The Film Thugs Movie Show

For some reason there are still people willing to debate who the best Bond was. It's just damned idiotic. There's nothing wrong with liking Moore, Bronsnan, Dalton, Lazenby, or Craig. Each of these guys have their relative merits. Each one of them is working at one distinct disadvantage... none of them are Sean Connery. There's nothing wrong with claiming one of the others as the best, but there are also ways of getting attention that don't make you look as stupid. So, for the record, Connery is the best Bond. Period. Oh, and this is our 54th episode. Now, take into account the Oscar results special and the St. Patrick's Day special and this becomes our 52nd weekly show, which means that we have now been doing this for one full year. Time really does fly when you're having fun! Thank you all for letting us be part of your movie world.

Isn't it funny how sometimes a a the smallest character in a movie can be the most interesting? How there are certain scenes that last a minute, maybe two, but somehow end up being all you and your friends can talk about afterwords? What is the difference between a good character and a bad character? In this show we attempt to find some direction towards an answer to that question while discussing some of our favorite characters.

We're back to finish it off. In their last three films Pixar has upped its game and delivered some of the finest, most thoughtful, and finely crafted animation ever. We have a chaotic, disorganized, and slightly intoxicated discussion about them.

Pixar is amazing. That is not an opinion, that is fact. This week Jim, Vijay (from the fabled St. Patrick's Day show), and Rick (from the United States of Geekdom, check them out here) begin a discussion of what makes this company, and its films, so amazing.

We realized we hadn't talked about movie music yet, so here it is. We talk about our favorite scores and soundtracks and discuss what makes music so important in film.
