markjazzbassist Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Skyfall was brilliant! Agreed. Sky fall was my favorite because someone notable actually died. Also James Bond wasn't invincible which most times he's superman esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Nope. Ruined a lot for me. Everything was just so coincidental, it was laughable. Like the train bursting through the wall, just at the time when Bond had chased him through the sewer....considering there were some unplanned interventions, how did he get the timing so good? Plus, I was hoping they'd never delve into his history too much, so that Bond/007 could just be a code-name (to explain the changes in appearance), now how's it going to look if Elba does get the bond gig and we see him staring at a photo of him as a kid, little 12 year old blonde haired, white kid who lived in the highlands? Explain that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain that. my understanding is your code name thing is what it is. each 007 is just a soldier so to speak, they just went into this one's backstory. next one if elba could have a different backstory. i've never read the books though. like when daniel craig "shaken or stirred" response "i don't give a damN" he's showing he's a different type of 007 to the other ones. i've never thought of them all as the same person, i've thought they were all different 007's. so elba woudln't change that and backstories wouldn't either.

I just felt Skyfall went too close to destroying the illusion. Giving opportunities for future films to expose the plot holes. Daft really/ Best bits about Bond films were that it wasn't taken too seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft really/ Best bits about Bond films were that it wasn't taken too seriously. Completely the opposite for me. Dalton was my favourite before Craig because he was a cold blooded spy, serious, real. That was the whole point for me, with the "oh come on!" moments being in a couple of the action sequences rather than the other way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft really/ Best bits about Bond films were that it wasn't taken too seriously. yes and no for me. it's not like bourne films where i'm like damn this is crazy cool. bond films i'm like i'm going to see a bunch of stuff blown up, hot girls, and an unrealistic hero that always wins. skyfall he was most human which was surprising for me and cool. but i agree they aren't to be taken too seriously, i felt they went far enough to reel you in but not far enough that i have real empathy for the character.

toffee876 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Put on the first episode of that Mr Robot the other night and ended up watching the whole lot over the next 2 days. Good if you're in to your conspiracy theory and computer hacking stuff. I have no idea about either but found it really interesting, definitely worth a watch.

EFC-Paul Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Thought I'd put a family type film on that we could all watch so stumped for Into The Woods - Little red riding hood etc It's a fucking musical which I didn't know and which I'm far from keen on hence why I'm outside vaping (ecig) my head off typing this and that fat tit James Cordon is in it aswel which makes it worse Going to give The Last Which Hunter a go once the kids knod off Edited November 3, 2015 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Well I certainly wasn't going to watch the MOBO Awards or "sportswomen of the year" last night - just in the same way I wouldn't watch MOWO awards or sportsman of the year awards. Funny isn't it. People try to fight discrimination by creating discrimination. Bell ends. Gets my fucking goat. It gives the real racist or sexist pricks a reason to kick off, then they start putting up right wing pictures on twitter and behave like neanderthals. After this Troy Townsend bollocks I've got a bee in my bonnet. I hate discrimination in any way shape or form, especially positive discrimination. But hey, nowadays you get tagged for saying that.

Lowensda Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I watched the Beatles last night wow superb you forget how good they were. They were the best group ever. I'm going to say it. I don't get it. Maybe I don't appreciate them but I just can't stand them. As a band, as people, there's not a lot that appeals to me.

Lowensda Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 it would be interesting who you rate or listen to. I have quite an eclectic taste in music. I even like stuff you shouldn't like. Music I prefer always either means something to me or just resonates something inside. It doesn't matter if that's pop, rock, death metal, cheesy, old hat, Old school hip hop, ballad, house, non-lyrical, spoken word, comedic, grime, dubstep. But for reasons I can't really explain, I don't like the Beatles. Their music to me is either whiney or not exciting enough. I don't particularly like them as individuals and that doesn't help. So for me, I don't get it. I appreciate the reasons why people might like them and I won't say you're wrong for doing so, I personally just can't get into them or their music. If I were to pick particulars from some of the genres listed above, as top talents, they'd be; Foo Fighters Bob Marley Carlos Santana Jay-Z/Eminem/Dr Dre Beastie Boys / Run-DMC Queen Tenacious D (Obvs) / Michael Jackson/Jackson 5 Justin Timberlake/Ed Sheeran Marvin Gaye Daft Punk/Tiesto/Scratch Perverts Slipknot/Motorhead/System of a Down Eva Cassidy (admitting this is bad because he's a ball bag but his music is catchy.)

MikeO Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm going to say it. I don't get it. Maybe I don't appreciate them but I just can't stand them. As a band, as people, there's not a lot that appeals to me. I do and did get them for a long time and I still love a lot of their stuff and listen to it. The release of a new Beatles single was such a big event in the sixties; the fact that my dad was involved with them helped . But; some of their stuff, particularly later was complete self indulgent shite (eg White Album). As people? imo Paul may be a musical genius but is really not the sharpest pencil in the box otherwise and if I hear him play "Hey Jude" (or "Let it Be") again at the end of a multi-band charity thing I'll stab him. John and George I liked. Ringo is/was and always will be a total wanker. The only thing I enjoyed of his was when he was narrating Thomas the Tank Engine.

Lowensda Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Jessica Jones was release on Netflix this morning and I can't wait to start it. JJ is the follow on series from DareDevil (which if you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it - not what you'd expect from light'n'fluffy Marvel) and will eventually lead onto the Defenders. Just read a couple of early reviews and series impressions and apparently, it's better than DD. Will be forcing H to watch that later ahaha.

Finn balor Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Don't know your tastes but watched a few recently. The guest, cold in July - two films that are a hark back to the 80s, whiplash is the best film I've seen in a long time, night crawler and southpaw are two good films by jake gylenhall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought i would see cunnilingus in a Marvel series. Need some films recommended I've just watched American sniper and lone survivor. Patto, you might enjoy '71.

Will get on this tonight I think. just finished the first (and only so far) season. really great show. for those that don't know, it's based on a book written in 1962 basically what would happen if the Axis of Evil had won WWII.
