Brosnan was fine as Bond, he unfortunately had nothing but bad movies after Goldeneye
Do not have a cow, mortal.

I remember when they announced Brosnan my first thought was perfect! Then I watched goldeneye and while I enjoyed the movie, there was something about Brosnan that just didn't fit the part to me.
Get to work, go in the breakroom and theirs a Brosnan bond on.
Not sure which is worse, Pierce Brosnan as Bond or Denise Richards playing some sort of scientist disarming a bomb in a speeding tunnel.
I believe that is The World is Not Enough, Denise Richards plays a scientist named Christmas Jones and the movie ends with Bond making a joke about "I thought Christmas only came once a year."

Peter Venkman has degrees in psychology and parapsychology.
I can't speak for the psychology degree, but I always assumed the parapsychology degree was basically a sham (even he doesn't believe ghosts are real or anything until he actually sees one) and he only got it because it was easy to get and allowed him to conduct whatever goofball experiment he could come up with and make the university pay for it.

That list also lists Bill Murray's Peter Venkman as "miscast"
So I can't trust it entirely
They explain this though
They say he is super entertaining and wonderful but it is hard to see how he got through his PHD program
To be fair, this is late 70s/early 80s. Venkman could easily decide that getting into Psychology would be a great way to get cash (granted, huge upfront cost, but you sit in a chair and listen to people talk and they pay you!) and meet some women (either through the profession or because he'd be rich). Why he teams up with Stanz and Spengler in para-psychology is a bit of a mystery though (though probably because they were getting grant money for experiments he knew were not likely to work, so essentially free money and again, able to meet women).
I have certified bad opinions of Blade Runner. But it has excellent visuals.
I have no problem with people who dislike Blade Runner or 2001 for example, as long as they accept why they're hailed as masterpieces. Liking something and appreciating something can often be totally separate things.

The Onion just retweeted this AV Club piece into my feed, and I'm not even going to read it before linking because I am certain that this will be in it:

edit: third on the list. Nice.
thank you for your contribution to women's emancipation, Denise!
He was a fun character but he basically just grumbled a lot and killed people

It was playing as I was reading
