Re: movies
Watched Peter O'Toole in Venus last night. I have no idea why it was in our netflix queue. Everyone denied ordering it. RT gives it a high score but the 11% who trash it do so vigorously. I agree.
ex: A starring vehicle for an aging star who receives deafening awards buzz not so much for the performance than, it seems, for simply being alive.

A singularly disagreeable movie.
It had it's moments, mostly the scenes between Maurice and his friends. The Pygmalion stuff seemed so forced.

Finally watched Skyfall and damn it was good. It's been years since I've seen a Bond movie and this is the first daniel craig as bond I've seen.
Couple questions:
Where were all the gadgets and was this supposed to be a prequel (with regards to the end). My Bond timeline knowledge is very limited.

Re: movies
They've cut down on the gadgets with the Craig Bonds, much to their benefit, in my opinion. Casino Royale isn't exactly a prequel, and it's not exactly a reboot (Judi Dench is still M, for example), but it is kind of an origin story, with Bond gaining 00-status at the beginning.go birds wrote:Finally watched Skyfall and damn it was good.

Are you stoked about "The World's End"? Would you like to be even more stoked?

JL is pretty much best friends with Edgar Wright so I'm sure he'll be there if you wanna say hi.
I saw Wolverine. It was fun because Hugh Jackman understands that actors playing super heros should have fun and also the plot didn't involve a crazy global crisis threatening mankind's existence.

Netflix is rolling out user profiles over the next two weeks, so your kids preferences and history don't show up on yours, and vice versa.

Oh man, this is the best. Outside of the few shows we watch together, my fiancee and I watch completely different genres. My Top 10 now goes from old kung fu movies and gritty tv dramas to Downton Abbey and Gossip Girl.
