Looks like my kind of breakfast.
‘“James Bond Will Return” — but as who?’
“Mysterious abandoned afternoon tea with bubbles and cheese discovered in UK woodland”
I actually wanted to spare you this story, but it was “news” on every nerdy website I went to today.
Froggy chair declared racist in 3.2.1.
Ranidaphobe!
Well, they toad the line.
I’m hopping out of this thread.
Yeah, it will croak pretty quick.
Understandable. This thread doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
I’d say that tad polls better than you think.
He won’t.
They killed the franchise.
$56 million in the first weekend. Still a pretty good haul. They’ll make another one.
No, it’s really not. Not in the movie business. Especially for a big name franchise.
56 million
Chickenshit for a big budget film.
Keep in kind it’s made over $300 million worldwide already which was about in line with studio expectations.
No it won’t kill the franchise.
Unfortunately.
Craig was perfectly serviceable as James Bond, but the last two movies have been lazy and boring. Kill it now while it still has some fond memories.
Then raise Sam Peckinpah from hell and hire some shitlords to do a screen treatment of the Matt Helm novels…
Looks like the last movie killed it at the box office, so there will be about 25 more at least.
Never Say Never.
Never again?
From China with Love.
Just like Star Wars, they’ll plow it into the ground and the nerds will keep consuming it.
Frankly, I thought that Daniel Craig was a poor pick because he didn’t fit the mold, but his movies have been fun. Maybe the next person will similarly impress me, but it seems like they’re going in with all the wrong motives. These wokewashes tend to get tedious real fast.
Star Trek would like a word.
Ugh
That Khan scream scene turned me off permanently.
Take it back! The Shat can do no wrong.
Yeah, he’s reaching back to 1982 FFS.
You really should watch the link below.
And again, I apologize…
I watched the first “alternate universe” movie or whatever the fuck game they’re playing with the franchise.
Meh.
Oh you have no idea.
Abrams took a massive dump on the most iconic of all the Star Trek scenes.
Oh you poor man, I’m sorry for what I’m about to do to you, but I cannot let you continue to live your life in such ignorance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ymcq7BNgiI
I haven’t watched any ST made after that scene. The writers promised they weren’t rebooting TWOK for months before the movie’s release. They said they realized why it would be a bad idea. They did it anyway.
The Shat in space.

Oh no he di’int!
If this isn’t real, it should be.
It’s real.
I was bored one day and finally watched one of the Craig movies… meh.
Not my Bond. And suffers from the same dysfunction as every other “modernization” – too frantic, too explodey, too dour.
Sean Connery and chauvinism or GTFO.
IMHO, the Craig Bond is closest to the Bond from the books. Not that it matters for movie making, but just sayin’.
Point of clarification: I mean Craig’s portrayal. Not all the s’plody stuff.
I think the Craig movies are some of the best made Bonds but I don’t find them fun or very rewatchable. They are a well done dramatic slog.
The best action spy movies of the last decades have been the Mission Impossible movies. They’re what Bond should be (and used to be).
Yeah, that explains it well. The one I watched was well-made and seemed to have a good story.
I just didn’t care.
Yeah, they need to be playful.
And it’s not just a “1960s” thing. Ipcress Files was a great Cold War spy flick and was very serious.
But Bond is for a little escapism.
Yes! Someone do the rest of Len Deighton’s stuff!
I thought that dude from “Remington Steel” made a decent bond.
Craig looks too much like Putin.
Brosnan was pretty great.
He was going to be Bond earlier, but with his late wife’s illness and other filming commitments he couldn’t do it. That’s when they went with Timothy Dalton. He only did 2 Bonds and then Brosnan was back in the running.
Brosnan recently spilled a bit about how he had wanted to keep making more Bond flicks but was essentially fired over the phone.
https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/hollywood-news/pierce-brosnan-was-fired-as-james-bond-daniel-craig-as-james-bond.html
I adore Pierce Brosnan. He’s had a hard life, and he seems like he’s a nice guy, and he’s loyal.
Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond, closely followed by Pierce. Sean Connery is fine, but he is severely overrated by my generation (millennial) for the same reason the Beatles haven’t gone out of fashion yet; they just want to impress the boomers they’re around with their preferences.
I knew who you meant right away, then realized we are both old.
Stephanie Zimbalist was very cute.
Yeah she was.
One of my favorite episodes had a very young Geena Davis as a tennis star. At one point she and “Laura Holt” (Zimbalist) were running to catch someone and Geena’s character asked breathlessly
Geena: “How do you run in high heels??”
Laura: “How do you hit a backhand smash?”
Geena: “Lots of practice!”
Laura: “Same here!”
Very silly episode, more than most but it’s among the top 10 of most Steele fans and was Brosnan’s favorite because everyone got to be a little over the top.
The next Bond will be a black lesbian who will team with Felix Leiter and the C.I.A. to put down Jan. 6th Insurrectionists who are plotting to destroy Real English Ale and install “Dr. I.P.A.” as head of the WorldWideBeverageCouncil.
Wasn’t that just this movie?
A person with blue hair? Who insists on being referred to by villains as Xer?
Way too close to the truth.
And xe tells Q to shove his Aston Martin up his Gaia-hating, patriarchy-loving ass, xe wants a Prius.
If you’re going to go full on Weebo it’s どうぶつの森 (doubutsu no mori) or Forest of the Animals.
I had no freaking idea what the hell it was called in Japanese until I was speaking with my language teacher and she mentioned she was playing it with all her friends.
*insert nerds gif here*
I am pleased with all the Animal Crossing news. Huge updates.
How about something a little different?

