Post a controversial opinion

Springsteen is like France for me...I only learned to appreciate them after I got old.

I always think my old man, a confessed atheist, is really a bitter Christian waiting for a sign. I'm sort of the same with the Dead so keep the channels open. Damn but I'm consistently surprised - for a band so feted for their transcendence - how earthbound and lumpen they are. I await the call.

a confessed atheist!

always loved darkness on the edge of town

i've met some dudes that hate the boss bc they think he's a poser but u kno what

hes done his due diligence

Xp he's a mess of contradictions.

Like Whitman he is large, he contains multitudes

There are no good James Bond films

You only think that because you are over the age of 12.

How do you know?

Maybe I'm the littlest ILXor

I have no solid information about your stature. Your post-pubescent status appears relatively certain. For one thing, you think there are no good James Bond films.

GoldenEye is the best James Bond movie

I'd probably go with Live and Let Die as the best, but that doesn't make it good.

russia with love is best bond and is 8/10

Live and Let Die is my favourite Bond, but From Russia With Love and Dr No are definitely much better films.

most films are bad

most everything is bad

theres still more than enough good left

↑ new board description.

i agree with the second part

Skyfall is really good, and one of the best uses of Roger Deakins

its

awful

I don't remember a minute of Skyfall or Casino Royale, but I recall liking them. Looked good, very Borne Identity? I only remember that because I recall Quantum of Solace being unwatchable, which casts things into relief. I do know that, regardless, I didn't even bother seeing the last one, because James Bond sucks.

Moonraker

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a great Bond film and Lazenby gets too much shit considering some of Roger Moore’s performances.

Casino Royale > Quantum of Solace > Spectre > Skyfall (but only barely - the last two are REALLY BAD)

Would vote for Live and Let Die or From Russia With Love as best Bond, with Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me battling for #3. Part of me loves Diamonds Are Forever because it’s so curdled and cynical and gross.

one of the best uses biggest wastes of Roger Deakins

two best bonds are from russia with love and on her majesty's secret service

hating them all is an entirely defensible, non-controversial opinion

unperson's ranking of the craig bonds otm

i think qos is best craig, it lacks the bloat and weight and is almost brosnanesque

brosnan bonds, apart from goldeneye, utter waste but dont have sam mendes' cutprice christopher nolan pseuodobollox

The best thing about Skyfall is the song, a karaoke classic:

Eat the TRIFLE
Apple CRUMBLE

"brosnan bonds" sounds like worst idea for a new cryptocurrency ever.

ha

I like Casino Royale just because of Eva Green.

i can absolutely see that argument tbf

most films are bad

this isn't controversial, or even an opinion, it's a fact considering how many films have been made and are made every year

i think qos is best craig, it lacks the bloat and weight and is almost brosnanesque

i feel this, i have a lot of affection for qos, but the action is shot like garbage

everything is bad except Virginia Woolf and gin

otm

is that controversial

i'd rather have tonic

Replace gin with cognac and I agree.

I don't understand the appeal of alcohol, especially among people who make their living with their brains. I can't write drunk (or high), and I always want/need to be able to write.

weirdly i think that's otm too, but i trained myself out of drinking and writing bc i always wrote garbage when drunk

writing stoned, however, if you can manage it (it took me ten years to finally not feel 100 percent stupid while high), is great

It's not so much not being able to think/write when high as not being able to think/write when hungover, anxious and tired - something that used to last a matter of hours, but can now last anything up to a week, depending on the booze intake.

oh yeah also hangovers completely destroy my ability to do anything cognitive for at least 24 hours which is why i've mostly given up drinking

still gin is good imo

I've made myself sound like a pisshead when my job doesn't remotely allow me to drink during the week (and adequately function). Booze is still debilitating at the weekends, though. Mmm, sweet booze.

alcohol sucks, the worst drug

coke just barely beats it imo

and I always want/need to be able to write

I often yearn to escape from it and language. From control in general.
