I thought it was quite good, but also flawed. It felt quite anticlimactic actually, especially with the last big set-piece, since it didn't feel like there was much at stake, and Quantum still seems to be about at the end. The action was good, but yeah, edited confusingly at times(the bit at the opera most of all).
Something I didn't really get though was why Bond just lets M think he's a rampaging psycho. He never stops to explain what happened, and at one point doesn't even deny killing someone he didn't! I also don't think they really explained why M is "when you can't tell friend from foe it's time to go home" one minute and "He's my agent and I trust him!" the next. Though overall it seems like it's brought closure to the origin and from here on, it'll get on with new stories (though probably with Quantum as a recurring threat).

Holy shit, thanks for the heads up, Lucky. This will make a fantastically cheap gift for the PMD. I can't believe they're letting this boxed set go for $70!

A Deadpool movie?! Oh thank you God!

Really, they're doing you a favor.

We missed this one in the theatres, and just saw it last night, too. Some really funny stuff. Jason Segel can totally pull off a comedic leading man, which I was a bit skeptical about, since I've only ever seen him in supporting roles.

Anyone else addicted to this show??? Random sex, drugs, booze, Natascha McElhone (my MILF) -- what's not to love?

Anyone still watching Fringe? I can't decide if I like it or not.

We discovered the series just after it was announced that it had been canceled. I have since bought AA every episode on DVD, and it's some of the best television I have seen. The movie may suck and totally jump the shark, but I'll be Netflixing it.

But they are at least not coming to blow...

Pudum pum...

What the hell is going on in here? Like movies based on board games suddenly suck? Have we all forgotten:

I rest my case.

This is going to be awesome squared.

Actually it was budgeted at $209M. It wasn't a financial failure, it was just a disappointment domestically because it failed to hold up against the summer blockbusters. It owes its financial success to (a) opening early to avoid the blockbusters and (b) getting a lot of iMax screenings. Ultimately the studio heads are just admitting that the film failed to have legs. It made half its money in the US in Week 1 and was out of the top 10 by Week 5. It had no legs. They wanted a smash hit and huge summer blockbuster. They wanted The Dark Knight or even Iron Man. They at least wanted a film that could hang with Dead Man's Chest. In that regard the movie failed.

Its like this. If the Devil Wears Prada manages to beat you in Week 6 for both of you then you did something wrong.

And their decision to reboot seems to be rooted in their own opinion of the story and not the financial gains. They seem to believe as much as I do that Superkid, creepy stalking Superman, and giant Kryptonite island were crap and want to erase it. And considering they were already trying some weird thing where they considered the film a sequel of films people liked but not including the stuff they don't it was pretty screwy already. That the film clearly didn't have a huge impact on the box office was a good enough reason for them to toss all that shit out the window and start fresh as they've seen how successfully that approach worked from Batman.

All in all I just think the studio people thought Superman Returns sucked as much as I did. They didn't screen it, they opened it early to avoid competing with Dead Man's Chest, and they made last minute cuts to the film that wasted a lot of money. The movie was a mess from a production perspective.

And it really was a piece of shit. God I hated that movie.

Dice to Andrews still up and adding Edward Norton to Art Carney

It's not raunchy for the sake of raunchy. It's raunchy for the sake of funny.

Variety reported this too, and their description of Preacher is hilarious

I think that Beyoncé would be a good choice to play Laura Charles.

And check out how good Busta Rhymes did playing Sho in his Dangerous music video... The scene starts at about 1:50.

I saw Billy Idol about 3 years ago in Toronto under the same circumstances, Thai. Small club, about 100-150 people.

He put on a great show. Sneering the whole time. You could tell that he totally doesn't take himself seriously and the was playing the role that was expected of him. It was a blast.

I just watched Ep 2 of this new season, and I've just gotta say... HOLY SHIT. These writers REALLY know how to write a story.

I can't wait for more Dexter!

That's an exalt

RIP

He was also great in The Sting.
