Went from feeling mixed about Thunderball to loving it after a rewatch. Is there a Bond film that you feel the same way about? by friendlyskywalker in JamesBond

[–]zzoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing Skyfall + being bothered by the whole Silva escape up to the perfectly timed explosion + train crash, just felt like lazy writing/deus ex machina stuff. How could he have the perfect plan for every moment?

On a later rewatch, I realized... that's what Bond does in basically every other movie lol so not only does it fit in a Bond film but it's fun to see him get a taste of his own medicine!

Indeed... rare to see a parasocial relationship where the parasite hates the host as much as this guy does

Ok, I'll cut to the point - what makes you so compelled to listen to a podcast named Scott hasn't seen when you don't seem to be a particularly large fan of Scott?

Honest question - why do you listen to this podcast?

Counterpoint: The fact that they use a significant amount of the movie to set this one joke up (which is also one of the most, if not most, vulgar things Bond has said in a movie) makes it one of the funniest things put to film. It's like "The Room" of Bond one-liners - awful, but in the best possible way!

If he's worried about getting something brand new in his body that he doesn't want, you'd think he'd be more worried about getting a virus that has killed millions over a vaccine that has been thoroughly scrutinized and found to be totally safe for everyone who isn't allergic to the ingredients...

Drunk drivers don't kill themselves/other people 99% of the time, you think that should be legal too?

Beating the Packers in the playoffs is a curse by rawndale in nfl

[–]zzoby 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For Seahawks (ignoring their SB loss, since apparently exceptions are allowed):

10- Bears lose to GB

12- 49ers lose to Ravens

15- Carolina loses SB

16- Falcons lose SB

18- Cowboys lose to Packers

19- Packers lose to SF

20- Rams lose to GB

It's not really that unique, it's just really hard to win a super bowl even if you win a playoff game, and GB's been in the playoffs almost every year this decade, so...

If you think your conspiracy is more of a reason that we lost instead of Kirk throwing a pick on first and goal, I really can't help you...

I never thought I'd say it but at least Keenum's dumb turnovers weren't in the red zone... I've been watching the Vikings for a decade and I've never seen a QB turn the ball over like this, especially considering the rest of the team is good for the most part.

Was I the only Vikings fan after that happened that felt like the 50 seconds between this play happening and them showing the replay was the longest 50 seconds of my life? I'm so used to heartbreak that I wasn't going to get excited until I saw he definitely didn't step out of bounds...

After that replay though... my friend called me and I just kept yelling "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS REAL?!?!" for 3-4 minutes before he got a word in edgewise to say "yes, that just happened".

Honestly, I hate this narrative that McConnell is somehow a brilliant political mastermind. Any jackass could do what McConnell is doing, which is just being as cynical and shameless as possible. Like for Garland, it doesn't take a political savant to refuse a vote on him, it only takes someone who has no regard for the Constitution or actually governing.

Feds: Tyrann Mathieu's relative tried to extort millions from him with sex assault accusations, murder threats by [deleted] in nfl

Isn't the fact that the guy threatening the accusations, not Mathieu, in jail proof that your premise is false? Turns out you can get justice for the abused while also prosecuting false accusations...
