"45 minutes of pooping Tribbles being juggled by a drunken Horta would be better than Season 1 of TNG." - SirAndrewD

Oh right. This is out on disc now, huh.

I may get a cheap Blu someday, because I'm a completist and therefore insane. The first Bond movie I've skipped in theaters since I was old enough to drive to a theater, though.

I'm so glad I didn't watch Spectre beyond the first 10 minutes. What a pile of crap.

Silent Disapproval Robot

Yeah, it was pretty bland.  Not as bad as Skyfall but really, how could it be?

I like Daniel Craig in the role, but other than Casino Royale his Bond movies haven't been great.

I did like Skyfall. Casino Royale was by far the best one of his, though, agreed.


Silent Disapproval Robot

I thought Casino Royale was great and I think I'm one of the few people who liked Quantum of Solace but I really disliked Skyfall.

I didn't make it all the way through Quantam. I fell asleep and didn't bother to rewatch what I missed.

Skyfall was okay, but it's far from my favorite Bond film. I'm in no hurry to see Spectre.

I don't know many people that actually liked George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but I'm one of the likers.

I'm one of the few people who liked Timothy Dalton as Bond. Living Daylights is one of my favorite movies in the entire series.

+1. Really enjoyed that one, too.

I didn't want to like Dalton. AT ALL. I was thinking at the time that Brosnan would make a better Bond. And after several Brosnan films, I think Dalton was the better 007.

They offered Bond to Dalton when Connery stepped down from the role. Dalton declined it, thinking he was too young for the part at that time.

I'm apparently one of the few people that actually likes QoS -- it helps to look at it as the kick-ass hour-and-a-half finale to a four-hour Bond origin movie. But I agree the shaky cam action is harsh.

I like watching Skyfall, but the film's plot structure bothers me, and I miss David Arnold as the composer.

I want to like Spectre, but I have concerns. I'll go into it with super-low expectations eventually. I think the same cinemetographer was helping the same director, so it ought to look great.
