Basically the Dominion War and a Borg attack on Mars hosed up the Federation into becoming post-9/11 America.

Cacator posted:I would say the entire opening sequence is one of the best in the series. Then you can turn the movie off right when the song starts. Bond franchise has quite a lot of competition for the "great opening sequence, rest not so much" category - Tomorrow Never Dies is the one I always point to.

Knowing extremely little about it before renting it, I remember thinking that Die Another Day was going to be pretty sweet, since it opened with Bond being captured and tortured. I thought it was the pivot to the more self-serious Bond we'd get next with Casino Royale. Instead, that sequence was immediately followed by a wretched early-2000s Madonna song and an immediate pivot to "I shaved, time to go peep titties in Cuba" and then just kept getting worse and worse

I had somehow completely forgotten about Madonna's "Die Another Day" song and now I can't get it out of my loving head.

It's a movie with an albino assassin who has diamonds embedded in his face, and another villain who parties in a giant ice palace and needs treatments from a dream machine in order to stay sane(ish) - it was never supposed to be the serious Bond movie that a lot of people seemed to want it to be.

I heard it was trying to keep up with video game setpieces. The weaponised car duel certainly points to it. Skyfall definitely has the best finale of any Bond movie I've seen by basically inverting the typical formula. Also, it tries out Bond as Batman, and also Solid Snake.

It could've worked with some Bonds but not Brosnan. I just didn't buy it.

Yea the last 15 years or so haven't been great for her as a performer. I mean, she still brings in huge money so her career is fine but as a performer she's so clearly not what she used to be. At least from the few performances I've had a chance to see.

At least she's stopped kissing every female performer as soon as they break out as though she's attempting to suck the fame out of them.

I don’t like Spectre much at all, but to call it the worst Bond film makes me assume you have not seen enough Bond films Like Quantum of Solace is worse, and that’s just among Craig Bond movies. If I am picking the worst one overall it’s probably either Diamonds Are Forever or one of like 4 Roger Moore movies

My favourite part of that is the way that her management shared a fixed autotuned version of that with the media the next day, as if a significant chunk of humanity hadn't seen it happen live.

Pretending(?) to be bisexual is pretty quaint these days. If she's that starved for attention she needs to find herself a new trick.

I think it's worse than just being quaint, but even then I don't think she was pretending to be bi. Honestly the whole thing just came across as trying to be titillating and isn't really different than two drunk girls making out at a party to get dudes horny. It's not pretending to be bisexual because there's no element of "this is what I enjoy doing," it's entirely "this is what you enjoy seeing."

I fully support Madonna because one of her kids plays for my club and by all accounts he's gonna be good. Kinda sucks when she closes one of my favourite bars though.

At least we can probably count on Martin Campbell to make the next Bond film actually good because he seems to prefer doing the first entry with a new Bond, like Goldeneye and Casino Royale.

Alan Smithee posted:How old is Ellen Page rn Get me Ellen page on the phone I think Ellen Page hates that game because she was actually in that other one that came out at the same time and bombed and nobody really believes that Ellie's look wasn't inspired by her. I guess it's a good thing that Druckmann gets to work on it to keep it true to the game, but I'm curious how much in terms of dialogue and sequences will be pulled directly from it. As over used as the descriptor 'cinematic' is for games, TLoU really does follow so many cinematic conventions. This and Uncharted will both have the Tomb Raider problem of "iconic game based on iconic movies now feels derivative and boring."

It was nowhere near as bad as the goon buzz made it out to be. It wasn't great and I won't be able to play it again because I'm pretty sure nothing will actually change, but it was a fun enough time. I was not expecting Ellen Page to end up as a CIA wetworks agent who assassinated a person but I did enjoy having her turn down any heterosexual encounter because ELLEN PAGE DOESNT EVEN LIKE BOYS

David Cage has numerous interviews talking about how he used to keep books full of photos of her, and his entire studio recently managed to dodge out of several sexual harassment allegations via dubious means.
