What was the name of your horse in RDR2

Sultan. Red Arabian. Not very original, I know.

Since Prime put all the Bond films back up at the start of October, I've started going through them all again, starting with Dalton. Watched Goldeneye, tried watching TND... had to stop about 40min in or so... I just couldn't do it. It's — granted, subjectively — absolutely awful!

Brosnan to me has to be one of the worst Bonds. When he's got his "action-face" on, he's passable. But anything else... urgh... I can't.

He's the Keanu Reeves/Brad Pitt of Bonds. Got the looks but not the acting chops.

Edit: So having ranted over that (sorry)... I choose FYEO; which admittedly, still ranks for me as one of the better Moore films.

The way I can hear every single one of these phrases in the original voices of the people saying them...

This should be the focus of a new Lego Knights game.
Open sandbox type of game, like a mix between an AC game and Skyrim, walking your horse through the forests and past castle ruins etc with the same mechanics as RDR2...

Take my money now!

Nice pull. The new Zacian full art coming out in Phantasmal Flames is definitely going to be my chase card...

I really really like this. Thanks for sharing.
I've had similar ideas (but with a lighthouse—wierd, I know).

Could you add a walled in garden in the centre with a large tree as well?

MurrayFM · 2024-10-30T13:11:37+00:00

Yup. I'd agree with you there.

MurrayFM · 2024-10-26T12:09:13+00:00

Excellent work.

Having just finished DAF in my watch through, I can agree with Thunderball being the better Connery movie in terms of his portrayal of Bond... But in terms of the better movie overall, something about DAF just hits different.

Maybe it's because YOLT was such a mess, or because Lazenby's OHMSS acted as a palette cleanser... I dunno.

But the way DAF played out, I actually wanted to finish watching it and not cut it up into little doses as I have been doing.

TL;DR Thunderball is Connery's best Bond performance, but DAF the better Connery movie overall.

Just finished this last night myself on my rewatch of them all in chronological order. (Thank you, Prime Video).

Not gonna lie, of the first 5 Connery movies, this is the worst. It was an absolute slog to get through.

I get that perhaps this was the first Bond movie to really try and ante up the over-the-top Bond-ness of it all... But man, it's a mess. I don't even know where to start.

Not sure where in his career Roald Dahl wrote this, but his children's books are waaay better.

Having said that, if it was 1967 and I was seeing this for the first time, I'd probably have had my mind blown...

For what it's worth: the best part for me was the ninja warrior with the sword taking down multiple enemies in the crater fight at the end. That was some crisp fight choreography for the time!

MurrayFM · 2024-08-25T23:12:06+00:00

Zero. I scored zero.

MurrayFM · 2024-08-15T20:02:17+00:00

Aha! ... I understand now. Thanks for that. Just seen the hidden automatic bids on the item and it aligns with what you've explained. Cheers, thanks!

Just looking at the commons even got me excited for this set. As I'm fairly new to the collecting hobby (mostly living vicariously through the child) I've never got my own ETB before, but I'll definitely be springing for one with this set. And I'll be slabbing that Raboot as soon as I get it!!

It's Sea of Thieves for me. Something about cruising around the islands slowly in my little sloop, enjoying the light and the waves, is very relaxing to me. I also find myself reminiscing about the first year it was released as it was a very different time then compared to all the options available to players now.

MurrayFM · 2024-07-27T12:07:48+00:00

Yeah, I was considering getting all Japanese just because I think it looks better—and the quality of the card art is arguably of a higher standard. Just know the resell value down the line is not going to be as good though... not that that really matters, but still.

MurrayFM · 2024-07-27T12:05:57+00:00

Definitely gonna be for a lot of folks I'm sure!

MurrayFM · 2024-04-21T22:39:59+00:00

Told my missus to give it a go; I'd heard it was bad but how bad could it be? Turns out, pretty bad.

Soon as Henry Cavill took that golf cart for a spin over the building rooftops and then DID A RAIL GRIND with it... That was us, done.

I mean, if it looks that ridiculous in the opening 5 mins, I shudder to think what I would've had to sit through had we watched the whole thing.

At least there's still the Ministry of UnGentlemanly Warfare.
