    Alright, so I saw Kick Ass tonight. It had its moments and hopefully marks the return of send-up films that are actually entertaining.

      The latter Brosnian ones were over the top for sure, but at least they tried to have cool evil sinister plots. I can't get over QoS's "let's get 60% of the water supply in Bolivia" plan.

        Believability/practicality of evil plan is not a criterion for Bond films. In fact, I'd say quite the opposite.

          True.

          The sad thing about Brosnan is that we waited years for him to play the part and then he peaked (or the scripts they wrote for him probably more than anything) on his first Bond picture.

              Die Another Day had Bond unable to realize his gun was unloaded.

              That qualifies as the worst Bond movie of all time.

                Holding water hostage is like holding a country hostage, even food isn't as important as drinking water. What better way to make money and power than to own a resource that no one can do without?

                  A. Pick a country that has money, not Bolivia.
                  B. Get more than 60% of the supply, you're a supervillian, don't halfass it.

                    The implication was that they were going around snatching up all types of resources, the movie just dealt with that one.

                      That, and I don't think it was just Bolivia's Water Supply as well. Bolivia is Land locked, so that water has to go somewhere else. Controlling that would probably have put some pressure on another South American country as well. I think their whole idea was getting enough votes to influence global policy and what not.

                          Saw The Sporting Life last night. Richard Harris portrays a complicated character with a mix of positive and negative traits. It gets gloomier and slower as it goes on, and it essentially ends as a pot boiler, but great scenes from pre-Beatles England.

                          The Brits obsess about class the way we obsess about race. I'm sure I only really got about half of all the messages and tones being expressed.

                            American Gangster:

                            Pretty good movie, Denzel is great, Russel is ok (although his, ahem, "accent" was *ing terrible and annoying, especially since it came and went randomly), and the pace was excellent.

                            I watched the full version, which I guess is about 20 minutes longer than the theatrical release, and I'd hate to see what they cut out, as I thought nothing needed to be cut.

                              The ending to the original version was better. It ended right when he got out of prison rather than the extra five minutes of them taking.

                                I liked that ending. Kinda shows how much had changed, and how Frank was out of place in an area he once ruled.
