Sam's Thread of Movie Lists and Chit Chat (w/Jake)

I like Die Another Day. It's one of my favorites.

Die Another Day... knows what it is, which is much more than I can say for Spectre.

If somebody tells you the Dalton Bond films are better than conventionally thought, don't listen to them, it's a cruel trick.

Second season of Luke Cage got REALLY fucking redundant from episode 10 and on.

Please marvel. Get the season length thing down.

You'd like think they'd learn after the... fourth time? Fifth time? The first season of Daredevil is the only one that's come close to justifying the length, and it could probably still have lost an episode or two.

I'll fully admit I like Die Another Day a lot because it's the second Bond movie I ever saw, the first being The World Is Not Enough which I found to be occasionally boring, what with its plot that didn't involve hovercraft chases, face switching, invisible cars, hotels made of ice, or Halle Berry in the orange bikini.

Same, though it was my first Bond movie. Looking back it's not great, but there's always something cool in a Bond movie.

I think License To Kill is really good though. It's very different, but that's why I like it and it plays more to Dalton's strengths than The Living Daylights, which sucks IMO.

If anyone loves terrible/awesome films, one of my favourites has been returned to YouTube. Miami Connection (1987) is about a rock and roll band comprised of martial artists who challenge a motorcycle gang of drug dealing ninjas. Aside from the prologue, does not take place in Miami. The film was panned when it was released in 87, and remained pretty much unseen until it was given a proper release in 2012.

Trailer (though if you don't need any more convincing beyond "terrible/awesome films", please don't watch it and enjoy the full film on YouTube) :

Click for Spoiler:

Fans of Far Cry: Dragon Blood may remember some of the music from this film, as Far Cry used some of the original tracks from the film.

Looks pretty good I think

Has anyone seen the new trailers from Comi-Con? Namely Aquaman, Shazam, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. They all look awesome as hell.

Re-watched LTK today, and I can confirm. Robert Davi is great, as is his character, a paranoid, threatening and yet charismatic drug lord.

I'm interested in Shazam. I'll see Aquaman and Godzilla out of my commitment to always remain part of the zeitgeist. Mind you, I still haven't watched Justice League.

Stopped watching after Daredevil Series 2. Too much to sift through for my liking. The boring outweighs the good.

And this is the reason i cant get into the Marvel Netflix stuff.
