I am not talking about the actors, I am talking about the character, as he is seen in the movies. The action of the James Bond films are not outside of time : the cold war disappeared, internet, cell phones and smart phones appeared. The action of the Bond film takes place in the "present times"...

My understanding is that her character was added in the script by the director. I read something to that effect in an interview of Armas.

I would guess it has more to do with the fact Bond has been an active agent for 70 years (in Dr. No he is no newbie even if its the first mission we see).

Back in the import community in the mid '90s many people had Super Famicom copiers and there was a whole black market of copied floppies from people who knew a guy who knew a guy who ran a BBS or something. From that era there were for me several very memorable unknown games that I only saw in...

It's being made by Illumination, the studio that makes the Despicable Me and the Secret Life of Pets films. Probably better news than having a 3D film made in Japan though. In any case, Pratt or not Pratt, live action or 3D, the real question is.... who gives a rat's ass about a Mario story ...

In a typical Villeneuve way, the answer to the question "When is serious time?" is "All the time." It makes the film both monumental and a bit draining. I guess it's in part due to Villeneuve's style and also possibly the constraint of adapting for the screen a sprawling novel : all the low...

There is really nothing generic about Actraiser 2. It has one of the most complex control scheme ever devised for a 2D action game. If I am counting right, the character has 7 different sword attacks and you can charge your attack which leads to 6 or 7 different spells, not moving and not...

Half of me want to support the IP and see the new content, the other half wonders why "updated" visuals have to look so bad compared to the original. PS : It's also on PlayStation, PC... iOS and Android?

I was about to say "They just made a Macbeth movie already!", but the Macbeth with Fassbender was 6 years ago... @spronk about Denzel, he has been a doing a movie a year for the past 20ish years, so I am not sure what you mean.

Damn, Paul Shrader. What a blast from the past ! He wrote four scenarios for Scorsese, but he is very good as a director also. Mishima : A Life in Four Chapters is a masterpiece with an insane score by Philip Glass and a timeless performance by Ken Ogata. I remember Affliction being great also...

What 'breathtakingly beautiful' means for a fictional character does not conjure the same image for book reader Aldarion and film director Denis Villeneuve. News at 11 !

You know films are influential when people are writing fan fictions about the production process....

A title is a title is a title. You can only beat the people that are on the other side of the net and it's futile to try and estimate how unfavorable or unfavorable circumstances were. A draw that opens up can mean facing a journeyman on a hot streak and also comes with an added burden of...

Saw some streamer play it with some friends online and that seemed pretty fun. Tip : Be sure that the person with a flamethrower has a cool head and don't run in front of that person ! :D

If you want to feel even worse BarbarousKing beat the game the other day in bloodmoon difficulty and torchless. Needless to say it took time and many attempts !

Legend of Zelda maker is probably a false good idea. The genius of Mario Maker is the many ways items, enemies and the player can interact with each other. There really is none of that in Zelda. But maybe they will explore new territories...

That creates a balance issue : not having the baliset makes it more costly to fake the residual poison !

On planet Earth, Joaquin Phoenix got nominated for 6 Golden Globes over the years and won one. As for Academy Awards, he got nominated 4 times and got one. His collection of 47 awards also include a BAFTA, a Grammy, and a Best Actor award from the Cannes Film Festival. On planet Earth, Joaquin...

Never played it, but Daughters of Ash is supposed to be a very good Dark Souls mod.

Played through 11S recently and also did everything in it except the secret post-final trial in Pang Tang. I am pretty happy with the way I dealt with the post game boss (Timewyrm) as I used minimal cheese compared to what I have seen on youTube, so it was a long struggle with a couple...

Saw this a few months back. Not the greatest movie ever, but the pacing is pretty good so it's a pleasant watch. I wondered the whole way through why they picked an actor with almost no screen presence in the lead and was surprised to learn he is actually famous for the TV Show The Good Doctor...

The citation is already in my post : the pdf linked is the official list of controlled substances published by the Narcotics Control Departement of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare where you can see methylphenidate is a controlled substance of the class "Psychotropics". The...

Because apparently I have nothing else to do : https://www.ncd.mhlw.go.jp/en/application.html https://www.ncd.mhlw.go.jp/dl_data/keitai/list.pdf My understanding : - Adderall is a cocktail of amphetamines it is 100% banned in Japan. - Ritalin is a brand name for methylphenidate which is a...

Absolutely awesome men double quarter final about to begin in Badminton between a japanese and a taiwanese pair. Check it if you can ! EDIT: And it's over ! Some great rallies and shots but the japanese were a bit too nervous so there was little doubt as to what the result would be. A bit sad...

I am probably the greatest Shyamalan apologist on these boards. Did not like this movie. Here and there Shyamalan reminds us he is a great director (some shot compositions, the matches in the cave scene, the back and forth lateral travelling in the fire scene, etc) but it's too few and far...

Silly question but.... how much metal do you have to have in your body to not be allowed to compete in sports ? I mean, in the case of MMA, who wants to low kick into a metal plate ?

If the substitutes score, Southgate is labeled a tactical genius, if they don't he's an idiot. If he does not sub people in and some tired starters miss, he is an idiot.... tough job ! I still feel that subbing people in at the last minute to shoot a penalty is weird. But again, when would you...

To be fair, there has been way more matches in this edition and I suspect that, without the VAR, several of these own goals would have been attributed to the striker whose shot got deflected or to the attacking player that pressured the defender into error.

Are there examples where subbing in some shooters at the very end of the match paid off in the penalty shoot-out ? It sounds so incredibly difficult to me, mentally and physically, to go from the bench to shooting a critical penalty kick 2 minutes later...

Switzerland could not win two penalty shoot-out in a row as they lost to Spain. Spain could not win two penalty shoot-out in a row as they lost to Italy. Will Italy be able to win two in a row to become the champions ?

I guess it's a reboot if they plan to make other movies that are brand new stories instead of remakes of Highlander 2, 3, etc...

Silly question : why are these games called 4x ?

Make that 99.9% for me ! Hard pass.

It's nice to see English keepers are still doing English keepers things though :D

Obviously, 200k is more than 2k, but 2k is nothing to scoff at. Not all communities are created equal, but I would think that, in most cases, you can make some decent living with a 2k viewers average.

The Romanian fans who bought a ticket for the round of 16 played in Bucharest must not have been thrilled when it ended up being France vs Switzerland... but who could have expected such a crazy match ? What an insane and unpredictable thriller !

The only game I can think of that had a difficulty slider for puzzles is Silent Hill 2. Battle difficulty and puzzle difficulty were separated. I tried to play a bit with puzzles on hard and I don't think I managed to solve a single puzzle as suddenly clues were novel length texts with...

You could do the Trondheim - Menu challenge. Comic artist J. C. Menu challenged author Lewis Trondheim to write a whole album of comic strips based on 4 panels drawn by Menu. Trondheim asked for an additional 4 and then created 100 strips packed full of hilarious, absurd and deep philosophical...

Japan has been less and less relevant when it comes to non-handheld consoles. They have between 4 and 5 times fewer PS4 compared to Europe and NA. It was 3 times fewer with the PS3 and 2 times fewer with the PS2. But they have comparable numbers when it comes to the 3DS or the Switch.
