Spectre is the name of the new James Bond film. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:33 41
- And Drax is his henchmen. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:34 40
  - I don't like the direction they're taking Bond. It's becoming a parody of itself. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:39 39
    - it used to be far far more of a parody. -- nm - Andie Dec 4, 08:44
    - I've liked 2 of the 3 Daniel Craig films very much. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:43
    - In many ways, it has been for decades, though. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:41
    - Well, an even more ridiculous parody, that is. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:40 35
      - Let me know when they get back to invisible cars and parasailing off glaciers. - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:42 17
        
        Casino Royale was fantastic. I didn't like the last one at all. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:44 16
        
        Skyfall has it issues, but played to a wider audience with common themes. Quantum of Solace otoh, ugh. -- nm - budice Dec 4, 08:46 15
        
        I honestly don't find much issue with anything in Skyfall. QoS is just...tedious and unmemorable. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:55 4
        
        I'm struggling to remember a single thing that happened in it. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 09:22 3
        
        Homage to Goldfinger....I think? - Will Hunting Dec 4, 09:29
        
        I think there was a building out in the middle of a desert - zork Dec 4, 09:28 1
        
        I remember the opening, but that is all. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 09:30
        
        yep - this here right here. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:48
        
        Do you know who I'd like to see as Bond? Cumberbatch. It would be like Lazenby, except good. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:48 7
        
        I would watch the hell out of that. - Spawn Dec 4, 08:49 6
        
        I don't think he's ever had a hand to hand combat type role? I could be wrong. Be interesting to see how he'd do. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:50 5
        
        i'm not sure how much mano-a-mano he did in Trek Into Darkness. There were so many flowing robes in the one scene it could have been a stunt double -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:52 2
        
        I think when he and the other guy fought their way to the bridge of the ship, he handled himself well there. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 09:41 1
        
        yeah - that was good too. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 09:54
        
        Star Trek. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:51 1
        
        Oh yeah! He was brilliant in that. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:52
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:46
      - At least it is not at Roger Moore levels. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:41 16
        
        True. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:43
        
        bite your tongue. Moore was awesome. Brosnan is where it went to Hell -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:42 14
        
        Goldeneye was a great Bond flick -- nm - eag Dec 4, 09:14
        
        Daniel Craig is when it went to Hell. -- nm - David Dec 4, 08:59
        
        *sigh* -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:43 10
        
        MOONRAKER! -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:44 9
        
        Moonraker was one of the worst Bond films ever. The Spy Who Loved Me, on the other hand, was one of the best. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 08:49 6
        
        don;t make me come over there -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:52
        
        Exactly. Moore had his moments. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:50 4
        
        Live and Let Die is a top 3-4 Bond movie imo - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:53 3
        
        That was his first IIRC? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:56 2
        
        Yep. And still has the hottest Bond girl. Jane Seymour was *gorgeous* -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:56 1
        
        For me it was Barbara Bach. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 09:00
        
        He made a far better Saint than Bond. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:45 1
        
        FOR YOUR EYES ONLY -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:46

- Saints Row IV had a similar issue there. -- nm - Max Dec 4, 08:35
Saw a Tesla in the wild today. Beautiful cars. - TWuG Dec 4, 08:19 14
- are they still that rare in some places? I see them pretty much daily around here - there are even a couple of the older roadsters around -- nm - decline Dec 4, 08:52 7
  - There's somebody near where I work that has one but that's the only one I've seen. - spamlet Dec 4, 09:01 5
    - Nope. Illinois has at least one showroom in Chicago. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 09:06 4
      - Uh, that shocks me. -- nm - spamlet Dec 4, 09:09 1
        
        There definitely is one. I've seen it. One of my friends actually has the Tesla, but I haven't been in it yet. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 09:31
      - They have a store in the mall downstairs. -- nm - Andie Dec 4, 09:06 1
        
        go testdrive! -- nm - decline Dec 4, 09:19
  - I've never seen one in the Springfield area. The one I saw today was in Urbana near UofI. - TWuG Dec 4, 08:54
- There's a showroom, much like the BMW one I spoke of in a mall setting. They even allow test drives. Im tempted. -- nm - budice Dec 4, 08:44 1
  - Yeah, lots of space in this mall. -- nm - Elwood Dec 4, 08:46
- I heard if you can catch one, they will stay with you forever. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:23 3
  - I heard if you get run over by one, it's meant to bring bad luck (for the person getting run over). -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:25 1
    - I could see that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:26
  - I wish it were that easy. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 08:24
willgroinyevergettoplayDestinyagain.com -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 08:16 10
- 404 error. Page cannot be found. - oblique Dec 4, 08:22
- ou see what happens when you're on playing the wrong game?!!? -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:18 1
  - *sigh* See bery, this is one of the things I was talking about. #BuildaBiggerBox -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:18
- You see what happens when you're on the wrong console?!!? -- nm - Shaun Dec 4, 08:17 6
  - Since you mentioned it, I just looked. I have 3 exotics fully upgraded and 8 I'm working on. -- nm - David Dec 4, 08:55 5
    - 3 weapons and 1 armour item. I have 4 that I'm working on iirc. -- nm - Shaun Dec 4, 09:00 4
      - Oh, if we include finished armor, I add 7 more completed ones. - David Dec 4, 09:04 1
        
        I have 3 more exotic pieces of armour in my vault, but they are not in play right now, so I didn't count those. -- nm - Shaun Dec 4, 09:10
      - but you can only use one at a time??? -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 09:03 1
        
        1 weapon and 1 piece of armour. I also have 2 active characters now. You still need to be well-stocked on legendary items, weapons more so than armour -- nm - Shaun Dec 4, 09:07
After googling, the only way I would know Andrew Scott is as "guy on the beach" in Saving Private Ryan. - David Dec 4, 08:15 14
- I wouldn't know him by name but (Moriarity from Sherlock) is all I needed to think brilliant casting. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:16 13
  - And seriously, watch Sherlock. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:17 12
    - We'll get to it at some point. -- nm - David Dec 4, 08:21 11
      - All kidding aside, this is the biggest fail I can give you. - Spawn Dec 4, 08:23 10
        
        I just don't like that dude. Meanwhile, Elementary is immensely satisfying. -- nm - David Dec 4, 08:27 9
        
        You're allowed to love both. -- nm - LMS Dec 4, 08:34 5
        
        I used my other love on Young Sherlock Holmes. -- nm - David Dec 4, 08:56 3
        
        He's got a cameo in our old Sherlock Holmes film (Mr Holmes) -- nm - LMS Dec 4, 09:05 2
        
        I actually googled him last month to see what he's been doing. - David Dec 4, 09:12 1
        
        Your love is cheap. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 09:13
        
        At least now I know why David does not love me. - Spawn Dec 4, 08:47
        
        The show being my intro to him might have helped but even if I did not like him, I would love the show. - Spawn Dec 4, 08:32 2
        
        Actually, I've quite liked what they've been doing with Elementary in the last few episodes. - Beryllium Dec 4, 09:05 1
        
        As I said, I gave it up after the way the did The Woman. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 09:07
