God damn Spielberg and Indy alone were blowing Bond movies out the water without any fancy gadgets.

I'm cool with living off the GOAT SoCal Mexican food anyway. Mexican food in New Mexico isn't even good. If it isn't Mexican food or some form of steak or cheeseburger I'm generally uninterested.Headhunter wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 3:17 pmEnglish food is actually terrorism.

The effort into making tough scenes to film actually work is what I appreciated about them. Dianonds are Forever was wack but the car chase scene was bitchin.Tiggnutz wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 3:15 pmTechnically advanced and ambitious would be a better way of saying what I meanTiggnutz wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 3:12 pmI've always thought the Bond action scenes even in the bad films were the most technically advanced for their times especially the Dalton and Brosnan yearsHeadhunter wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 3:05 pmMaybe the very early Bonds were a high bar for their time but when action movies really take off in the 80s and 90s I don’t think Bond was ever on the level of John Woo, Arnold, Stallone, Willis etc.Tiggnutz wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 3:00 pmBond was the high bar for action filmmaking for decades.

A lot of Bond is like early Star Trek the TV show, and you motherfuckers gonna act like it's Terminator 2. Get out.

That's fine you might like the movie overall better, but not as the high bar of action filmmaking. T2 blows the first one out the water for action set pieces etc. But just the uncalled for Face turn alone I can see not liking as much, Arnold should always be the killing machine motherfuckers.Jason wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 3:50 pmTerminator is better than T2 and I will fucking die on that hill and not give a shit.

The worst food in the world is Czech food btw. I ate so much Vietnamese when I lived there (big local population, they run all the little corner stores) and those places were always empty while the locals stuffed themselves with unseasoned pork slop.

I do, but I tend to go the cheaper route. I don't care for PF Chang type Asian food. You'll see me eating Orange/Teriyaki chicken with fried rice though.
