Saw Bond. <br><br>
Despite mixed reviews I've gotta say I really enjoyed it. At least three awesome chases, an iconic tough fluffybunny henchman in the vein of Jaws/Odd job/Tee Hee and an even more iconic lead villain played by Christolph Watlz. I personally don't reckon he is an amazing 'actor' as such but despite being softy spoken and not having physical presence he exudes menace like no other. M and Q are particularly superb support to Bond too. I hope the rumours are incorrect and Craig doesn't hang up the holster but it seems like Connery he has grown to despise the role. Oh, and there's a bit of a twist too......<br><br>
Monica Belluci isn't in it for long but more than enough time for M4L to whip one out and then wipe it on the seat in front of him. -

<p>I'm the complete opposite. I was bored out of my tree.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had to make a decision on leaving early and missing some of the movie or taking a later ferry and I chose to leave early, and to tell the truth I wasn't really bothered.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was similar to Quantum of Solace in meh-ness IMHO but at least that one had Olga Kurlyenko on screen 85% of the time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't mind Craig in the role, and as you say M and Q are good, and I think Waltz is a good actor but was average in this. Not trying to disagree with you 100% - I agree Belluci isn't in it long enough. ;)</p> -
<p>I went to see Bond a week or two ago and I thought it a spectacular film but a little disjointed. Sort of like "hey guys! I've got this great idea". "Hey I've got a great idea too". So they put both ideas in but don't really link them well - leaves you a little bit lost really. The wrestler guy was a great baddie though and Monica is still smoking.</p>

<p>You have all no doubt seen it, but I watched the classic aussie comedy 'The Castle' tonight and it still stands up just awesomely, easily one of my favpurite comedies of all time.</p>

<p>That movie must hold some kind of record for quotable lines. You can just about rattle off the whole script without thinking about it.</p> -

<p>That's for sure. We even say "<strong>I just love mugs</strong>" at our house... and that's probably not even in the top half of the best lines from the movie.</p> -

<p>So many classic 80s movies started with the spinning Orion "O". When you saw that you knew it was movie time.</p> -

DIs you enjoy the other Craig Bonds? I do hear ya, it did drag a bit at times..... -

"If thereâ€

I've used this on more than a few occaisons in various levels of seriousness:<br>
"Fuck off you clown!" -
<p>Put me down as one of those bored by Spectre. Action scenes were good, but not tense or exciting, plot was good, although a little drawn out, Totty was, for me, no good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it suffered a bit from following-on after Skyfall. Which was just fricking awesome.</p> -
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2614684/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1'><em>'71</em></a> was a good thriller.</p>

<p>The first one was awesome, but then what do you expect, it was directed by a boy from the Bay ;).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The second one was spectacularly bad but had Olga Kurleynko and the previous one was ok.</p> -
Casino Royale is Craig's best.....still...shit Vespa was sexy. Quantum of Solace sucked in comparison but yeah, Agree about the eye candy in that. I think it's main problem was a couple of bad guys who were about as scary and menacing as the three stooges. <br><br>
Spectre is better than Skyfall I reckon, both have the same strengths and weaknesses. I still reckon the best bad guy is Scaramanga from Man with the Golden Gun, one of Moores 70s efforts. -

If you can't keep up with the conversation Virg just don't contribute ok?<br><br>
Jaws is clearly a henchman, I'm talking lead villains ( which admittedly I didn't specify ) -
<p>yea, but you talk an awful lot of shit, so it's easy for people to get sidetracked...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They've had Rocky movies on Foxtel this week. Rocky movies are awesome. Sure they got worse as they went on, but some of them are awesome. I think Clubber Lang is my favourite Rocky "villian" </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's your prediction for the fight?</p>
<p>Prediction?</p>
<p>Yes, prediction</p>
<p>pause, turn slowly towards the camera</p>

And talking shit makes me unique on here???<br><br>
You can always rely on Sly to slur his way through an 'inspirational' speech in every movie he is in and be unintelligible for half of it. <br><br>
Good old Carl Weathers, held his own against Arnie and Sly in the 80s then decided a movie called 'Action Jackson' was a good idea.
