Also, it’s bananas to use ChatGPT in general, but especially to study for this shit, when I know she’s got the money for these flashcards that are widely considered the most useful study tool out there criticalpass.com/collections/...

Grow up!!!!

Whoops, it came out in 2014, not 2010

I love Wes Anderson’s movies - I didn’t buy the Criterion box set because I don’t - but I was baffled and remain entirely baffled as to why THIS one blew up in a way not even Rushmore or Tenenbaums did

well that’s just true

Just to summarize: the 7’5” French guy hit a game tying 3 perfectly in stride, affected the potential go ahead rejoinder, cleared everyone out, and then sank a 3 right in Vucevic’s mug to take the lead. All you can do is laugh, really

The Man With The Golden Gun incorporated kung fu (badly, but still), Moonraker Star Wars shit (badly, but still), the Brosnan movies dealt with advancing technology, Craig’s aped the Bourne and Nolan Batman movies. Bond hasn’t been a taste maker since Connery, but he’s been a taste reflector forever

To me, at least, any debates over Bond’s place in the world or what he means now that the empire is mostly dead or whatever else are worthy but ultimately miss the point: you’re there to see a guy do action shit in accordance with the times he’s in

ah, just like George Floyd

I do not wish to ever see it, but is the reasoning something to do with Heaven

That’s true, plus I don’t think the writers or producers would want to reckon with the societal changes the way Mad Men did

I think it’s still available on CD, it’s totally worth it

I mean, the Iggles are going to win anyway, that would just be a bonus

Holy shit this thing fuckin rips, I had high expectations and they’ve been exceeded in spades

This is unbelievably tempting
