Shaken, not stirred.

I stumbled upon this today somehow - in honor of the release of Quantum of Solace, the new Bond movie, Rotten Tomatoes has released a list of the best bond films. I find myself agreeing with most of the list but there are some odd inclusions in there - like how they ranked Living Daylights higher than License to Kill...

Pussy Galore

As an aside, anyone want to catch the new Bond movie sometime soon? I would have hated to miss Casino Royale when it was in theaters.

Dildo, the reason you think License to Kill was better than Living Daylights is probably because you have the two confused.

Har Har..
license to kill is the one where he tries to bust up a drug cartel that's combinin oil with cocaine. living daylights is the one with the blonde russian cello player who "defects" and the patton wannabe arms dealer.

hum...well the cello player was actually set up to look like she was going to assassinate someone else who wanted to defect but who wasn't really trying to defect, who was actually her boyfriend, who was trying to get her killed, by having her shoot him, which somehow leads us to an illegal weapons for heroin trade in Afghanistan orchestrated by some nutcase American general. You see, its all very complex and epic. License to kill was fine but they could have used the same storyline in some show like Walker Texas Ranger. It just lacked the exotic element.

ok, so I checked the list. I know its matter of taste but those rankings are insane. Its as if the whole thing was done at random.

Master of the Craw said...

Erm... yes... does that plot make any sense to you at all other than as a vector of random violence?
Well, I guess that's all bond really is anyways.

And I agree, some of their choices were completely bizarre. Like some of them they ranked highly just because of the theme song...
