The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Very disappointed.

Sam Smith's intro song way especially pretty appalling.

Also Bond was a being a ****ing lunatic at the start. Why attack the bloody pilot, he's just doing his ****ing job and your above a crowd of people. Bond almost got hundreds of innocent people blown up for no reason.

"Writing's On The Wall" was bad. But then I thought "Skyfall" was overrated as is Adele in general imo.

It was just a slow effort all the way around. And don't get me started on the total lack of chemistry between Bond and Lea whatsherface. I'm supposed to believe that there's something about them that totally undermines Bond's history of womanizing? She's not that charismatic and she's not that good looking.

Christoph Waltz was about the only good thing in the movie and even that...

Waltz was completely underutilized. There should have been way more to the conflict between him and Bond but they're both too nonchalant about the thing to create any passion in the scenes, what little there was.

Pretty sure Moriarty got more screen time.

Waltz

Spoiler:
being Bond's adoptive big brother

Yeah, I can't believe they literally ripped off Austin Powers.

Not to mention Winter Soldier and Mission Impossible 5. Lmao.

Did you see MI:5?

No, but I've heard a ton of people say it has a really similar premise and that it does it better.

It's good. MI:4 was better, but Cruise is still pretty impressive in the action biz for a guy his age.

Lack of Paula Patton prevented MI5 from being as good as MI4, but it was a fairly solid film all around.

Paula Patton's perky breasts, you mean?

As was your mom last night, to be honest family shaking my head.

Tzeentch has regressed to using full words and punctuation

I think they forgot something.

The black staff members are probably just running on CPT.

Your passion for 8 year olds strikes me as a bit more sinister than George's.

I agree, but are we supposed to particularly care about the opinion of Ryan Lambie? Is he like a prominent figure in nerd culture?

I think it's safe to say that Ryan speaks for every rational person on the planet when he says that the Emperor is the most entertaining character in the saga. Anyone who disagrees is clearly a heretic.