No shit. TW: Insane person named Bill McKibben writing.
So no different than aspirin, Theraflu, sudafed. In other words, a therapeutic. Treat is as such and the world will settle back the fuck down.
The only remaining argument would the hospital beds thing but that’s certainly over in my area if you look at the graph.
The racket on hospital bed capacity was percentage of capacity of certain reserved beds for certain things. So many beds for ICU, etc. sounds scary until you see that a 100% capacity COVID rate was for 15 ICU beds.
Lefties are liars and facts ruin their Narrative.
Treat is as such and the world will settle back the fuck down.
Look at the optimist over here!
I try as I may, to be optimistic.
I was thinking the other day as I was traveling around the country under the yoke of the federal mask mandates in airports. Circa 2003, one dude tried lighting his shoe on fire on a commercial flight. As a result, I have been taking my shoes off at airports for 18 fucking years. This shit is never going away.
I received a link to a Carnegie Mellon U Covid related study.
https://delphi.cmu.edu/covidcast/survey-results/
Is it weird that I implicitly trust CMU because it’s my alma mater? I probably shouldn’t. But they seem trustworthy and data-driven enough to not really even require trust. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And yet, there’s clearly a bias. Look how they phrased the results of the mask wearing:
Better and worse.
Hmm. Why not “more” and “less”?
Florida ranks 3rd from lowest infection rates with Hawaii barely lower.
Turns out having open economy and no restrictions is the same infection rate as the 50th state.
That’s way better than what I discovered in a UK woodland.
Was it CHAV-resistant gonorrhea?
I’ve seen the Bond flick twice. I liked it the first time, but really liked it the second.
If you are planning to see it, do yourself a favor and watch Spectre first. Otherwise it is a fucking mess.
I think the series as we know it is over. Which is fine.
Daniel Craig was a good Bond.
But not as good a Bond as Flex-Tape
Is that the knockoff where JB Smoov plays the black spy named JB Weld?
He was the best Bond. Skyfall was the best Bond movie.
I have spoken.
Heh. I enjoy Bonds like I enjoyed being a teenager growing up in California and the pick of Cali girls. Let me sample a bit of each before I come to a conclusion if any of them are good.
Key words “as we know it”.
Leaves room for another couple dozen movies. I smell “reboot”!
Speaking of reboot, I see that TOS has a Kurt Loder review of Dune up. Haven’t read it yet.
https://reason.com/2021/10/15/review-dune-and-the-velvet-underground/
Apparently the movie only covers the first half of the book, and the sequel is contingent on how this does. Which means there will be problems with continuity.
I know everyone here is interested in seeing it. But does the larger public care? I feel there will be this first movie, then nothing. I hope I am wrong.

