How many times have you watched each film. Nothing like a bond marathon

Got a new bed today. Had my (single) bed since I was four, so 23 years. Served me well.

Now to make myeslf familiar with this bad boy

 

[Cruyff14]

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Belated congratulations Cruyff14 on the new job. Frustrating not having money coming in, looks like it will be a while yet for me...

That hair is woeful. It sounds a hell of a lot like a U2 song... Can't recall which one.

I think you'd like Vampire Weekend if you like that.

Thanks mate. Yeah, it's tough.

Good luck with your search mate. I know how hard it is.

Oh shocking haircut, but the song is catchy and I think he has a very good voice.

I don't mind some VW. Walcott rocks.

Where the streets have no name.

Plus they sound nothing like Vampire Weekend, who are probs close to my favourite band.

Nah I'm not even allowed to search, temporary disability is no picnic either...

There was a 2 month period where I was told to look for work because I wasn't granted disability and then having interviewers getting upset that I was there as an obligation to do so yet unable to work for them. Glad I don't have to do that anymore but sitting mostly at home with two busted shoulders is annoying. There's only a certain amount of time you can spend on Netflix (and Bigfooty)

I have the whole set on blue ray, ******* awesome.

Speaking of Vamp Weekend, have people heard the new Wombats album? Very different sound, a lot like a mix between early/mid-Panic at the Disco and Vampire Weekend, but with their unique lyrics.

I'm low tech. Hard drive. Some good debates over best and worst bond films have been had...

Diamonds are Forever is probably worst in my mind, Quantum of Solace a close second. Diamonds just literally has no plot.

Always liked From Russia With Love and Quantum of Solace is out on its own as the worst bond film. 2nd worst is not even close...

Diamonds is in the same realm I think.

Depends if you're including the non eon bond films.

Have never watched the original Casino Royale personally but the Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again was horrendous, worse than diamonds imo...

Loonerty never picked up on that, but fair point.

Streets is a ******* brilliant song. It is one of my favourite intros ever and hearing it gives a sense of liberation and like anything is possible. The riff sends shivers down my spine and often brings tears to my eyes. An absolutely brilliant song. Outstanding lyrics and fantastic vocal from Bono. Crank it up whenever I hear it.

Spewing. Hope it all works out for you.

Haven't heard it yet, but since I have tickets to splendour I will see them there !

Anyone else here going ?! Never been to a 3 day festival, excited is an understatement

Sound wasn't what I meant. Cruyff described that song as fun. I would also describe Vampire Weekend as fun. That's where I made the connection.

The Wombats are horrible nowadays for me. Their first album was so cool and original(and so non-electro) now everything they seem to do is some polished up pop song about love. But I can see the appeal of that direction, I'm probably just too old.

Fair enough, VW are fun.

Saw the new avengers last night, have to say I thought the first one was better. Was a long way from being impressed tbh.

Octopussy is not only the worst Bond film, but one of the worst films of all time. Roger Moore was old, fat and washed up; and he finished the movie in a clown suit hitch hiking into town to try to disarm a nuclear bomb hidden in a circus tent. I mean.. Come on..



In fact, Roger Moore was just a shite Bond in general. I enjoyed Live and Let Die and the Spy Who Loved Me wasn't bad but the other Moore Bond films strayed too close to being comedies, you just couldn't take him seriously.

Best Bond's in order: Craig, Connery, Brosnan, Dalton.... Daylight... Moore/Lazenby

Favourite Bond films (in no particular order): Casino Royale, Skyfall, Goldeneye, Goldfinger and From Russia With Love
