The off topic thread #2

I swear to god Austin Powers has ruined my enjoyment of the Connery Era Bonds. That boat scene in... Thunderball, I think it was? (God, Thunderball suffered the most.) I was just laughing like made.

Goldeneye was my favourite. It nice to see Bond actually get along with another 00 agent, we need more of that.

James bond movies top 5

1. Goldfinger
2. On Her Majestys Secret Service
3. Spy who loved me
4. For your eyes only
5. Goldeneye

Every bond has positive and negative qualities but i find Connery to be the best one

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yes Goldeneye was fantastic. Xena Onatopp, hell yes.

Great Nintendo game too, a classic.

Xenia was a great bond girl growing up

And everyone forgets about Aussie Bond Lazenby.

And everyone forgets about Aussie Bond Lazenby.

He had a bad agent.

Diamonds are Forever would have worked a lot better with him getting revenge on Blofeld compared to connery phoning in a performance.

Also the ending to OHMSS is the saddest scene in any bond movie

 

[Cruyff14]

The first 3 Bournes are very good IMO and are nothing like a Bond movie. You should check them out.

Yeah Matt Damon as Bourne... these movies are kickass!

This.

I'm really hoping Craig does 1 more Bond flick.

Me too. He's the best Bond ever.

 

[jod23]

SM Go watch the first three Bournes immediately. They are terrific!

 

[bok_party]

Has anyone watched Top Boy? I reckon Troopz wrote the script

The British wire. Needed one more season though.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

um. Batman is nothing like Bond. Craig is defo not the best. At best he's third behing Connery and Moore.

Bourne is also nothing like Bond. First 3 are great. Best not to ruin it by watching the last 2.

What a way to go out it would be....

I saw the one with Renner which was average. Havent seen Damons new one though. Not great though huh?

Wasnt anything near as good as the first 3.

average. very poor ending. he looks too old.

 

[Loonerty]

The Bourne trilogy is awesome.

Bummer. Ill still watch it.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Sign me for this in 60 years time

 

[Jatz]

I'm not that big on Bourne. Bourne is definitely more like Bond than Batman is haha

 

[Jatz]

Also, saw Logan last night.

Not going to lie, didn't actually love it. Am sad that's it for HJ in Wolverine though. One of the more perfect cast roles in my lifetime.

Spoiler

So a few things that seemed a bit odd to me (which could just be I don't know the universe as well as I could):

Why did getting over the Canada border all of a sudden mean the kids were safe? The bad guys chased them into Mexico, why would they not chase them into Canada?

What was the terrible thing Charles did in West Chester?

Who was the albino guy and has he been referenced before?

The movie just really felt like a really long goodbye. I didn't know any spoilers going in but the plot was pretty obvious throughout. Only thing I didn't really see coming was when Charles died.

Hanson goes bang...

“I believe there are some that want to live a good life and a quiet life,” she said. “But you tell me — you line up a number of Muslims, who’s the good one?”

 

[jd2010]

Bond & Batman are the same storyline. Good guy beats villain every time. We all know the ending before the movie starts

Only difference is comic villains vs international villains. And Batmobile vs whatever it is Bond drives

That's breaking it down to the most basic component.

Good vs bad is the same story in just about every movie ever written.
