I think that Goldeneye was the first thing I'd ever seen Alan Cumming in--he was excellent as the weaselly computer geek.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should give The Living Daylights another try. At the very least, it makes a nice palate-cleaner after final few really horrible Roger Moore films.

Ha! I forgot that was the other thing about watching the movie with Emmett.
Emmett: [seeing Alan Cumming] "Hey, that's Floop!" [from Spy Kids]
The rest of the movie was me going: "That's the guy who plays Hagrid. That's Boromir."
I do this a lot when I'm flipping through the channels, translating actors into his viewing experience.
Very funny when watching old Merchant Ivory movies. "That's McGonnigle, and that's Bellatrix." "What? That's Bellatrix?" "Yeah, and that's Trelawney back when she was married to Gilderoy Lockhart." "Huh." "Okay, and that woman was married to the guy who was Batman's mentor and was also Qi Gon in Phantom Menance. But she died. Very sad."
Blow Dry has been running on the cable movie channels and I can't wait to say, "That's Snape."

Will do.
Hec, We used to have Burritos and Bond as a Sunday tradition for a while.
When I moved to Boston in the mid-80s the Harvard Rep Cinema used to have Bond double features regularly on their schedule. This was back in the pre-VCR days (well, they existed but weren't that widespread yet), and they always had packed houses. It was a blast.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I loved Sean Bean in GoldenEye. It's one of my favourites of his roles.

Xenia Onatop! God, I love Famke
She was so good I was hoping they'd find a way to bring her back. Smashing into a tree was ambiguous enough that they could have rigged her up in some kind of mechanical device. Granted, bringing Jaws back didn't work out so well...

Jaws was the least of Moonraker's problems.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Razzie Nominations 2010: The Year's AND Decade's WORST Of Film
All three Jonas brothers shared a worst-actor nomination for "Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience." Razzie voters also included "any two (or more)" Jonas brothers in the category for worst screen couple.

As much as I love Famke I didn't love the translation of the sex-hungry femme fatale into more contemporary times. Just wasn't working for me.
