    Having a "best 5" is way more than most directors. It's also a hell of a good Virtual Pinball Machine (I don't think it was ever a real machine, but it may have been): https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/11309-big-trouble-in-little-china/

    Wow- I just watched it (Skyfall). Man... I dunno what to say. I just HATE James Bond in the 21st century. It's like he doesn't belong here. Think Austin Powers. When you TRY to force the character into the moral background it just doesn't work at all. Just get rid of the idea of James Bond...

    It's been done. Repeatedly. Remember "The Bell Curve?" But the often quoted example of two plants--- one given light and nutrition and the other starved, is a flawed model, because no matter how much you feed either plant, they will reach an genetically derived limit. No "Jack & the Beanstalk"...

    That is precisely what happened last New Year's eve when the son of "the strip club king" got one for his birthday and hit my neighbor's tree at about 120 mph (our street is one block long).

    It's phenomenal. Unbelievable geopolitical thriller with the depth and complexity of LeCarre. She is brilliant. And it's her first novel. A GREAT read.
