Oh yeah that came out yesterday. Definitely getting it !!

Watched it yesterday, thought it was his best Bond outing in the series for Craig. I only have one minor complaint.
In the previous Bond flick, when he had to pass his test again, he couldn't shoot accurately 30 feet in front of him. In this last Bond flick, he shoots like a marksman. Holding an automatic rifle in one hand and shooting people a hundred feet away. Hitting a helicopter engine, while bouncing in a boat no less, hundreds of feet away with a pistol. Whatever regiment he went on between flicks, I want it too.HT SYSTEM-

I am crazy; just ponder my moniker!
Thanks for reminding me; I had forgotten this salient feature of my existence.
All I knew when I ordered the new "Star Wars" was that it is BD.
If I don't like it, I'll get a better one -- maybe.Post edited by Moose68Bash onFamily Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.

I guess it's the greatest franchise in the history of movies...Can't think of anything that comes close.
There are 24 EON Productions Bond films.... I thought I saw them all... But I don't think I saw # 15 The Living Daylights.... going to have to look into that.
There is also the original Casino Royale starring David Niven.... Which I did see.My New Year's resolution is 3840 × 2160

If you like Bond, and haven't seen it yet, check out Fleming: The Man who would be Bond on Netflix. Much better than I expected.
And it's not available there anymore but Everything or Nothing was a good documentary about the James Bond films. -

I think, after finally watching it that Spectre might be Craigs best/worst. It was good up until the last 20 minutes. Then it got "Connery Bond" where they pull off the wildest impossible. Good ending to the series, just dumb James Bond luck ended......if you know what I mean.Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!
