I have Layer Cake, he is fine to be told in that and Infamous is on my list.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

He was also quite good in LOVE IS THE DEVIL where he played a would-be thief who becomes Derek Jacobi's (playing Francis Bacon) tormented lover. Not a fun movie, but both Craig and Jacobi are amazing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Just back from PotC 3. It's...long. Very, very long.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Very, very long

Ruh Roh.

Of course, I enjoyed the second one, and most people I know were "eh" on it, so I may enjoy it.

I took AMbien last night becasue I was short on my regular meds. I don't remember posting about Layer Cake.

And I don't remember how the movie ended. The last thing I can vaguely remember M is talking to Bond about how the chick was blackmailed. This is going to drive me nuts all day.

and I'll add Love is the Devil to the netflix.

I liked the first nameless woman Bond hooked up with and then I also liked the never speaks blonde bad girl, but Vesper was in it too much and I didn't get why Bond fell in love with her. other than he got beaten severely and she lived somehow and he wanted to keep saving her (and not get beaten any more).

The fact she lived should have been a tip off that something was wrong.

And in some lights he looks like a beefier CKR.

The DH and I totally thought this also.

Just back from PotC 3. It's...long. Very, very long.

Did it convey that pummelled-about-the-head-and-shoulders feeling of PotC2? Was it Bruckheimertastic?

Also during Casino Royale I got really annoyed at the scenes in the airport where none of the employees were wearing badges. Everyone wears picture id badges of some kind in the airport, even the security people, and they have to be visibile.

It was a weird thing to bug me but it did.

Vesper would have been cooler if it was her cunning plan the whole time and she was evil rather than tragically blackmailed.

No, but I'm probably the wrong person to ask, since I thought the second one was crap too. This one, to me, wasn't even fun to watch, though -- at least during DMC I kind of enjoyed it while the movie was going on, and it wasn't until afterwards when I started to think about it that I realized how much about it I disliked. This one was just exhausting. And long. So long...

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh man! I really want to know who AMH plays in The Dark Knight!
