@AWP The people have spoken.

So Quantum of Solace is the weakest of the Craig films. But it objectively, by all quantifiable forms of measurement has the best Bond girl. It's not even a contest.

I really enjoyed the rest of the movies though and Skyfall was gorgeous/amazing.

1. Casino Royale & Skyfall
2. Spectre
3. Quantum of Solace

Spoiler

But only because of my future ex wife, olga kurylenko

I think the Craig/Bond films are the best ever. I rate them:

1. Casino Royale
2. Skyfall
3. Spectre
4. Quantum of Solace

My problem with Spectre was Christoph Waltz. He wasn't scary. He'd been over exposed since Inglorious Basterds...Green Hornet, Horrible Bosses II, Django Unchained...and the stupid dentist chair just to inject Bond with a needle?

Waltz couldn't revive the sinister menace he absolutely killed in Inglorious Basterds.

Mile 22 was very good, or to put it more academically- “badass as fuck.” Sure it has a 21% on the Tomato Meter, but it still features a dude getting his throat slit on a broken window and Maggie from Walking Dead is the depressed crazy woman of my dreams. Oh and Marky Mark finally got rid of his “Dorchest-a kid” accent (I know I shouldn’t besmirch my own people but it had to be said). Also B Co 1/75’s old 1SG runs the company that did the advising and training for the film.

Anybody go see The Meg yet?

Worth checking out in the theater?

Mindless entertainment, good timekiller.

This looks good.

Hell yeah, it looks good. The director of Hell and High Water and Chris Pine reunited...Lots of Scotsmen cutting people up with broadswords...and I got a dog named Robert The Bruce so I'm in.

Looking forward to it. Hey, quick Lowell, Mass anecdote: my middle son went to UMASS Lowell and was roommates and best friends with a kid named Devlin who punched out Dickie Eklund in a bar one night. Seriously. And Dickie was asking for it.

I saw it the other night. It has all the good bits of a good action movie but no titties. Unfortunately this isn't the 80s/90s anymore. It has Jason Statham and Kiwi Cliff Curtis and a giant shark so I was sold from the start. Go in expecting a stupid action movie and don't take it seriously and you'll enjoy it.

So a remake of Deep Blue Sea?

Haven't seen it sorry so I've no idea.

Oh, I'm taking any movie about a 60-foot-long, 41,000-pound extinct prehistoric megashark coming back to life trying to eat Jason Statham seriously.

 

[AWP]

Taking any movie with Jason Statham seriously is a bad idea.

Gal Gadot in a Showtime series on Hedy Lamarr and now Olga Kurylenko lands a role playing her in a movie. Hot women playing a geek, take my money...

The movie centers on the unlikely friendship between Lamarr and radical composer George Antheil. Despite their high-profile entertainment personas, the duo developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes in 1941, which paved the way for modern communications such as GPS and Wi-Fi technology.

I continue to live my life under a rock and finally got around to watching Deadpool 2, didn't suck and was honestly better than the first.

I used to work with a girl who could probably pass by as a doppleganger for Gal Gadot. God was she hot.

So apparently the writers of this movie and Ryan Gosling are complete fuckups.

'First Man': Neil Armstrong film fails to fly flag for US patriotism

 

[Blizzard]

Obviously haven't seen the film yet but I don't know how someone could make a movie about Neil Armstrong and not include one of the most iconic images of the 20th century.
