    Brosnan shows strong glimpses of it too in Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough in his killing of Dr Kaufmann and Electra in cold blood respectively (dropping Trevelyan in Goldeneye may also count).
    Dalton was closest to Fleming's vision (and I like Dalton's portrayal, I like them all except Lazenby), but I can't really get behind that interpretation of Bond turning on the charm in the movies, it seems a little manufactured. What's more, I think writing a protagonist for a movie is different from writing a protagonist for a book, a lot of nuances can get lost in translation, which means some concepts get simplified. And the series, for all its pros, isn't known for having exceptionally complex characters, so some things have to be made more obvious (although the Moore era did take far too many liberties, just look at that jungle scene in Octopussy.)

    I'd say it's overhated, but it is a complete mess with more than a few missed opportunities. The stuff with the Sandman is really good for what it's worth.

    I've got a couple I've been thinking about lately...

    - Michael Keaton > Christian Bale as the best Batman. Just my opinion..

    - Rouge One was decent - at best. Wasn't the biggest fan at all when I first saw it. Then after seeing it a couple of times later, I thought it was better than my first time viewing it. But, it's still just okay to me.

    - Michigan's '97 football team would've gotten destroyed by Nebraska's '97 team had they played.

    - 2001 Miami (FL) football team was great, but I consider them to be the 2nd best college football team behind Nebraska's 1995 team.

    (No, I'm not a Nebraska fan)

    - The two COD Modern Warfare games are much better than the Black Ops series.

    Oh yeah the Venom thing was a mess but I liked Sandman and the Harry Osbourne plots

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Dark Knight trilogy suck as Batman movies. Great movies in their own right but suck as Batman movies.

    Certain dog breeds are dangerous and shouldn't be around children. Come on PETA nutjobs, let's have it....

    I'm not a Peta nutjob but I'll have a go.

    What breeds and how are they inherently dangerous?

    This is nonsense. They are movies that revolve around the story of Batman. They are good movies. Therefore they are good Batman movies.

    Batman is the subject of a movie, not a genre.

    I will say if a Dog isn’t taught well or doesn’t have a good owner then some breeds maybe more likely to grow up vicious (only because those breeds are often mixed with the bad environment like the pitbull, you don’t see golden retrievers or poodles in the Hood) but id never say it’s a dog breed. I’ve had 4 Rotties and never have any of them attacked or even made someone worried that they would attack them. I know there are different breeds out they but usually Rotties get a bad name because of their strong jaw. I will say though if a Dog is played with, taken for a walk (socialised) and only scolded for stuff that it knows not to do, not just because it wasn’t sitting down straight away or whatever, then the dog will never be dangerous. That’s my experience with dogs.

    I add to the thread though and say people are required to go to atleast a 2 hour show on how to treat your dog properly and you should also have a license to get a dog to prove you can be a responsible pet owner. Too many people are buying dogs and don’t treat them at all how they should be treated, or people will get them for a year and because they’re not doing what you want them to or you want to move towns and don’t take their dogs with them. I understand for some circumstances why people leave their pets but I would say over 50% of people have just gotten rid of their pets because they didn’t look 5 minutes into the future. If you’re thinking fuck that, I’m not taking a 2 hour class for a license, then you don’t really want a dog very bad do ya? It’s 2 hours of your life to help the rest of your life.

    As someone who has never seen a Zaxby's before in his life, I cannot comment on how good they are. Are they a fast-food place like Chick-Fil-A (who has wonderful chicken sandwiches, the best biscuits in all of fast food, and terrible politics?) or more of a restaurant?

    And in regards to the second half of your statement, there can be zero truth to that, as unless the IHOP chicken tenders are wrapped in pancakes they do not exist. The restaurant is called International House of Pancakes, not International House of Chicken Tenders.

    Batman is inherently silly. The Dark Knight trilogy was basically James Bond/Jason Bourne movies with a guy in a tech suit fighting terrorists.

    I'm not saying they're bad movies. They're great movies, but as Batman movies they're bad. It's akin to how Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a great film but a poor adaptation of the source material.
