i had never seen a bond movie until casino royale was about to come out, and whatever cable service i had put all of the movies on for free except for From Russia with Love. i rented the disc (lol) for that one from netflix and watched them all in order with some people, it was fun.

anyone interested in having a movie night over discord some time? i was working through 101 movies to watch before you die and got distracted by stuff. also it makes me really happy to watch old movies with people who have never seen them before for some reason.

i think we had enough interest for this. i'm usually free tuesdays or fridays after about 8:15 PM

I didn't even make it past this scene. Turned the movie off before the opening credits.

is that the one where they make sure you can clearly see the bmw or w/e logo on the cgi cars or was that skyfall [skyfail :twisted:]

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
what I heard was when they filmed there was another car involved in the chase, and they cut that part from the story, but didn't reshoot the scene, so what you're seeing is them trying to edit around it using only existing footage

Most of the stuff named earlier, volcano lair, poison on string, ninjas, Bonds Japanese surgery and wife, written by Road Dahl are all from You Only Live Twice.

I watched half of Never Say Never Again last night. There's a scene where Bond is fighting someone in a chemicals lab in the health clinic he's staying in, and he splashes a vial at the guy and it horribly burns his face. Bond looks at the vial and sees that its his urinal sample. What??

kai is better in every way except, some would argue, the english dub. most would not argue this point but its the only element thats even slightly debateable

kai moves a little fast before the vegeta fight but by then it's perfectly paced and better in every way

Ok sweet. Going to go ham on dragon ball. Starting the original DB then I'll watch Kai. I haven't watched any of it in like 15 years.

I remember at some point in the 90s finding this Trunks VHS while at Walmart with my parents. This was the short arc where future Trunks shows up in the present, kills cyborg Frieza and his dad, gives Goku the medicine, etc. It was uncensored I think and it all blew my mind, the series on TV was nowhere near that point yet and my friends didn't believe me when I described it to them until they saw it themselves.

imo the pilaf arc is silly of course but its short and the red ribbon arc drags a bit but everything else more or less meets or exceeds anything in Z/Kai

The journey in tone and focus from DB to DBZ is wild but somehow it works lol. I wonder what it was like being a regular shonen jump reader as the manga was ongoing and seeing it happen

Kai drops a few charming character building episodes that I was sad to see go but other than that it would be insane not to watch that over the original.

Original Dragon Ball is the best story ever told. The manga is a masterpiece.

I'm hyped to watch the original series, occasionally only caught an episode at weird early hours sometimes before school so I remember almost nothing about it.

edit: Just went to start it on Funimation and the site is down. No!!!!

Asian immigrants from places where dBZ was already finished were legends because of their foresight about the story and transformations. I remember some Chinese kid holding court at a lunch table telling everyone about the existence of SSJ3 when we hadn't even seen the first transformation yet.

i still remember it had pictures of perfect cells face like mid explosion and it was super incomplete so we were all trying to figure out wtf was happening, also it made a huge deal out of cell jr., way bigger than the show did

The first DB thing I ever saw was a fansub of the original Brolly movie that some kid brought to the summer day camp I went to, I’m pretty sure the subbers added in a bunch of curses that didn’t exist in the actual script. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen in my life at the time

I didn't believe the kid who said there was an SSJ4 that looked like a monkey because I thought it was so stupid at the time. THen he brought in his bootleg DBZ fanzine that summarized GT to prove it and made a fool of me.

yeah the kid who told us about ssj4 was a pathological liar and an rear end in a top hat so nobody believed him. he later made fun of a wheelchair kid and got the poo poo beat out of him. tire marks on his face and arms
