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
― flappy bird, Thursday, 8 November 2018 05:48 (five years ago) link
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
― unproven (darraghmac), Thursday, 8 November 2018 09:10 (five years ago) link
Live and Let Die is my favourite Bond, but From Russia With Love and Dr No are definitely much better films.

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

awful
― unproven (darraghmac), Thursday, 8 November 2018 12:18 (five years ago) link
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.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a great Bond film and Lazenby gets too much shit considering some of Roger Moore’s performances.
― gyac, Thursday, 8 November 2018 13:24 (five years ago) link
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.

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

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:

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

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.
― grawlix (unperson), Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:30 (five years ago) link
weirdly i think that's otm too, but i trained myself out of drinking and writing bc i always wrote garbage when drunk
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:32 (five years ago) link
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.
― Have the Rams stopped screaming yet, Lloris? (Chinaski), Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:36 (five years ago) link
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
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:37 (five years ago) link
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.

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

Maybe some of you are drinking too much? I drink regularly, but literally never to the point of incapacitation or debilitation (the latter of which I didn't know was an actual word until spellcheck didn't correct it).
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:41 (five years ago) link
So my controversial opinion is that alcohol is kind of nice, in spite of everything.

sometimes it's about personal chemistry, for instance at this point if i have more than two beers i'm gonna be hungover xp
