Oh Octopussy is just FUN. The set pieces are probably some of the best in the whole series

Brosnan played the peak 90s, early 00s so well

Dalton I think had 2 of the best written, and well thought out movies though.

Living Daylights is still a great film that holds up. Not as complex as licence to kill, but it's got a good plot and pacing

I used to ask if Moonraker or Spy Who Loved Me was more outlandish than the other

Moonraker's villain has a plot that seems way more feasible somehow lol

Peak Bondness for me has got to be Spy Who Loved me

It's so cliche and out there, even for the 70s

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 6h

I have not, but Dalton really did fit the role, especially for the 80s. IMHO he needed one more movie because he was so underutilized before Brosnan took over

Live and Let Die is a trip. It's my dad's favorite and I love watching it with him

He said watching it when it debuted was an experience

License to Kill is probably the most genre breaking and experimental of the bond films

It's complex, that ending action chase is really cool for the time period

It's a solid and underrated film. And then Timothy Dalton is always great in everything

Goldeneye is a gold standard for spy films

Tomorrow Never Dies is peak 90s action shlock that we all love.

The only true bad Bond film is the shitty Thunderball remake where Sean Connery phoned it in

as i watch it i really do think i prefer TOMORROW NEVER DIES to GOLDENEYE

The old "America works best when we say Union Yes" Sign but it's modified very crudely to say "BlueSky works best when we say Jerry Yes"

Also if a source is disqualifying because it's Israeli, then I have bad news for you about official Palestinian channels, like the MOH in Gaza, because those are controlled by Hamas

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 8h

You know the aid is tracked by Israel and the UN right?

There were also multiple public offers from people who have experience coordinating and delivering aid

I'm confused as to why you want him to get endorsements from the same leaders you call feckless and useless

I thought y'all liked him, in part, because he was "taking on the party"

Do any of you guys have a single strategic bone between you?

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 12h

Maybe it's time for the pathetic and cowardly Democratic Leadership to FINALLY ENDORSE ZOHRAN MAMDANI?

1

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 9h

Ah right, here comes the part where I say the Israelis and you laugh because you think that's automatically disqualifying

So I'll point back to the multiple offers that were rejected to make sure the aid got into Gaza by countries not named Israel and the Pope

I'm sorry that's what your aligned movement has become.

Do better maybe?

I don't know why I love the drama around this, but my neuro spicy brain just wants more

Maybe it's because I'm watching another fetterman play out in real time, or I'm just Petty. I think it's both

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 11h

It's such a petty block. These people just don't live in reality if this is all it takes for them to block somebody

They really thought Emily's list of all organizations would endorse platner over Mills

Why are you surprised an org dedicated to electing pro-choice Dem women, endorsed the Pro-choice Dem woman?

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 11h

So you're supporting a former blackwater operative who styles himself "working class" and didn't even bother to hold local or state office prior to running for Senate?

There are 8 candidates and Maine has RCV. If people don't want Mills, she'll lose.

1

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 11h

For the same reason Cook now has the race as a toss up

Because Platner might actually not be all that in a crowded field

Reminds me of Bernie in 2020

I'm really enjoying the cope from the Platner supporters right now

All you guys have is ageism and entitlement

Why are you all so worried if he's all that? Is it because Graham didn't move the needle and now the race is a toss up with Mills?

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 11h

Why don't you just vote for him in the primary then?

Also these are all the people running, he's not the only "young" one

Spooky Chum @spookychum.bsky.social · 11h

Pro-choice org dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women, angers select voters for not endorsing the white man "outsider"

EMILYs List @emilyslist.bsky.social · 1d

While Susan Collins bows down to Trump, Maine Gov. Janet Mills is fighting back and winning. She's always fought for a better future for the people of Maine, and now, she'll take that fight to the U.S. Senate. That's why we're thrilled to endorse Gov. Mills for election to the U.S. Senate today.
