It says "James Bond will return" at the end of the credits??

Agree with @Stevo985 about the villains motivation. WTF? I'm going to kill the world because I like plants (or were they nano-bots - never quiet worked that out.) I thought the first half of the film was really enjoyable. A bit of camp comedy from a Daniel Craig Bond worked and the Cuban fight was choreographed brilliantly. The music and the movement was almost artistic! - Arturo Sandoval playing trumpet was a nice touch. Then alas the plot just fell apart which is fairly typical I guess for a Bond. I definitely got a pang of nostalgia at the end. I think maybe it's because we just associate Bond's with different parts of our life. Roger Moore as a kid, I remember going to see Brosnan in Goldeneye as a student in London. Oh well, weird that they actually killed him. They've never done that before. Tin hat on but I really hope they don't reboot Bond as a non-binary mixed race politically correct alien. I think theres much more room in the franchise to explore other double 0's rather than reinvent James Bond. Just my old man thought though.

Remi Malek has to be the luckiest actor ever. Landed a gem of a role in Mr. Robot, got cast as Freddie Mercury which was always going to be succesful now a Bond Villain! He's a pretty hopeless actor for the most part.

Playing Tosca right now with the Opera Company here in Colorado. My part is a bit of a snooze fest but I do get to listen to incredible music. Including 2 of Puccini's best arias, Visi d'arte & E Lucevan Le Estelle. Pavarotti at his absolute finest. No-one in the modern era can come close to his breadth of phrasing.

Seconded. wish they’d just release it all though - I hate this weekly episode shit

My uncle was in the same class as him During his wilderness years (before Page & Plant unplugged for MTV) he used to go The French Connection at the top of lower High Street in Stourbridge every Saturday and eat garlic bread and drink tea. My best mate worked there and said he was really boring. This was before the idea of re-becoming famous happened. It used to be once you had your time it was over. Now people seem to be famous forever even if the only good thing they did was over 50 years ago.

We going to win the World Cup aren't we?!

They might hit the spot. Ba dum tish

Wow - You must have been mooneying some of that! OT but I dealt with Gary Greenhoe as I used to play his horns. Complete nutcase - moved to another manufacturer after that. (maybe one for the boring thread....)

This may divide opinion.... something I don't get anymore. Violence in movies and TV. I used to watch anything and it would just wash over me. I wasn't squeamish in the slightest and I understood that any bloody gore was just make up and ketchup. I just didn't think about violence and it was just the "escape" of watching a tale that wasn't real. My wife however hates anything with violence and anger and once my so was born a few years ago I really didn't have time to watch much of anything on screen. Recently I've started watching a bit more TV and film, and boy oh boy why is everything so violent? Squid Game? WTF? Why do we want to watch this? I want to understand modern cultural references but this is just violence and anger and awfulness. Fortunately, there's no violence in my life and I don't want there to be. So why are we choosing (as a collective) to experience viewing these things? Squid Game is an international hit - what are we trying to explore to want to watch this stuff? Do we need a war to feel human in some weird way? Can we not accept a peaceful existence? Every show/movie seems to start with a death or a murder and it's become more and more graphic over the decades. The more twisted/weird the killing and death the more popular. Have I become precious/sensitive/uptight or a prude? Having not engaged with much visual media for a few years and recently getting back into it, the impression is that most of the stuff we are watching as a whole is not pleasant, and arguably not very healthy. Am I Mary Whitehouse suddenly? I want my kids world to be safe and healthy not filled with neurosis and dark murderous fantasies. The Purge??? 'kin 'ell!

Try watching "Dopesick" before you take any oxi-contin. In fact if they offer you any opioids for pain I would think long and hard about if you want to take them. Good luck with it all though and I wish you a speedy recovery. FWIW my 76 year old mother had them done and managed. She complained to high heaven constantly about it - but her nature by default is to moan about anything so hard to gauge how bad it actually was. Only English person I know who can go on holiday and whine that the sun is too hot

When a brand becomes "verbified." It's the holy grail for brands. People used to Xerox things instead of photocopying them. We "Google" something, not conduct an internet search.

Tom Fox. That is all.

It was a nostalgia thing. I don't regularly tune in to Nick Owen to find out what's happening in Wolverhampton

Well according to Mr. Zuckerberg we'll all soon be able to meet in VillaTalkWorld!! #Meta

The top of Lower High Street in Stourbridge used to have a van (food truck in hipster language) that always had hot pork sandwiches with apple sauce, gravy and cracklin' My God that was pure joy.

Bloody hell Lee looks terrible. How old is he?

Money buys justice in most countries, sadly.

Fair point - but didn't it get into brawls more than once? I was trying to show why some may not like him as a character. Obviously I love JT now so I am a complete hypocrite!

Yes. Try google.

Nah - Houllier had tried to change the style far too fast for the squad we had who were in revolt against him for most of the season. Once McCallister was in charge he essentially reinstated the MON system from the year before. A Young went back out to the wing instead of playing "in the hole" where he'd been terrible and unproductive all season. (The speculation was GH played him there to try and bribe him to stay.) We eventually finished 9th but that league position flattered us as to how terrible most of it had been.
