Pros and Cons: Die Another Day (Page 3 of 14)

+1 Agree with everything you say BL.

Really? Can you name one? I mean, someone who feels TND is 'the all time low'? I can't recall seeing it dead last on anyone's list but yours... I could be wrong...

A 'red' line? Is that Commie reference? Are you saying I should move to Russia?

  Okay, seriously, by 'personal prejudice' I mean something in your past that affects your judgement of the film- like for ME, I was severely traumatized by Bambi as a child, and consequently when a beloved or main character dies in a movie, my first reaction is 'this movie sucks'. When Matrix Revolutions came out I flat out stated that it was THE worst movie ever made.
Now I can say it's a well made flick that I just can't enjoy.   
For years I couldn't watch YOLT because of Aki's death!
That's what I mean.

Must be something in the alignment of the stars ?

This really is getting more and more like an old folks home !     

WHY WHEN I WAS A KID.....

Sure on an A6 intruder with a lengthy 8-9 foot air intake. That guy's life was spared because on that engine, the blades were deep within, and his arm prevented him from being sucked through the blades. When his helmet was sucked off and hit the blades, it killed the engine.

On typical airliners, the blades are close to the edge and make for interesting entertainment during bird tests.

EDIT: I know you were just joking around, but I had remembered this video and wanted to prove my intelligence to my deep seeded insecurities.

  I think we can agree then that Gustav Graves became Gustav Gravy.

Seriously Chrisisall, do not play games by using  "chinese girls" and "personal prejudice" in the same sentence. It sounds much worse than you intended.

I've said it many times, I'll say it again. TND is a disjointed film. Action sequences put together. It's quite noticeable that the script was not properly developed. No "personal prejudice" whatsoever, no freudian theories, no child traumas, no racial bias... I tried watching the film many times, and always think the same. Just a very bad film. Period. DAD, the topic of this thread, is a much better film.

Just accept the fact that we all have a favourite and a least favourite film. It so happens that TND is my least favourite, and your third favourite, which I respect without getting into weird theories (like you must be blind or something).

No hard feelings right? 

'Hard feelings'? Is that a sexual reference? Are you saying something about my manhood?

Ha ha, no man, we're cool. I'm known for extensive deceased equestrian pulverizing...

Chrisisall and I only argue about TND. But when we do, it's tough...   

As long as we can all at least agree that Dalton was a great Bond, all is well.

AND, on topic: NO BOND EVER was more about the lasers than DAD.

You call that an argument, TP? These others lads laugh at us old codgers struggling to find something about which we disagree!

So true, my friend!
