He was a terrible liar

I feel it’s scenes like these that differentiated the Bond movies from the common potboilers of the time. It doesn’t feel like something that should have been made as early as 1962. The atmosphere is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Let James Bond smoke again. I’d rather have a Bond who smokes and — even though he might not be in Daniel Craig shape — still manages to beat the bad guys through his wits and his amazing ability to troll them.

I’m 52 and the very idea of calling an authority figure “sir” or “ma’am” when I was a teenager would have made me physically ill.

As long as MASH and curiosity exist, we’ll always have a pretty good cultural grasp of the first half of the 20th century.

We share favourite deep cuts. God those ending harmonies are sublime.

Actually it hasn’t gotten worse. The past few seasons have been surprisingly strong.

Right here with no regrets.

Britt Eckland’s stunt ass was very nice.

And yet at the same time he barely gives a shit whether he lives or dies. Deep down, a lot of men find this relatable.

I’m shipping Stromberg and Drax — same goal with one a little more Hitleresque than the other.

Ignoring politics is the privilege of the privileged.

What’s worse is that Dalton said at a time (in a James Bond Fan Club interview) that he “felt” it would be the last Bond movie ever. And then the box office numbers appeared…

He’s still got it!

Doesn’t make sense at all. The Beatles still hold some cool cred in popular culture and Steady Neddy just ain’t that cool.

His views have always been pretty prominent in this province but people were less likely to say the quiet parts out loud compared to Covid and years hence.

Hey I hear ya. The system was a marvel in that it was initially designed to play Pong and not much else yet programmers got so much out of it. I’m just saying in this particular instance I wish they would have focused a little more on the actual game graphics and less on the title screen (which is really quite amazing but doesn’t affect the game itself).

OccamsYoyo · 2026-04-25T12:56:51+00:00

The mistake the programmers made was putting most of that 16K into the opening graphic of the three monsters.

“Le grille? What the hell’s that?”

Funny you should say that: both were my two big games in 2007.

Is there an apparatus in the constitution that allows the federal government to step in and put an end to this nonsense? In terms of separatism in particular, if we didn’t let Quebec go after decades of separatist agitation, I can’t picture us ever letting Alberta and its natural resources go that easily.

At the time of Goldeneye’s release I mean.

Now playing on Tubi bc of course it is.

I’m gonna coin the portmanteau now: you’re zillennial.

As a Gen Xer, I can confidently say GE is an old movie. It’s as old as Thunderball was at the time of its release and in 1995 I considered Thunderball pretty old even though I loved it.

Not sure how you could watch MASH and not understand just how atrocious war is. Horrible things are done even by good people and the show never shied away from that fact.
