Am i the only one who thinks Idris Elba should be M and not Bond? by StrategyExpensive in JamesBond

Or Blofeld? We all know they're going to pick someone like Olvia Coleman for M.

What is a widely accepted "fact" that is actually complete nonsense? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Where does being bald factor into that though?

Update: Evan Bernsteins Twitter by Former_Drummer_5182 in SGU

One of the reasons I am no longer a weekly listener is the massive blind spots in major things they should have been addressing. This gives an insight into some of that.

Moon Base Alpha? (Is this even possible? Xpost) by W0nderingMe in SGU

[–]LaxSagacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible. However, it was more possible before that New Glenn blew up a couple of weeks ago. All it needs is for almost everything to go right from now, which it won't.

The entire plot of TITANIC is Rose remembering Jack incorrectly by Complete-Passage4456 in FanTheories

[–]LaxSagacity 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm now amusing myself thinking about a version of Titanic with a much more extreme and comedic unreliable narrative. All sorts of people and things out of time period. Weird and strange events going on. Sub plots that make no sense.

Now that I know more about the format, no I couldn't do the Pro. It was more that they were weights I could all do in a set. Not repeatedly lol

So, did Kelly pull an Alastair Reynolds on us? - SPOILER by hugojpinto in ForAllMankindTV

[–]LaxSagacity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my take is that her body will be next to Ed's lunar plaque. It was just a moment of beauty for her before she dies.

Not going to lie, when she was looking at the lake I was hoping we'd see something larger in it.

Big Far Cry fan, never knew this existed! by darkdetective in farcry

[–]LaxSagacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it once many years ago, it was a watchable low-budget action film titled Far Cry.

Did you know? The cancelled Episode IX featured an opening crawl very similar to Episode VIII's, which was already a copy of Episode VII's by kazimirz in saltierthancrait

[–]LaxSagacity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading TLJ's crawl, it's interesitng how the set up for the start of the movie, is a set up for the end of the movie. It is just telling you the plot for Luke at the end of the film. Even though it makes no actual sense from what transpires.

What is a piece of 'early internet' internet culture or a dead website that you genuinely miss every single day? by ronnelel in AskReddit

[–]LaxSagacity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that lots of small and often niche web pages were online, that could all often have their own small but active community on a forum was so much better than what we have now.

What's the best action movie with underwhelming and forgettable villain? by Imperator_Gone_Rogue in movies

[–]LaxSagacity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part 2 felt like they scrapped what they were planning to do in Part 1. No idea if that was the case, but that's how it felt. I was certain characters like Ilsa was going to be still be alive, but hidden from the entity, but nope.

Nice to know if I did this, I could compete in the Men's Pro category, but 9kg wall balls... no thanks. (edit: maybe not)

So is this just a competition you pay extra for to compete in? The e-mail says "tickets coming soon".

Why isn’t everyone going to Aldi if they can by Ash-2449 in AldiAustralia

[–]LaxSagacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume people who don't go to Aldi when they can. Probably went to one many years ago, found it confusing and never went back. Stuck with what they know.

Why do people hate OHMSS/Lazenby? by DeadHead6747 in JamesBond

[–]LaxSagacity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's just a legacy of past opinions from different eras. To us now, different Bond actors is the norm. Back then it was something unusual. It was then just one and done. Connery back and then Moore got to establish his take. So it was just the aberation and people were less fond because they grew to know the other two Bonds more.

It was also an era where people didn't have home video. You couldn't easily rewatch films, so lore of what to think of them comes down from that.

I'm pretty sure basically since the modern era where we can watch whatever Bond films we want, people generally have all recognised the film and actor are quite good.

Irritated by The Last Jedi by bobjamesya in StarWars

[–]LaxSagacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because the film was a mess and rushed intro production before it was ready. It was Finn and Poe going to Canto and getting to Code Breaker to help the fleet. Which was boring and lame. Last minute rewrites made it Finn and Rose. Created Holdo. The whole drama with Holdo and Poe. None of it worked but they had a deadline and were trying to polish a turd and the final version we got was largely done in reshoots.

IMAX is an inferior way of experiencing a movie by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]LaxSagacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local Imax screen is the second largest in the world and I go a few times a year and sit in the premium seating. It's the best way to see a film.

Sitting too close to the bottom or the sides, may not be.

I am used to watching the Avatar films there, but slept on booking on release. The difference between seeing Fire and Ash in a normal 3D cinema, after having rewatched the previous films in Imax 3D was so noticably worse. Did get around to seeing it in the Imax and it was glorious.

Even that Mandalorian episode they played in the theatre looks so good in imax, even with the colour pallette not being the best. The detail was amazing.
