That's how I'm thinking now, it's not a film to rush and see especially with what some are saying and of how you added that ppl were leaving before the end, it's not the way I expect Bond films to be.

They had that big, blocky, sharp-edged shield in the original. It totally blurred the person wearing it, and I simply couldn't unsee BlockHeads when it was on. The new one is much closer to the body, and didn't seem (from fight scenes where everyone died) to be quite as effective.

Ahh I see, lol. Yeah these new ones don't seem to do jack shit.
I just found an example of how bad the effects were from the original. Wow, just wow.

If I remember from the books, shields were developed to stop projectile/energy weapons. Thats why use of blades was so important in such an advanced society.

I don't think they've even begun filming the next part yet. It's going to be a long time before we can see it unfortunately.

Army of Thieves on Netflix was really good! The main girl in there was Daenerys’ right hand woman in Game of Thrones. She is so beautiful!

A lot of the new movies suck, this comedy with Danny Kaye as Ernie is a gem.

Watched Jack Reacher that was playing on EPIX. I'm a huge Tom Cruise fan. This was a good, entertaining movie.

Oh shit, this is soon huh? I need to hurry and watch the last season, er season before last now. Slightly stoked about this.

Also still haven't managed to secure the Creepshow series either. Work has consumed me as of late.
