GoldenEye is p painful to watch now [chat]

edited January 2022 in Debate and/or Discourse
I tried watching GoldenEye with my parents over christmas holidays, because it was on. I had to leave the room. It is very painful to watch.

It's terrible. It hasn't aged badly, that's not really a thing, it was always like this.

I was a kid when I saw it last, what's your excuse?

    and yeah, I'm making the chat OP about the stupid post I was going to make in the last thread I don't give a fuck


    as an aside: yes GoldenEye is how it is stylized, it is that 90s

    the entire sequence with Q is so wooden and stiff that you'd think you were watching one of those things where they've removed the laugh track to make it sound awkward

    Goldeneye (or GoldenEye) was and is awesome.

    I kinda like the idea of calling the James Webb Space Telescope the "Goldeneye."

    I mean, the eponymous satellite was essentially a giant EMP, if memory serves.. I'm sure the JWST can be used like that, right?

    Without Goldeneye the movie, there'd be no Goldeneye the N64 game, so even if it was the worst movie of all time it still gets a pass.

    Still lots of fun, Brosnan is still great, tank chase remains a classic. A bit short imo. It could have used an extra bit to really have Bond and Bean face-off more before the end sequence.

    It's also interesting in that it's made by the guy who did Casino Royale and really feels like it wants to be that kind of reinterpretation of the character but it can't quite escape the cheese.

    the design is a bit over the top for the death ray satellite

    Meanwhile the actual Goldeneye prop from the movie looks like something from Kerbal with the graphics turned down.

    Of course the characters in Goldeneye are stiff, they only get like, five polygons for their faces.

    Yes. Within the last two years. Goldeneye rules.

    Quantum of Solace sucks.

    Austin Powers 1 & 2 also rule.

    The Bourne movies (or the first three, anyways) are great and the first one still has some old-time charm to it

    Personally I think we left the cheese of the 70s and 80s when technology actually started catching up to and replacing all the goofy spy gadgets.

    Like you no longer needed a giant microphone and a 110 film camera and a car that shot rockets.

    You just needed your phone and a Walther PPK

    Bourne probably, Mission Impossible has also worked itself into a pretty great action movie franchise. From 3 on there really isn’t a bad MI movie.

    The MI movies are like the F&F movies where they started off in one direction and then just went batshit as they continued, and I love it.

    I have basically zero interest in bond

    by the time I was old enough to be cognisant of movies, there was already like 17 of them and they all felt the exact same

    I'm guessing the dividing like was 9/11 when spies / intelligence stopped being a kinda fun gentlemen's game where the stakes were big but not really anything real and instead became smaller scale but something to actually be afraid of and people started taking it as a serious scary threat not something goofy.

    I'm thinking the late-90's movies - Brosnan Bonds, Long Kiss, Broken Arrow, Peacekeeper, etc were the last of the movies that really felt like they had any 'fun' with terrorism.
