I'd say the Goldeneye was the last Bond film. Anyone wants to say it was earlier and take away Big Fam's contributions can take it up with me.

Goldeneye feels weirdly removed both from the modern 2000s vibe of the other Brosnan films as well as the stolid John Glen feel of the 80s pictures. It's an island unto itself

Sticking a carrot up your arse is much better than actually eating one.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have posted that here. It belongs in a "popular" opinion thread instead.

She's certainly a wholly believable nuclear scientist.

I still don't get why she wouldn't be. Nuclear scientists can't look hot?

Not generally, no.

Licence to Kill was the last Bond film. Licence to Kill is very much the end of the classic Bond era making it the Survival of the series. When I watched it again the other day I was actually surprised by how well executed the whole idea of the film was. Everyone seems to enjoy Goldeneye, but the film hasn't aged particularly well in terms of music, effects and pacing. To be honest, if I had a choice between Goldeneye or a third Dalton film made in 1991 by John Glen I'd definitely take the latter. As it is, LTK is a nice farewell for a lot of people involved with the series. |

I actually like the first Terminator film better than the second. I love T2, but the slasher vibe of the original appeals to me more.

Fury Road is the weakest Mad Max film.

Both the fans and critics have got it totally wrong about season 17. It is half genius and half nonsense. A half and half season. Up and down like a brides nightie as John Shuttleworth once said.
Genius
City of Death (of course)
Shada
Nightmare of Eden
Nonsense
Creature From The Pit
Destiny of The Daleks
The Horns of Nimon
I can get some enjoyment in Destiny, but it's overshadowed by a "will this do" attitude to the script. I don't mind that it's more comedic compared to the seriousness of Genesis. I do mind that there appears to be one tenth of the effort put into it's comedy that Genesis put into it's seriousness. "Daleks can't get up stairs, hur hur" feck off!!
I shall of course expect you all to fall at my feet in total agreement.

If the only spin-off literature or audio was still just Target books, Doctor Who would be in a much better shape.

Sorry cyberhat, but my next unpopular opinion is that City of Death really isn't all that much. It's the closest Classic Who comes to a Moffat story, which is just timey-wimey twists and sitcom lines for the sake of it. Very shallow.
I will submit to the greatness of Shada, with one small asterisk - it wouldn't be nearly as good without Denis Carey's natural warmth. And you can't really write that.

That you don't like it is fine, that you compare it to bloody Moffat makes me faint and need smelling salts. Not all comedy is the same, The Chuckle Brothers is not the same as PG Wodehouse. Everything Moffat does seems fuelled by his desperation not to look like a nerd. Douglas Adams is on a mission to look like a nerd, that is why he will always be king to Moffat's cat. |