We’ll see, but it’s made $100M in its limited international release so far, so that could be a good sign.
End it with Paul trapped in the desert with the sandworms closing and the Harokonen in charge. Don’t pick up the story again – happy ending.
I will kill him!!
supposedly, “does well” will be determined more by the HBO Max numbers than the box office.
A LOT of reviews came out on youtube a few days ago. I don’t know if the algorithm just dumped them on me then, or if there was an embargo, or if this is a coordinated hype effort.
All of the reviews were glowing.
I have only watched one Bond film and that was the one with Grace Jones. And I only did it because I was on a double date.
So about the drug testing the ski instructors thing. I got word that THC wasn’t even on the panel. I still think it’s a bad idea to drug test ski instructors, but Pennsylvania is way into drug testing compared to other parts of this nation. I think they will scare away some useful stoned resort workers. The dummy dum dums. The ski area has a new owner, a regional private capital resort conglomo. I feel like I’m walking into a B-movie plot. Let’s go.
Not surprised at the THC not being on the panel. They wouldn’t have any instructors if they did that.
I feel like I’m walking into a B-movie plot
So we can expect stories of hijinks by the instructors as they battle the uptight new owner?
Exactly.
Needs a hot tub incorporated into the plot.
Will it double as a time machine?
The percentage of pot-free lifties has to be in the single digits.
Dammit. Now I will obsess over 1980s ski movies until the proper link is found. Perhaps “Ski School.” Can’t recall any where you do battle against fuddy duddies. Mostly those were rich vs the poors.
Better Off Dead.
Speaking of, how about you cough up that 2 dollars you owe me?

One more example of why John Cusack is America’s greatest living actor.
But it really wasn’t ski bums versus the man, I think R.J. is looking for “Ski Patrol”, not nearly as good as the previously mentioned films. the GOAT of skier films is of course “Hotdog…The Movie”, the reason I still kick myself from time to time for being a coward and not packing up the burnt orange hand me down Ford Pinto with Queen’s “Live Killers” stuck in the 8-track and moving to Colorado right after high school.

I’ve never seen a “Dollar Tree” in the wild.
We have tons of “discount stores” full of shitty merchandise in NYC – they tend to pop up in a lot of empty storefronts – but you’d be hard-pressed to find anything in there that costs a dollar.
You live in NYC. The dollar trees spring up like fungus after a rainstorm in the hinterlands. That and the other variety, dollar general.
Dollar general is different that Dollar tree.
Dollar general is like a one-tenth scale Walmart.
Make a road trip across the river to NJ – they are everywhere.
Dollar Tree actually has some decent items in the store. The glassware for example.
I was in charge of the stocking stuffers one Christmas for my adult siblings and spouses. I went to Dollar Tree and got a bunch of items that everyone really appreciated. A few ornaments, new veggie peelers, those thingies that help you open jar lids, stoppers for open wine bottles, etc.
It was cool and also frugal!
Basically everywhere in flyover country.
Likewise Family Dollar.
Surprised you never saw one in your hometown. Guess they’re not that old. >.>;
*runs away giggling*
I left Buffalo in the late 90’s and I lived downtown where there’s basically no shopping whatsoever, so *shrugs*.
I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone who lives(d) downtown, after 33 years of living here, and I’m not a suburbanite by birth.
Funny, I didn’t know anyone who lived in the suburbs.
Two different worlds, there.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lawsuit-kenosha-shootings-police-enabled-armed-militia-80602811
MADISON, Wis. — A man who was shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest last year against police brutality in Wisconsin has filed a federal lawsuit alleging police enabled the violence by allowing an armed militia to have free run of the streets during the demonstration.
Rittenhouse shot Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle during the protest in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020, after an officer shot Jacob Blake two days earlier. Rosenbaum and Huber died. Grosskreutz was wounded in the arm but survived.
I got nuthin
I mean…why not try for some sweet justice cash?
Grosskreutz would have popped Rittenhouse in the head if he hadn’t gotten shot first.
I watched the video.
Note that he is not suing Rittenhouse. He is suing the police.
Qualified immunity, bitches!
For not making sure that he was unarmed as well as Rittenhouse? Bold strategy Cotton!
Yeah, but that was self-defense. He knew Rittenhouse was intending to shoot him so he tried to shoot him back first.
The convicted felon who pulled a concealed weapon on Rittenhouse and was about to shoot him in the head? That guy? Is it a good idea to voluntarily walk into Federal Court after committing that many crimes? Or is “justice” that skewed it doesn’t even matter?
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
He is suing the police. He wouldn’t have tried to shoot Rittenhouse if the police had just kept the white militia away.
Why would he file a lawsuit claiming the police let him have free run of the streets while armed?
Hoping that Kyle is convicted and then state the police failed to protect? Weirder shit has happened.
I don’t see Kyle getting convicted (at least of anything serious).
It’s been long established that the police don’t actually have a duty to protect. This suit should be dead on arrival for that fact alone.
Oh they protect, just not you.
I’m sure Kim Potter and Derek Chauvin are nodding along happily to this news.
Look, one thing that went well with tough on crime shit was that it reduced recidivism (at least, if you weren’t in jail).
I kind of feel like killing people should carry more than 4 years unless you have a legit excuse.
Especially when the victim was a law abiding person who posed zero risk to anyone.
Potter and Chauvin were at least dealing with career criminals. And both of the deaths could be argued were accidental. There was no way Noor could pretend that he was surprised that shooting wildly out the window of his car would end up in someone dying.
a legit excuse
Since when is a badge not a legit excuse?
since 1776

