    Out of interest, why would that bother you and not any of the other stuff?

    Because that is the only one that messes with the 'universe'. There is no explanation of the character (whether James Bond exists in the present, whether it's a codename, if Skyfall is the big reset) that justifies him having a tricked out sixties motor in his garage.

    You're more than likely right, it certainly sounded that way during Mendes's introduction speech at the cast and crew screening.

    Just a reminder for anyone that didn't know, Mahow saw Spectre at a private screening with an intro by Sam Mendes.

    Why couldn't they have given him that car?

    He didn't say anything like "Oh yeah, I remember driving this" did he? (Did he?)

    It used to work. But I find it bland and uninteresting these days. The concept has had its day, I fear.

    Based on what measure? If you're talking about popularity, they're arguably more popular than they've been since Connery was doing it. If you're talking about critical reception, Casino Royale and Skyfall were both very highly regarded, and that's as good a hit ratio as any previous point in the franchise.

    It's totally fine if they're not your bag, but I can't see the franchise showing any evidence of losing steam.

    Since all the films that DS recommended seemed so fucking scary, I ended up watching It follows instead, which was kind of shit really. I'm just not cut out for horror films. Have to read the whole plot in advance, and that usually just puts me off watching it when I see how horrible they are.

    The only two ones I've properly enjoyed were The Exorcist and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I also thought The Last Exorcism was sort of OK.

    Now the lady wants to watch this film called The Conjuring which I've very reluctantly agreed to

    Watch Grizzly Man about the mentalist and the bears.

    If only so you can listen to him getting eaten on YouTube even though the documentary leaves it out.

    I've always wondered what it would be like to be eaten by a grizzly. Now I know. It would be absolutely fucking horrendous as they make no attempt to kill their prey before tucking in. Plus they come back in drips and drabs for massive chunks. Also the silence is eerie apart from the human screams the bear just grunts in a low voice.

    We don't get to hear the girl getting chowed.

    Leaves a lot to the imagination, however if you watch the Indian farmer getting his face eaten alive by a brown bear it gives you a good idea of what was going on.

    This is all going to be used as evidence someday, isn't it.

    Why do you watch people getting eaten?

    Meh, I wouldn't really give it a second though, but when these lunatics want them re-introduced to Scotland I know exactly where I stand on the matter.

    Plus it also gives me the info I need to react if I was faced with that situation.

    I must have combined the fake audio with this: http://www.yellowstone-bearman.com/Tim_Treadwell.html

    Which I read after. Even though it says right at the bottom the audio is fake. It's not like me not to fully read something.

    There are about five different parts of this post which could be individually quoted for further 'What the fuck is wrong with you?'-material. It's "We don't get to hear the girl being chowed" particularly stands out though.

    EDIT: Lol'd at the post-opper post though. Fuck's sake. You have a way with words.

    Kajaki, or as it's apparently now known, Kilo Two Bravo, has to be the most tense film I've seen in years. Not an easy watch but definitely worth it.

    Just watched Lockerbie: My Brother's Bomber about a bloke who's brother was killed on Pan Am 103. He basically investigated it himself, not PI or anything just a regular bloke. Unreal the amount of info he managed to get, enough that as a direct result of the documentary the US government has managed to start questioning two key suspects in the case.

    Kenny MacAskill should be fucking ashamed allowing that cunt to go free.

    I know this discussion has its own thread now, but this is too lol to let go. Who, other than you, is citing fucking Cliffhanger as a classic?

    The new MIssion Impossible film is a bit rubbish, but the female lead is extraordinary.
