[up] While you were still learning to SPELL YOUR NAME, I was being taught... TO CONQUER GALAXIES!

That line alone is Oscar-worthy.

I kind of want to watch that one. Along with The Room, it's one of those things I think needs to be watch to be 'appreciated'.

Don't watch it. Don't buy it on DVD. Don't think about it. In fact, I'd recommend you learn the art of thought suppression to stop yourself from thinking about it. It was truly that awful.

Well, I sat through Nic Cage's Wicker Man. I felt robbed, though, because the "NOT THE BEES" part wasn't in it... I guess it was the theatrical cut or something.

If awfulness of this magnitude tickles your funny bone, then watch it.

Also lol putting "While you were still" into Youtube's search bar gets "While you were still learning how to spell your name" as the ONLY suggestion

Iron Man 3. It was pretty awesome, much better than 2.

^I had a similar reaction to Skyfall and the last bond film.

Anyone else notice the compete lack of references to Quantum Of Solace?

If I were them I'd be trying to distance myself from Solace too. I mean it's not a bad movie, but it's not a James Bond movie either. It's basically a Jason Bourne movie with Bond's name on it.

re-edit: Actually wait, now that I think of it I'm getting two movies mixed up in my head. Casino Royale was a pretty solid movie, although it would have been more at home in the Bourne series and I thought the ending was disappointing. Quantum Of Solace, I don't remember ANY of except that I left the theater thinking it had sucked and that they thought it'd be edgy to kill the (very flat) bond girl.

The Bone Collector. Pity they never made any followups. Washington and Jolie were terrific in it.

^^ Strawberry's death pissed me off a lot. Not only do they kill her off screen it makes Bond look like a asshole for not protecting her.

Eh, i think i'll see Solace anyway to see if it's as bad as people say.

It has a few good points. The action scenes are good, Jitter Cam aside and Olga Kurylenko is charismatic, Just don't come out expecting a satisfactory experience. The main problem is the story arc just doesn't come together and reach a proper conclusion. Nor set the stage for skyfall. It feels undercooked.

Another thing is that the idea of Bond going rogue and out for revenge is like depowering superman or making him evil. If you only have passing familiarisation with the character that sounds like a novel and interesting direction to take him. But to fans you're just retreading old ground.

Yeah, don't go watch Solace hoping for something memorably bad. It's not memorably or spectacularly bad. It's not Plan 9, or Battlefield Earth, or even one of the aggressively shameless cash-cow cartoons from the 80s. It's just terribly mediocre, with a franchise and budget that should have been capable of more.

An American Werewolf In London, in a double bill with The Descent. My best mate and I are working our way through good horror movies, and tried these two out. The Descent was fantastic - I've seen a lot of people not like the crawlers or whatever they're called, saying they were un-needed, but I felt they were effective monsters, whilst also providing a welcome shake-up in the movie to keep it interesting.

An American Werewolf In London, sadly, hasn't aged well in terms of effects (except from his friend's first re-appearance, that was fantastic make-up), which provides a good amount of comedy on top of already funny sections of the movie. That said, the story and script is as solid as ever, and the short scene in the London underground is still a fantastically shot scene.