Oof. Such a hard week I may not make it. Staring into the martinis now. Bond style, Monopolova. Not shaken or stirred because I am beat.
Come on for about on hour after your 3rd martini and pass out so we can enjoy the somnolent chorus of your snores.

I don’t know WTF she means by that but coming from the woman voicing the most totalitarian fever dreams over the last year and a half, it sounds like a pivot.
Definitely pivoting because their magic bullet all-in vaccine pathway is turning into a road of shit.
Best comment:
“Im being affected by long paranoia. Your fear is affecting my life. See this cuts both ways.”
This has to be a glib.
WTF?
Screw them. They got what they wanted by ignoring their consciences and now they want to reclaim their moral authority. No, they sold out. They are no longer to be trusted.
Translation: she doesn’t want to vax her kids.
“Purpose” is a strange word to use here. Sure, sometimes a product is repurposed for something else, but that’s not what’s going on with the COVID vax. It’s not like people are getting the vax to relieve their indigestion. And the effectiveness of a product sure as shit isn’t a personal value judgement. Sounds like she’s saying the rationale behind getting the vax is a value judgement, which doesn’t speak well for the product.
Either that or it’s devolved into a dorm room ganja-fest at this point: “Wow man, I don’t even know what it means anymore.”
Okay, I’ve watched the video at the link now. This power-hungry schmuck has retreated to freedom of choice. I didn’t gather that initially because she writes incomprehensible tweets.
I posted this in the AM. Notice a pattern?
Has everyone heard about the new “gut” science?
Moderna Booster Shot Backed by FDA Advisory Panel
Members of the FDA’s vaccine-advisory panel supported Moderna’s booster dose even though the evidence for it was from a small study and had mixed results.
“It’s more a gut feeling rather than based on really truly serious data,” said Patrick Moore, a member of the committee and a professor of molecular genetics and biochemistry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. “The data itself is not strong, but it is certainly going in the direction that is supportive of this vote.”
Good grief.
Our best and brightest.
‘I wanted it to be true, so it is!’ and he’s a professor. In science, or maybe THE SCIENCE!. We’re fucked.
I saw an article yesterday in the SF Chron that said maybe we should follow Europe and not mask little kids. First time I have seen anything like that in there. I think they are sensing the coming backlash.
The details… the details…
I’ve got the red and gold on the pauldrons. Just need to get the decorative stuff in the middle painted.
My solution to these problems is to play a smaller scale, say 2mm, no need for details. 😉
Are there pictures?
Just Yesterday’s work in progress. I’ve got three areas that must be painted and a fourth that should have some contrasty bits added to make it look better.
Then I have to base it. But I’ll have another work in progress pick when the main paint job is done.
That looks really nice!
Thanks. It looks even better now, but I’m not ready for another photograph.
I have great respect for miniature painting. It is beyond my abilities. My painting skills end at walls and siding on houses.
In my nerdy Jr. High days (now I’m in my nerdy Mid-life days), the kid I played D&D with all the time was incredibly good at painting miniatures. I stunk at it.
So huge props to UCS for being so good at it.
Thanks, both of you.

Everything on the front is done, there’s some details on the sides and back that need to be finished yet, but it won’t be noticeable from this angle.

