    Original Far Cry was awful is almost every way. The graphics were about the only thing it had going for it.

    I really need to pick up all the Bond movies, I love them all so dearly.

    I want them on Blu-ray but that would be such an expensive undertaking at the moment. I currently only have Casino Royale.

    They don't have all of them on Blu-ray. Only the ones with Craig in them. The rest come in DvD sets.

    Nah, they pretty much all are.

    Oh shit! When did this happen!?

    Far Cry 2.

    Terribly anticlimactic.

    Is it just me or is this game just slow as fuck? I tried getting through it and got to the second 'zone' I guess you would call it. Fuck it, too slow. "Go to the other side of the map, kill 5guys and blow up this thing."


    yet to get there I have to hop on a bus, clear 4 random agressive watch posts with a huge aggro radius, go to the gun shop to exchange my worn down weapons, and then beat the mission and then drive back with every guard post respawned...


    It takes like 2 hours to do a mission... :|

    I'm scared to mention Back to the Future III in here.

    I mean, I love all three films.

    But it's just so weird to me that after three movies of bitching about not fucking up space-time he would build another time machine for his family's own personal amusement. Sure, at the end of the first film regarding the letter he literally said "What the hell", but after that he becomes pretty adamant on the stance that time is not something that should be fucked with and that the DeLorean should be destroyed.

    Maybe he figured that it didn't matter as much, considering he continued to live in the old West, and even started a family there.

    I'd agree right up until the last two, when it looks like he's finally picked out the art of writing epilogues longer than half a sentence.

    World Is Not Enough theme is definitely the best part of the movie.

    I actually like the Tomorrow Never Dies song, too.

    Live and Let Die is great. So great that I hear it on the radio at least twice per work shift.

    You Only Live Twice is my favorite by far, because Nancy Sinatra.

    You Only Live Twice was such a good movie and Nancy Sinatra was just the icing on the fucking cake!

    yesssssss

    I love that movie so much

    Almost as much as From Russia With Love

    But it didn't have as awesome a theme song

    I hated the ending of God of War 2.

    Not for the game itself, mind you, I just hated being left with a cliffhanger that requires me to buy a new console if I ever want to continue.

    well, they were able to pump two full seasons of hour-long episodes out of two and a half hours of source material, which is pretty impressive.

    I think they got the cart before the horse a bit, though. They let the main storyline die and then they wrapped up the plot of the ancillary characters afterward.


    Also the ending to BSG was great and I don't understand what people are bitching about

    I love how much they talk about Dalton when you watch the Fuzz-o-Meter. It hasn't made me enjoy The Living Daylights anymore than I did previously, but it did make me reconsider adding Dalton to my list of "Bonds who are Sexable," a decision which leaves Roger Moore alone, standing close to but not with George Lazenby.

    I say the ending because there was only one season, and it ended horribly before being cancelled by NBC forever.

    You can't go wrong with Goldfinger, Goldeneye, and Casino Royale.

    Basically just ignore all of Roger Moore.

    I like to complain about Quantum turning Bond back into the ultimate badass. In Casino Royale he felt the blows - he had to restart his heart after getting poisoned and after crashing his car and getting his boys whipped by a length of heavy rope he was in recovery for months. The fights had weight and you felt each blow.

    Suddenly in QoS he's fending off multiple enemies, rolling with punches and jumping out of exploding buildings. It's like they took a few steps back.

    I enjoyed Quantum of Solace, but after it ended I had a moment of, "Wait, what the fuck was that even about?" To be fair, I watched it during a ten-hour flight in coach, but I'm still not sure there was a decent plot hiding in between the ass-kickings.

    alright, here is what QoS was about:

    James is mad at everybody.

    He is not a 16 year old girl, so instead of cutting himself and listening to AFI he runs about the world and kills dudes.

    The end.
