous trunk, giving James Stewart some advice thru the movie.
Birds: Picture this... not birds, but CGI gargoyles!
Vertigo: "Please... die your hair blonde... and put on this dress... and speak bocce!"

All I know is I've check three different sources and they all spell License L-i-c-e-n-s-e. And you are right Bossk my spell checker doesn't know the word Azkaban.

what!!!?!!??!! Diamonds is clearly the worst of the Connery era(unless you count Never say Never again, which was not made the same company and is not offically a part of the Bond movie series). Connery was clearly getting too old for the part and the guy they had playing Blowfield was the worst the three that played him. He wasn't even bald! If you ask me Connery gives his best performance as Bond in Dr. NO. No one in any of the Bond has every delivered the line "Bond. James Bond." Better that Connery did in Dr. NO.

Warbler so you should call Pink Floyd and ask them to rename the song "Any Colour you Like" to "Any Color you Like". Aparently you are not aware that this is a correct spelling in another country, and that english was BORN in europe, and the american way is the "wrong" one...

About Diamonds: Well, I'm intitled (cant spell) of my opinion, and that's what I think. The movie is creepy and silly, but I like Sean Connery on that one. Can't explain. It's just the way I see it.

It has happened before in football (soccer) games in a similar way, so I'm pretty much sure it was heart failure. Sadly, it can happen at anytime with people that have a heart disorder and son't know it - you could be walking on the street and then BANG, you're history.

Sometimes athletes know about their heart conditions but hide it from everyone so they don't stop being a professional player. It has happened with a soccer player in Brazil who died early this year. He was running on the field, and then he bent down, with his hands on his knees, and then he just collapsed on the ground, dead. With this european player it was even more weird, about 2 years ago, he was simply walking on the field, smiling, and suddenly he just falls to the ground. Bit shocking to watch.

How could Jor-El's sacrifice anything in SupII when he has already died in SupI with the destruction Kypton?

Reminds me of Orgazmo, it was something like that:

"Death of a Salesman 2? But... didn't he commit suicide at the end?"
"Uh... that's what they want you to think, but he faked his death and is back now to get revenge."
"Wow..."

I would get the time machine. I would go back in time and give myself an almanac, or even better, buy a lottery ticket... The I would go back and never use the time machine again, I'd just live from the money. I would use the time machine just one more time, when I'm an old man, almost dying: I would go back and promote chaos and havock, I'd prevent the Kennedy's assassinations, I would burn the Ed Sulivan theater while the Beatles are performing, I would kill my grandparents where they are just babies, I would kidnap Hitler and bring him to Japan so he could become a Gaijin Samurai, I would destroy the Lumiere brothers film camera... You know, just for fun, and then go back and laugh of the consequences, that is, if the universe don't colapse because of the paradoxes...

The "synchronizing watches" scene from that movie is absolutely hilarious.

My two favorite Peter Sellers films are "Dr Strangelove" and "The Party". The one where he's the gardner is good too - forgot the name... "Being there"? Something like that.

I really wish that Nintendo had brought some other classic games to the DS with some improvements, like Wario's Woods or Yoshi Tetris Atack.

Say, I read that this player had a heart atack or heat stroke or something like that and died after a game... I'm asuming it's a heart problem, which can happen quite often... About four or five football (soccer) players died of sudden heart atacks during games for the past 3 or 4 years (in the whole world)...

I like most Bond movies for different reasons. The whole Sean Connery era for it's seriousness, it's 60s-esque coolness, and the good plots, villains and situations (Goldfinger would be a good example). I like "Diamonds Are Forever" because it has the best Sean Connery acting of them all, it's weird creepiness (it's almost painful to watch at some parts), and Bond calling the bondgirls a "stupid idiot" or something like that.

I like the Roger Moore era for it's absurd goofiness and silliness, specially "Spy who Loved "Me" (favorite Bond incidental soundtrack), and Moonraker (because of it's absolutely steriotyped and hilarious Brazil, and Jaws comeback - also it has my favorite opening stunt sequence).

I like the Timothy Dalton films for it's seriousness and basic plot - it's not THAT different from other Bond flicks if you look at it. I just don't like Dalton's Bond, dosen't feel right.

I like Pierce Brosnan Bond films because it's a good mix of every one, except for Die Another Day, which is crap.

Notice how I didn't mention George Lazemby or whatever its spelled.

I think I'll get my copy of "Rope" and add some CGI lightsabers to it. Kids today would find this James Stewart and Hitchcock classic a bit dull, perhaps a bit of the SW magic could make it better for them.

Yeah, you can only do that so many times. I really think that's why the series has failed lately. It has become stale. They need something new. Maybe a dark Bond would do that. This is a day and age when dark action is not a bad thing and many recognize that the series is bottoming out. Back when the Dalton Bonds came out, people were still accustomed to the softer Bond that Warbler likes. It was before the series hit the skids. Now that it's firmly entrenched on the skids, I think they can get away with making a change of this magnitude.

Change is good.

Exactly. While some things should be kept (Bond theme music, gunbarrel opening, musical credits), the basic plotline must change. Therefore my suggestion for a Bond movie in which Bond stays in a single place for a single straightfoward mission for the whole movie...

Yeah, there is that scene, but that was a little person in a larger Yoda costume. You can see the guy's legs as he walks on his knees. It doesn't get any more fake than that.

What scene? The "Come! Come!" one?

So what you're saying is that Bond movies should stick to the formula? Like:

• Pre-opening credits sequence with a 8 minute elaborated stunt impossible in real life.
• Small briefing of the villain and the problem he is bringing to the world.
• Bond sees his new gadgets and make humorous commments on those.
• Bond goes to a country in Europe, meets the villain in a bizarre way that envolves either a game or a dare.
• Bond finds Bondgirl. Feels the urge to have sex with her.
• Bond kills some henchmen and finds out about something, some light plot twist about the villain.
• Bond goes to another country in the world, where the villain's lair is. He takes the Bondgirl for some reason.
• Bond goes on a sequence of stunt after stunt, using his previously presented gadgets, destroying the whole thing.
• Bond gets away and makes love to the Bondgirl. The End.

Don't you think it's starting to get old? Or even better, it's getting difficult to find good plotlines to fill up this formula?