“Now, a real killer would have asked immediately about the little red button on the side of the gun.”
I know the reference, but I’m not sure how it applies.
There’s two red squares on the side of the gun, I just thought I’d try being clever.
Very nice work, BTW.
That’s inset copper color in the shadow. That’s the ejection port for the spent casings.
And thank you.
I think I missed the resemblance because I’ve been staring at the real thing so long that it didn’t look red to me (I knew what it was supposed to be)
Magnificent! Have you overcome the eyestrain problem you’d been having with your lighted magnifier (which, IIRC, was the headpiece such as jewelers use?)
To deal with eyestrain I do short sessions, take off the magnifying lenses to rest my eyes, then pick it up again.
UCS, that looks fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Yesterday I got a phone call from the campaign of a city councilor candidate. Like a push poll. The guy announced right away that their candidate was for achieving zero carbon status in the city even earlier than planned and that she defunded the police or totally planned to. When I was asked some kind of question I replied that I would never vote for their fascist progressive pig of a candidate. And hung up the phone.
Today the candidate called me herself. I had to tell her that I have nothing but contempt for all progressives and Democrats and I’m definitely not her voter.
You should have kept her on the line so she couldn’t try to lure people into actually voting for her.
I would have replied with a version of, “Thanks for clearing things up for me. I have a tough time with these city council races, because the appeals are often so vague and generic. Working families! High-paying jobs! However, you’ve made it crystal clear how awful your agenda is.”
Today the candidate called me herself. I had to tell her that I have nothing but contempt for all progressives and Democrats and I’m definitely not her voter.
And that was the last we ever heard from grrizzly.
Naw, they won’t find him.
Did you tell her she could achieve zero-carbon status by pulling a Budd Dwyer?
Hey man, nice reference.

Now I know why I like it, it is a lot like the original NES metroid.
When my son was real small he loved Metroid. I made him some “hand cannons” from old Kool-Aid containers. He was in heaven and nothing could move in our house for months without getting blasted.
I hope they make the sequel a touch more accessible. The original gets hard as fuck too early for my geezer brain cells.
Heh, sorry yer old. I thought it was perfect.
My kids have that game. It looks nice.
The most recent one they purchased was “Cuphead”, which has a very 1930’s cartoon style, including the…I don’t know what you call it. It has the lines and similar elements to make it look like an old film.

Mark my words, he’ll crossover to the women’s prison within a year.
Only if he’s in drag.
That would be sedan-dy.

Revolving doors only matter when…aw, hell, revolving doors never matter. Left, right, they all just don’t care; they don’t even bother researching this deeply even when they’re opposed. I truly don’t understand it, but this battle appears to be lost. Like, ethics and conflict of interest can just be explained away, because there’s no integrity anywhere, anymore.
I find it ironic that a few years ago, my crazy commie sister in law used to rant about the corrupt pharmas – now she adores them.
I just heard that Bill Clinton has some kind of pecker infection, and they are treating him with antibiotics. My God, don’t they know that veterinarians use antibiotics to treat abscesses in pet rodents! Maybe “Doctor Jill” is trying to kill the man?

How was the theme song of the latest Bond film?
“Casino Royale”, “You only Live Twice”, and “Goldfinger” are my favorites.
I can’t here the name Goldfinger without hearing Shirley Bassey belting out “GOLD FIN-GAAAAA”.
Also, the movie contains maybe my favorite Bond/villain exchange:
Bond: “Do you expect me to talk?”
Goldfinger: “No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.”
I just gave the latest theme song from Billie Eilish? a listen and she almost gets it, like twice I thought yeah here it comes she’s about to go full Basey, and then right back to that whisper/sing/talk thing that’s so cool with the kids these days, I don’t get it. It sounds like the EIlish girl has some chops but she never belts it out.
It’s ok.
This is probably my favorite.
I’d love to be able to stan for Gladys here, Since she is the greatest R&B singer of all time, but the theme song for “License to Kill” is such a poorly written song no singer could save that mess. Bassey still beats Manson but I’ll give her props. better than Duran Duran.
I think Adele got pretty close to Bassey-ish Skyfall
My mistake; the song for “Casino Royale” is “You know my name”.
https://youtu.be/iZndVv-jl-U
Yeah, Cornell did a damn good job.
I thought you were going to post this:
https://youtu.be/Io-jchlnvJM
I have to try watching that again. I think “mad cap” would be the proper term.
But “You Know My Name” (not the Beatles song) really captures the essence of James Bond, in my opinion.
“Arm yourself because no one else here will save you. The odds will betray you; and I will replace you.”
Sounds like M talking to Bond.
“ When there is a labor contract for some period of time (e.g. a year, some number of hours for a contract employee, etc.) which replaces the “employment at-will” doctrine by mutual consent (which an entity can agree to do) the City, State or Federal Government cannot impose a change in terms until the existing agreement expires and/or is renegotiated. If they attempt to do so that’s void and if they lock people out of their job prior to that successful renegotiation they have committed an unlawful act; said person is entitled to be paid for every hour they would have worked but for the employer’s refusal to let them perform their job.”

Those already exist – they don’t show up in fields where the employees are easily replaced. That opening ‘at will’ tends to be called a Probationary period.
