Coincidental, my wife randomly picked this one out to watch today and it's been pretty good too. Another good netflix original.

Original Star Wars Marathon on TNT...my girlfriend goes: "Now I get why you're mad! This is some dark shit!"

Looks like Sam Worthington has finished with the next 4 Avatars and is working on other stuff again. Apart from a couple of small bits here and there, he's hardly been seen in the last 5 years.

The Avatars series looks to be a great entertainment. Hugh fan of Cameron’s underwater escapades. A2 is going undersea.

Pacific Rim: Uprising was very disappointing. I was a big fan of the first, and they managed to take all the cool stuff about the original and turn it into "Power Rangers, with robots"

POWERFUL

Watched Heat for the first time.

Pretty good.

Its a long ways away, but the next James Bond is set to come out in NOV 2019. After that, the internet (so it has to be true) is going crazy that Emily Blunt is one of 10 females that might play the next Agent 007 from MI6.. I have no issues with this or any other entries.....

Lauren Cohan
Archie Panjabi
Ems Blunt
Hayley Atwell
Gillain Anderson
Thandie Newton
Gugu MBatha
Lena Headey
Eva Green
Kate Beckinsale

You mean the DeNiro/Pacino movie from the 90s? Yeah, not bad except for a little too much downtime with family issues. Cool action sequences.

I get kidded by my sons because my two favorite comedy movies are This is the End--the Rogen/Franco/McBride/Hill apocalypse movie...and Hangover Part II.

James Franco normally cracks me up, so I watched The Disaster Artist today. It was pretty good, different.

A female James Bond? Nothing against women in lead action roles, but this, IMO, would be the death of the franchise.

Half of those aren't even British. That should be an automatic exclusion.

Idris Elba is my choice.

 

[DC]

Rumor has it that there is gay Bond in the cue. So tired of every hollywierd movie having a gay innuendo.

 

[Topkick]

Just no. James Bond is a white dude who digs chicks. Nothing else makes sense.

 

[medicchick]

I had no problem with a female M (because they got the right actress) but a female Bond? No, not unless it's get in the future and it's his daughter.

 

[Kraut783]

you wanna put a female double "O" as a character...sure. But, not a female Bond.

 

[Salt USMC]

To date, there have been 24 Bond movies. Why not try something different? Hell, there was a rumor about casting a prominent black actor last year (Idris Elba was the name thrown around), and that could've been something unique and different. I don't see the problem here.

Agreed.

007 as a character is supposed to just be the agent identifier, not a singular specific character archetype or gender. Personally I'd love to see Idris Elba fill the role but I wouldn't mind seeing Blunt either.

 

[SpitfireV]

I'll just come out and say it- I would turn for Idris Elba.

Sure but if they tried to use the same name is where I go nope. Retired James Bond and a new 007 with a new name/color/gender/whatever fine.

 

[AWP]

One of the biggest fan theories out there is that Bond isn't the same guy. It is an alias that goes with the 007 title. I've only read one of the books so I don't know if that was Fleming's intent, but it gives the Broccoli family an opening to cast whomever. I love most of the actresses on that list, but a Bond who isn't a straight male?
