Just watching On Her Majesty's Secret Service , and I forgot how the middle part on Piz Gloria bored me, seeing Bond hop from bed to bed with the allergy chicks. *YAWN*
Viagra, anyone?

Chuck; awesomely fun! Best cast since Firefly!

Best Bond films (IMHO); From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, GoldenEye. Don't like the newer Bond movies. If I want to watch a short blond guy play a spy, I'll stick with the Bourne movies, which are MUCH better!

The Bourne Trilogy: best spy movie series ever!

Ronin; one of the most realistic, unromantic, spy movies ever made!

Burn Notice; great show, great cast, and great fun!

La Femme Nikita; brilliant movie, not to be confused with seriously inferior Hollywood remake (Point of No Return) or series of the same name.

The Harry Palmer Trilogy: the anti-bond series that inspired Mike Meyers' Austin Powers! Classics!

Munich; a cold, harsh, unforgiving look at what it means to be a spy/assassin for your country! Based on actual events!



I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

I liked Marie, but her death (by Dr. McCoy no less) reminded everyone this wasn't some lame Bond movie knockoff. I actually like Nikki better, and thought it was interesting how Julia Stiles role grew with each movie. The scene where she cuts and dyes her hair in the last film was heartbreaking though, because of the pained double take Jason gives when he sees her!
