my wife's family vastly prefers CR67 to the recent daniel craig movie. come to think of it, i probably do too, although it's more because i hate the stultifyingly awful bond subgenre.

CR67 is wacky exciting post-modern fun!

Stop throwing all those fancy college words around if you don't know wtf you are talking about. Casino Royale is a mess of a script that was passed around through several screenwriters, including Woody Allen (whose biggest contribution was expanding his own role). It it not "post-modern" (unless you consider crap like Soul Plane and Scary Movie post-modern as well), it's shit.

Honestly, this is a dumb troll, but the possibility that you might actually be serious just makes me think so much less of you.

my issue with the modern Casino Royale is that there was all this Sony-fan level hype about how they were REINVENTING THE BOND FRANCHISE and at the end of the day it was just another Bond movie--better acted and shot than most, but still, gadgets, girls, tuxes, martinis, stupid villains, etc.

kinda like FF12?

I watched 10 minutes of The Breakfast Club on TV last week. pretty lulzy.

The Breakfast Club is the white equivalent Scarface. Terrible movie with an absolutely puzzling following. For this sort of movie, Sixteen Candles is clearly so much superior.

the breakf-ASS-t club

my hs graduating class inexplicably loved that shit movie

16 candles

Actually, Breakfast Club is better than Scarface. Don't want to give it too much shit. I might watch it tonight for the first time in probably a decade.

last night i watched The War Game by Peter Watkins

[youtube=425,350]V4HNi1ljbAo[/youtube]

Quote

The War Game is a 1965 television film on nuclear war. Written, directed, and produced by Peter Watkins for the BBC, its depiction of the impact of Soviet nuclear attack on Britain caused dismay within the BBC and in government. It was scheduled for transmission in 1966 but was not transmitted until 1985, the corporation publicly stating that "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting"

which is, of course, really kind of sad because nuclear war is horrifying.

I'm not, like, a huge fan of either, but I really thought Daniel Craig was great in the last Bond movie, much better than Matt Damon in any of the Bourne movies.

Are people still arguing Bourne v. Bond? Didn't we establish that James Bond and Jason Bourne

No, just some movie nerd talk about getting excited for hype and then being disapointed that Casino Royale was just another, guess what? Bond film. (hurrrr)

Normal people that just go and see movies without pretension enjoyed the film.

ps: watch American Gangster

Casino Royale is the only Bond movie I own on DVD. I don't own any of the Bourne movies. That says something.

I have it on VHS, along with all the other Connery Bonds, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and the two Daltons. Don't watch them often enough to justify re-buying them on DVD.
