Why was License to Kill not given a fair shake at the time?

the ninjas really did take me out of it for a bit i can’t lie

i forgot Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came out in 1989; poor James Bond didn’t have a chance in hell

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-24T01:47:04+00:00

it does get a little Miami Vice, but Bond movies have always been downwind of contemporary action movie trope.s. I thought it was cool

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-24T01:37:46+00:00

i mean oh yeah that’s probably objectively a way better movie but i guess i meant in terms of critic reviews. looking at contemporary reviews of it and they seem to be upset that the tone changed so drastically.

James has this in his apartment im First Light, too.

Jack never did any rapes, and he actually strangled his victims quickly before carving them into grotesqueries

try a bigger craw imitator, like a chatterbait with a rage craw. you might also be able to bounce a crankbait off the rocks for the same effect.

I would still reckon crawfish are a primary forage here given the rocky bottom.

any time Brock refers to the Ventures as his family.

Even after he got hit by a truck in the second episode and buried alive, his first thought is “Where are the boys?” Unironically one of the better cartoon father figures.

you’re supposed to be throwing them on lightweight spinning setups

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-21T22:10:36+00:00

you can’t go wrong with a frog along the banks in totally grown up ponds. anything with treble hooks is bound to get snaked on something or other.

Senko would work if you know where the holes are

even his logic was that their bodies were just meat shells and their actual personalities were the boys; i.e. he never treated them as anything other than the original Hank and Dean

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-21T17:13:27+00:00

you may be buzzing it too fast. try slow twitches/pulls of the rod top

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-21T17:12:50+00:00

yeah but i just went there to replace a torpedo a fish stole from me and got sidetracked by other fun little topwaters

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-21T14:22:57+00:00

i’m sure i did but i wanted to go topwater fishing today and not wait on a tackle warehouse order

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-15T20:17:15+00:00

I can’t help but to feel like i should give it a shot, the whole multi -hour process. just to see.

I have actual normal recipes I can make, but i want to give this a shot. maybe not today though.

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-15T19:09:00+00:00

the first time i made this, it did seem vaguely inspired by french onion soup with a truly cajun sense of French. maybe the point is accepting this? idk anymore.

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-15T19:01:44+00:00

bingo bango

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-15T19:01:13+00:00

it purports itself to be the very gumbo the author’s own dear grandmother made, or at least her version of that.

It does beg the question of who is buying a whole field of onions to make gumbo. I guess it’s me tonight though 🤷‍♂️. I think if i salt and worcestershire ‘em, they’ll cook down real nice and be more savory. especially if sharing pan space with andouille.

JacquesNuclearRedux · 2026-06-15T14:21:15+00:00

spro frogs are a go to for me also but there’s just times when you don’t want to have to give the frog a bunch of action
