It actually almost makes sense, they're lacking any ugly or fat friends, so somebody gets designated to be ugly and fat. it's about how loving horrible it would be to be considered ugly or fat when you're actually a standard attractive person and the shame and fury at being labeled as such is why we will identify with the standard attractive protagonist and we will cheer when they are proved to be not ugly and fat.

It would be even better if they made that movie, but about a guy, and about him going to a popular girl and saying "make me a man!" because everyone keeps calling him gay.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Between Skyfall being one giant 50th Anniversary wink-fest and the upcoming movie reintroducing Blofeld and SPECTRE I really appreciate that Craig's Bond movies have gone the opposite direction of the rest of Hollywood and gotten less grim and realistic and more silly and campy as they go on without going completely to poo poo the way Brosnan did with Die Another Day. I liked that Skyfall was a return to the Same Old Bond while at the same time feeling completely new, which is what I imagine most people who like James Bond films in general wanted all along.

Poster Six-Pack: Some Movies I Have Watched This Year. Dumb fun, but check out that cast list!  Starring Clint Howard? Sign me up!  Brain-breaking when you watch it at 3am, still pretty weird when you're wide awake.  One crossed off the "Why haven't I watched this yet?" list...  Equally as hilarious and inept as NINJA III. With less shirts.  Speaking of which, FIRECRACKER. Two words: Topless kung-fu

There's actually a recent sequel to Deadly Prey with most of the main cast back. Except of course Cameron Mitchell but it does have a guy who died in the first one!

Speleothing posted:My biggest problem with Skyfall is that the bad guy won and the movie doesn't acknowledge it. We're supposed to read the ending as triumphant, yet tinged with sadness. But the guy's only goal was to humiliate, ruin, and kill M. It would have taken about two lines changed for M to have retired because of the wounds but NOPE. And the movie acts like Bond somehow bested him. That's the whole point of the film. Bond is rapist brute, employed by people too self deluded to recognize what is even going on.

The villain wins, but he also proves that MI-6 is still necessary via his actions that lead to his victory. If he had done nothing M would have been forced out of her office, and MI-6 would have been massively downgraded due to poo poo that was already in motion. But then he literally performed a terrorist attack on the hearings that would have led to this, and it was MI-6 who brought them down, with M "heroically" losing her life in the process. He won in that he killed M, but he also made certain that the entire cycle he was so upset about would continue.

MI-6 raising and training said villain in the first place makes the cycle absolutely horrific. That the government doesn't see this and uses his actions as justification for retaining the intel agency(and thus Bond) is the best kind of sick joke.

The thing about Silva that makes him so great is that while he is an absolute nut bag, he's also completely justified and right. MI-6 are basically making monsters. Bond himself is one of those monsters. Him wanting to be destroy it and the woman behind it who made and then abandoned him is a very Frankenstein's monster situation. Skyfall rocks, is what I'm saying here. It may not be as much of a direct sequel to Casino Royale as some people were hoping for, but it was a very well put together film about the nature of Bond and MI-6 in general.

It was also pretty much EXACTLY what the Bond franchise needed to mark it's 50th year in existence. The art gallery scene where Bond meets the Ben Whishaw Q while having a pointed discussion about the old battleship is a brilliant bit of self-reflexivity.

Ahh, like the old Inquisition trick of throwing suspected witches into a lake with weights tied to their feet. If you float, you're a witch and get dragged out and burned alive. If you sink, you were an honest god-fearing person and your soul can rest in peace. Can't fail.

Wonder why they didn't bother going with theduffmovie.com or something? Adding -movie to the title usually negates most cybersquatting attempts. And they're obviously not as cheap as having all web presence go through the main studio site, or worse, Facebook.

Just looked up that Duff movie on IMDB, and in fact, it isn't called "The Duff". Nope, it's "The DUFF", because when something's bad, it can always be that much worse. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1666801/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_4
