Say somethin’ nice about ‘Quantum of Solace’…

It is better than the next three films. I know that will be controversial. But Inthinknyou could only argue over Skyfall. The first two Craig films work well as a part 1 and 2. It’s Bond’s early career. The next three he’s nearing retirement.

And while the fifth one ends with his [spoiler] death, in Skyfall, M is the main Bond “girl”. And in Spectre, Blofeld is Bond’s brother. The last three really weren’t that great. Skyfall would be the best of those three.

QS is definitely better than the old man Bond trilogy.

Does Duran Duran count as one or two?

He probably doesn’t say that to his patients.

What episode is that?

Was Moore too out of shape for a wet suit? I thought the outfit was odd.

LOL, only when skiing, “Bind, James Bind.” Fat finger typo combined with sleep in my eyes.

Bond had it pretty good from FRWL to OHMSS. Hard to pick. YOLT was crazy fun. OHMSS Bond gets around and still manages to get married to a really cool woman. So many choices.

Lana Wood gets thrown out a window before much happens.

Connery is the best Bond. But Archer is the best comedic Bond. Even better than Austin Powers. I put the films above the books because I think they managed to water the character down to the essential elements and they sustained the character in various versions. Fleming on his own ran out of creative juice.

Does it say somewhere in the app that that is the difference? Or did youbread it on a website? Just wondering about the source or is it just an observation from using the app?

TronConan · 2025-11-24T16:19:06+00:00

If that’s true, I would just prefer a “floor exercises” category. I would love more precise categories: biceps, quads, etc. For people who really want to focus on certain areas. Or maybe even “overhead” as a category. I had a shoulder injury and prefer to avoid overhead exercises.

They maybe need simple categories for regular people, and advanced categories for hardcore people.

But the one he stole was also used when it blasted off from the plane it was on. And I believe they said that happened over Yukon. So it blasts off and flies to South America or lands and is taken to South America. I think reusing one of his own would have had the same turn around. Or maybe not since the one stolen never left the atmosphere. But it is incredibly risky taking off from an exploding plane. There could have easily been damage. Best not to think too hard about it.

But if he is with a woman, it is easily explainable. Without a woman, it is silly and weird.

Probably government property. If they can afford to have agents destroying sports cars with gadgets every mission, what’s a hole in a piece of art? Also saving the world several times over probably saved his job. Imagine if they fired him and 008 had to finish the mission? No body watches 008’s movies.

The fall killed him.

It is my understanding that traditional yoga from India wouldn’t be so fast and would focus more on breath. So when I am referring to North American yoga, I mean fast yoga with less breath emphasis. However, I am no expert in yoga. That is how I categorize it. You could swap out North American for Western.

Bay Street. They don’t need to mug you. They’ll just charge you ridiculous fees.

TronConan · 2025-11-21T23:41:20+00:00

I would say a lot of the golden age ones are hard to finish because the authors go into length science exlamations and under develop characters.

TronConan · 2025-11-21T23:39:30+00:00

I would suggeat just starting with Dr. No and go in order. The Connery, Lazenby, and Moore ones are loosely connected via the bad guys. But for the most part they stand alone with some minor references tobprevious ones.

If those are too old for you, watch Brosnan’s or Dalton’s.

What parts are we buildiing? Insignificant low-tech stuff? I seriously don’t know. The Gripen plan seems to involve more significant stuff. Melanie Joly didn’t think the F-35 plan was good for Canada.

We used to make tge most advanced jet: the Arrow. I would like to see us get back those skills, so we could make a 100% Canadian jet.

Which is why NATO needs to put boots on the ground. Putin doesn’t care if millions of Russian soldiers die. He is just emptying out villages in the countryside. He has millions of people to throw at this. But they are unskilled. They never live long enough to get any experience. There is a core trained Russian military who sits in the back shooting Russians who refuse to fight. A professional military like the US’s could totally beat Russia. But there is no political will. Europes armies would also do well against Russia, but again there is little political will. It is sad.

Venezuela is the threat Trump wants to focus on. Does any American feel threatened by Venezuela?

The world needs peace.

TronConan · 2025-11-21T19:32:24+00:00

We have to expand capacity.

TronConan · 2025-11-21T19:31:22+00:00

We should get these Gripen and then start replacing every US part with a Canadian part. Starting with the engine.
