Hey Teague, could you edit your main post here to include links to the sites and materials mentioned in the episode? I think it would be really helpful for folks to have all that info in one spot.
The cartoon batman actually looks pretty damn realistic 
Welcome to the boards Dorian, you're a long way from the valleys
Yeah, I dunno. Casino Royale was just so fucking good. It's hard to follow it up with anything.
This is true however QoS really doesn't follow up Casino Royale they made a big point about it being a direct sequel when really only two scenes touched on that.
Saying that there is a good film in QoS it's just buried deep down under some bad editing and dodgy camera work. It took a good couple of viewings to work out what the plot was and not in a good way.
One thing I've respected about the Bond producers is they are aware of reaction to the films even when they are doing well. Both Die Another Day did brilliantly at the box office but they still took the next films in different directions.
(spoilers but the code made the post unreadable)
There were a number of things about Skyfall that bothered me.
Casino Royale seemed to suggest at the beginning that it existed in the same universe as the previous Bond movies. He was the 'new' James Bond 007.
Casino Royale was a reboot but really rebooting Bond can be summed up as not mentioning his wife any more the series never had much continuity.
He just happened to have explosives rigged to plunge a train into that one room, just on the off chance that someone happened to catch up to him right there?
I took it more as a diversion to distract the police and emergency services from his attack on the M's hearing.
He blew up MI6 because he knew about the secret headquarters that Bond had no idea existed and wanted to be taken there because it's less secure,
Movies villains seem to be doing this a lot lately, I'll give you that 
and then he planned for M to be brought up in an investigation at the precise moment he escapes?
The hearing was because of MI6's handling of agents names being leaked. Government hearings are scheduled weeks in advance and public knowledge, M and Mallory saw it announced on the news so it didn't just happen to be at the same time as his escape by chance
why not just kill her then? Send your sniper guy to shoot her, or shoot her yourself.
This was part of his character, he wanted to disgrace her and then kill her. If he didn't waste his time being smug in the hearing room he would have done just that before Mallory could save her.
I dunno. It's an OK film, but aside from the camerawork and editing giving it an edge over the second one, I'd say it's not as good as either of the previous two flicks.
If you really think QoS is a better film then you really should ...er be entitled to that opinion I guess
I loved the camera work here I must say it's the first action film I've seen in a very long time that hasn't been terribly handheld and quickly cut.
No, that would be his wife.
There was a film with Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy a few years back called 'Wild Target' which starts out as a light hearted assassin does one last job comedy and turns into 3 characters sitting around a country house being dull for the second hour.
Gary Mitchell would work as a movie and they could call it 'Where No Man Has Gone Before' which would be hip in a 'The Dark Knight' sense
I'm not very good at liking music if I'm honest. 15 years ago Radio 1 would play a fair selection of good music instead of just complete bollocks and now I never really know where to hunt it out. The truth is I hate listening to an album the first time as it tends to take a good couple of listens for me to decide if I like it. I mainly find myself listening to the same kind of things or the music from Sad Max.
But if I had to put together a top 5 list of albums then today atleast it would be:
The Levellers - Levelling The Land
JJ72 - JJ72
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#O Infinity
Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
I met the director once when he was promoting "Churchill The Hollywood Years" which I never saw but apparently was bobbins.
Jimmy, I saw the Supergrass years ago, I should really track it down again.
Zarban, you have just the right amount of free time 
what the world needs right now is MORE NICK CAGE!
Go wash your mouth out with soap!
I've now finished episode 13
I will sit down and watch this when I have a chance. I did really enjoy the BBC series they've adapted it from.
The first episode starts with the main character lamenting the downfall of Margaret Thatcher - complete fiction when they shot it, but the episode ended up airing days after Thatcher was voted out.
It was shot on video 20 years ago and I don't know how accessible you'd all find it but it's on netflix if you did want to check it out.
The best comic I've read lately is 'Saga' by Brian K Vaughn
I love it, it always makes me smile when it pops up. Unless it's done as a knowing wink where its used as a sound effect. I've seen that a couple of times.
I like how the comic artist drew in some lens flares 
The XL-1 still looks like a badass camera
I watched this about six months ago so it's not clear in my mind but one thing I did get from Looper's world building is the idea that it's at the point in a near future where what's new technology now enjoyed by the rich has filtered down to the poor etc.
The film does have a good example of "A Footprint in the Snow" Where we start looking up at tall future buildings and flying things and pan down to a street that looks pretty much modern but we buy it because we saw the skyline.
I bloody loved Iron Sky.
Ash, did you make that poster?
Richard Marquand's only merit is RotJ.
And everyone knows he didn't really direct that! AMIRITE
