The Official Off-Topic Thread: Volume 20

On the topic of movies: Skyfall, Looper, and Argo were all very good movies. I thought Looper was an incredibly original plot with great acting, although I'm a little torn at the ending even though it made sense. I've followed JGL's career since I went and saw The Lookout which was great. One of my favorite actors.

Argo just proved to me that Ben Affleck gets a lot of unwarranted hate. He obviously had some clunkers in the early 2000 (eff him and whoever made Daredevil), but the guy is a great director and writer. The movie doesn't have much in the action department yet still managed to keep me tense and on the edge of my seat the whole time. Considering I knew how it ended prior to seeing it, that in itself was enough for me to rate it well.

Skyfall was far superior to QoS, but slightly worse then Casino Royale. I know it might be blasphemy to some of the older Bond fans, but Craig to me is the best Bond. I found many of the older guys like Moore and Dalton to be really cheesy and lame for the most part. Brosnan fit the role perfectly, but he suffered from having absolute **** to work with in the plot department (Goldeneye aside).

SkyFall - 10/10 - Loved it. I think I like it better than Casino Royale. It definitely had more action. Bardem is amazing. I haven't seen Avengers or TDKR, but I bet Bardem is right up there with the finalist for the best villain in a movie or whatever the category is.

I found the fact that Bardem's hair was dyed blond really distracting for some reason.

I agree about the hair hahah. He is such a good actor though and completely sold that role that I was able to look past his utterly ridiculous hair.

The whole controversy over the Bond interrogation when he first meets Bardem was so overblown to me. I enjoyed Bardem playing the sexual ambiguity thing, which I saw as him being bisexual and/or an attempt to throw Bond out of his typical, confident demeanor. Either way the scene was hilarious. Bond's line about "What makes you think it's my first time?" killed me.

Amy other Hunters in here? I am currently sitting in the woods! Love the fresh air!

[CityofTreez]

I used to go pheasant hunting...
My buddy would always get super drunk, and it got ugly. Like you would be scoping pheasants, and a bullet would fly by you. Dude would be laughing and be like "my fault".

We would hunt in a group of five, but his dog was smarter than all of us.
