I like the new one Dead Reck, but Ghost Protocol probably.
And I think my favorite is either Fallout or Rogue Nation so yeah they all kick ass.
And I love John Woo and Limp Bizkit, so I don't give a fuck Part 2 is my jam too.
Brian De Palma >>>

Phillip Seymour Hoffman >>>

Yeah they’re all good
We're gonna have to buy one of those big ass Diddy freak off mattresses all these fools keep sleeping on this good shit.
Just say the word, El El Sucio, ohhhh!

Jason wrote: Wed Jan 01, 2025 7:04 pm Still haven't seen the newest Bond flick, but who is saying it went woke?
Your argument was that they wanted Bond to go woke and decided to kill the franchise because they don’t like the character. I didn’t say it was a coherent take.
Maybe I misworded it. I argued that instead of going woke or adding a female, they decided to kill the character
The majority of the movies have sucked for 50 years and the character has been portrayed differently many times.
I would say only five or so of them genuinely sucked. A few were mediocre and several were totally fantastic. The rest in between were good.
Six of the last eight were straight ass and I’m not even getting into some of the horseshit Roger Moore ones.
Haven't seen No Time, and of the 7 I've seen, 3 were ass (Quantum, Tomorrow, Madonna), 2 were godly, and the other two were ok.

I can't watch one without a marathon. And I'm willing to sit through the shit ones.

They take a toll on you though. It's the same story for the most part with fun twists and new henchmen. But it can be a chore to marathon.

Yup. Saw all the Connery and Moore ones countless times when I was younger and I’ve now seen all of them at least once.

I meant that any time I heard the title "Mission: Impossible" I thought it was one of the many James Bond movies. Only recently (this last year) did I realize that it's an entirely separate series. :P

I technically have - For Your Eyes Only - but with as much as I remember from it (which is shockingly little), I have difficulty counting it sometimes.

Jiggy has an encyclopediac knowledge of 1910s serials played in nickelodeon theaters that nobody else alive has seen and doesn’t know what Mission Impossible is. Sounds about right.

I've never seen a Bond or MI film either. Just never had an interest.
