anyone ever watch this ? I know its been a huge cult following for some for a long time so I am really late to the game
doing a bunch of edit work I often put shows on that I can kinda watch on the side
just watched Band of Brothers and The Pacific for the XXXXX time so decided to mix it up
The originals from back in the 60s-90s, or the more recent run that started in the early 2000ās?
Watched (almost) all of them. Not too bad if you donāt mind cheesy early special effects. Iād say the past 3-4 years the stories havenāt had as much depth to them. Past 2 years thereās a noticeable slow introduction of SJW ideas/topics.
I have a friend who has most likely watched every episode of this. It happened that my daughter had an appointment with Dr Hu one day. You can imagine the fun we had calling said friend and telling him that we had just met Dr Who⦠:evil grin:
At a Comic Con panel the new female Doctor is playing up Identity Politics.
DOCTOR WHOāS FIRST FEMALE DOCTOR WILL BRING A NEW GENERATION OF WHOVIANS
āI wanted to run about and jump aboutāand those people didnāt really look like me. I hope we as friends are what young kids can now look up to and go, āOh man! I want to do that.ā Well, you can. Because we are, and we want you all on our journey.ā
Roger Moore was Flemingās blunt instrument when I was born and growing up. I think he is the WORSE Bond ever and he admitted his films were the worst in the franchise (though that has more to do with writers/directors than him) in several interviews before his death. Best Bond ever was Sean Connery and the next IMHO is Daniel Craig.
And as I grew up with Connery and Moore, I enjoyed Moore as Bond and have some very fond memories of Moore as Bond. My favorite Bond movie to this day is probably Live and Let Die.
Moore was good for the gadget/fun/adventure Bond. Connery was good for the Cold War sophisticated middle-aged spy bond. Timothy Dalton was good as the cool ādonāt mess with me Bond.ā Pierce Brosnan most looked the part. And Daniel Craig is supposedly the closest to the Bond in the novels. So take your pick.
To me only George Lazenby didnāt really make enough of an impression to have any lasting effect. I call him the āunderstudyā Bond.
Jeremy Brett will always forever be the greatest Sherlock. Iām even a member of the late actorās fan club for his Granada television series where he took Sherlock to the masses, I wished I saw his stage performance of Sherlock when he was touring before his death.
Oh save us from an SJW Bond. As an aside, Sherlock is not one who eschews life in London and looks like he hasnāt eaten this month. Sherlock should be a real man with a real manās faults and habits.
Jeremy Brett will always be the one, only, and true Sherlock in my book. Came upon the show on PBS when I was a kid one night. Was so intrigued by the performance and writing that I went to the library the next day, checked out the complete works, and for the next few days all I did was read in my spare time⦠which in turn opened up the door to even more literary classics. As much as I like the Cumberbatchās performance in the updated series, I very seriously doubt had I saw it back then I wouldāve been as impressed or my bookcases as filled as they are today.
Indeed, Brett as Holmes was superb. David Burke was also excellent as Dr Watson.
I could not stand the old movies which portrayed Watson as a buffoon. He was a British Army medical doctor, and a veteran of the Afghan campaigns. Watson was definitely a badass in his own right.
I have the entire Granada Television series on DVD, and enjoy it a great deal. Usually with a glass of single malt Scotch, and a pipe of Dunhill tobacco.
