Saw Dark Phoenix today, not bad and entertaining...but a let down. I know there is no way they could actually do the comic version of dark phoenix, but it could have been done better, IMHO.

Watched both "Mile 22" and "Den of Thieves" recently. They're produced by STX films, which as far as I can tell, has this odd formula of somehow casting a couple A list type actors into B quality films. Both movies had potential but ultimately were really no better than 4 or 5 out of 10 in my book.

I didn’t understand Mile 22 ending did they retaliate against the Russians after they wiped out the CIA unit?

One of the best period era movies ever

This one looks good.

That one is based on the Battle of Long Tan, which was my Battalion's first major battle of their first tour. I'm really hoping they don't cock it up.

I'm watching Kong: Skull Island on TBS. Huey's, shithooks, a Jolly Green 53, Black Sabbath, M60s, jungle camo...but there weren't any gigantic monkeys in I Corps.

That move always makes me laugh. I love when he swats the guy doing a suicide run at him.

Just got done watching "Midsommer" from A24, all I can say is that it's very weird and I don't even think that does it justice. Not a movie I think I would watch again unless I was really in the mood for some freaky leeky folk horror.

Going to see The Dead Don't Die in an hour so.

And even 007 will fade away into obscurity. I just don't see this working out at all. Lashana Lynch Makes History With 007 Role for Bond 25

 

[Kraut783]

The death of 007....

 

[RackMaster]

I'll probably watch it but I have a feeling this is the end of an epic franchise. I'm seriously wondering why Hollyweird has lost all it's imagination. Is it because all the writing talent went to streaming or TV?

The good idea, diversity fairy strikes again. Hard pass. Fuck that. She can be another 00 but not Bond.

 

[Grunt]

It's things like this that make me lose interest in the entire story. I probably - more than likely - will not be seeing it.

Jane Bond 007 smh

 

[AWP]

On one hand, I get it, the "007" number moves from person to person as one dies or retires. On the other, James Bond was always written as a "James" and like it or not, that was the story. The character is 65+ years old and hardly "modern" but... that's the character. Pass the torch and call her "008" or something, but what's next? Darth Vader wears white? Thor is Asian?

 

[ThunderHorse]

If we were to go by Canon, which they didn't for Star Wars. The 00 number is specifically assigned to that person. In the movies and books there are other agents. 006, 008, 009, 0011, 0012, and 0013, all appear in the Canon. There are also several 00 Agents whose numbers we don't know that die throughout the Canon. So, in reality she would be assigned something like 0046.

What about transvestites? Why can't they be 007? What about a midget? What about a midget transvestite? What's a matter, Hollywood?? No balls???

Racist

 

[Kraut783]

Books mention the double 0's having license to kill, so there are at least 9, ten if there is a 000...... so yeah, make her another number and carry on the program.

Recently saw this trailer while going to see spider-man in theaters. I thought the movie looked interesting. I think it could be a great movie, while the trailer doesn't really give away any major plot spoilers, I think it has been well cast and the setting is definitely something I think could spice it up a bit. I will probably end up going to see it when it comes out.
