Anyone else start a rewatch of the James Bond movies now that they are all on Netflix?

Been rewatching them in order from Dr. No to now being on Live and Let Die.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen them that I am basically watching with fresh eyes.

Gotta admit, Lazenby was actually pretty great in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. And Telly Savalas is excellent as Blofeld.

For pure camp, Goldfinger may be my favorite but OHMSS is probably second.

ETA: somehow it makes you a woke PC liberal, and also MAGA, because of course it does.

And don’t you forget it! :lol:

The HR chick from SNL is absolutely awful. Like "makes me want to not watch the show" awful. I don't even know why, she just is. And I even like the idea of an HR person trying to keep Cox in line. I think I just hate her face or something like that. But she made me want to punch my TV.

---

Easily the worst part of the show but I do think the idea is good. There was one bit she did that made me chuckle so hopefully they find her groove

quote:

actually like the dynamic of JD and Elliott being divorced, and that should make for some easy jokes. I wonder if they had kids (I don't think any were referenced last night).

---

I have mixed feelings about this one because it was such a huge part of the ending to the original run. Would rather they show them drowning in kid shite, but I guess Carla and Turk are doing that.

quote:

---

Seemed a little too easy for JD to simply be there for a day and then magically get the Chief of Medicine job. It's a sitcom, so whatever...but did he even give his current job any notice?

---

A bit easy, but Cox giving him his support probably swayed the board enough. And JD had his own concierge practice so the only one he needed to give notice to was himself really. I guess his client base may be fricked.

I did hate the two charge nurse people. It also sort of stood out to me how they were pushing gay shite (with the charge nurse and also the Asian doc).

---

Easily the second worst part of the show but luckily they were used sparingly. And yeah, the gay shite is annoying. Though I think the Asian guy is bi since he slept with both the guy and girl in the couple and broke them up.

quote:

---

found a lot of the jokes sort of weak, but they were also solid efforts. So I took that as something that will come around once the show falls into rhythm

---

The first episode really suffered from this and the second ep was better, imo. So hopefully you’re right. Two mediocre Scrubs episodes but undoubtedly Scrubs and not some other bullshite.

quote:

---

people forget Scrubs was getting 15 million viewers a night back in 2002. If they got 20% of that last night not counting streaming we are in luck. Fingers crossed.

---

They’ve done every press junket imaginable. Despite me not really knowing it was coming back until recently, it has been all over my algorithm

quote:

---

Jesus, I am aware. They damn near spell it out, ffs

So, you just don’t like the joke.

It’s still the Todd. He’s still a fricking dirty joke teller. But he badly couches his dirty jokes in caveats and HR speak, and you don’t like that because… anything different from the Todd circa 2005 is not ok with you? The fact that they’re calling out the rampant PC in today’s culture is unappealing to you because you are a massive liberal who loves PC culture? You were slapped in the face by PC culture recently and this portrayal of modern America stings you?

They lost 30% of their value in the last 6 months (nearly half in 12 months). No doubt they are going to increase AI but what the hell else is going on?

---

Investors are looking at AI and going, “Where’s the beef?” already.

I asked my nephew, 4 at the time, jokingly if he wanted to watch horror movies with me when he got older. His look of disapproval was shocking and he said “I want to watch happy movies about happy people.” To this day I’m still floored by that response

---

I generally feel the same as your then 4 year old nephew. Not a fan of horror and agony. Never have been. I get enough of that from the world.

But I still like Rambo and Terminator and James Bond. I wouldn’t use horror as a barometer.

Hockey has a couple things going that don’t work for it:

1. It is tough to get into as a kid, not just in the south but in much of the country. It’s expensive, requires ice instead of a field, etc. So people don’t know the rules and don’t have the interest.

2. Televised hockey is harder to follow because the puck is so small. For instance, I watched the Gold Medal Game with a couple of puckheads from the Northeast and their reaction to the winning goal was delayed by half a second because they couldn’t tell if we scored. I had thrown my hands up and cheered but they couldn’t tell we had won. As ragged on as the highlighted puck was back in the day, it did make the game easier to follow.

Another good one of these types of movies is Dan In Real Life.

A little less funny, a little more slice of life and tragedy, but still same vein.

Also Carrell.

Also really good.

Btw, clever of you to only mention the female full frontal nudity and not the random anonymous hotel gay sex

Better than the gay torture porn in season one of Outlander that scarred me forever.

Still better than AIC

Shut your whore mouth.
