I know opinions come a dime a dozen, but for what it's worth, a lot of early reviews for "Skyfall" are saying it could possibly be the best Bond movie of all time, right up there with Goldfinger and Dr. No. Now I'm even more stoked!

And Naomie Harris is a Bond Girl?!?!?! Ohhh man she's hot!

Newspaper critics rushed to print and celebrities took to Twitter after seeing "Skyfall," with many calling it the best Bond film in the franchise's 50-year history.

British GQ magazine tweeted: "Just seen #skyfall. Daniel Craig is magnificent - you will not be disappointed." The Times film critic Kate Muir tweeted that she gave "Skyfall" five stars, calling it "a return to classic form and a great British bulldog of a movie."

BBC Radio 1's film critic Rhianna Dhillon tweeted: "WOW! You have a massive treat in store for you! Don't want to review it on air in case I give anything away! It's just so good!"

British comedian Graham Norton, who hosts a TV talk show on BBC 1, tweeted: "Skyfall is perfection!!!!!"

Good. Quantum Of Solace let me down big time. They had to go big with this. Craig is simply an awesome Bond. I said it after watching just the first 10 minutes of Casino Royale. The guy just has it.

Totally agree. Craig is more of a rough and rugid Bond, not the pretty boy like Pierce was.

Pierce would prefer to shoot you with his laser watch, where as Craig would rather three-piece your face and throw you off a balcony. :)

Hey now, I loved me some Pierce, but yeah, Craig is definitely more bad ass, and will snap your neck.

I'm with ya, nothing against Pierce. Goldeneye was classic. But he was definitely more of a martini kinda guy. I could see Craig chugging a pint of Wild Turkey. lol

Pierce was great, but he also had the huge benefit of coming along in the Big Explosion 90's, with technological advancements that had not been seen before, therefore he had the best gadgets, best cars, best fight sequences, etc. I think the people in charge definitely wanted to show all of that off, and you can tell that they kind of toned it down in Craig's movies, and tried to go for more substance. That Vanquish chase scene in the ice palace, and the remote controlled Bimmer are some of the best sequences I've ever scene, and Pierce definitely gave you the Bond feel, with his swagger/bravado, which was a far cry from whoever the hell that dude was that they used in the 80's.

Yesterday's episode of Revolution was really good. Right now the biggest problem of the show is the actress who plays Charlie, she's good looking but can't act for diddly poo.

I'm really curious about this show. What's it about and how is it?

I was watching Terra Nova, but I guess that's gone now. Too bad.

Not sure yet man. Funds a little low. I've been playing BF3, I think I played against you on conques the other day. Need to squad up one of these days.

Oh true. I saw you send me a message asking for an invite, but I think i was right in the middle of a heated conquest battle. I thought I saw your name pop up a few times...i think you owned me :ols:

I started to expand outside the assault kit and now have UMP for recon, support, and engineer.

Good stuff. Since there are so many tank sluts in the BF3 community, Engineers are their worst nightmare :)

Basically all the electricity in the world stops working, and the world is in a post apocalyptic state. Militias run what was once the U.S. Charlie is the main character, her father supposedly knew about the blackout in advance and how to bring the power back but he was killed. Her brother has been kidnapped by the militia and so far she's been working to rescue him along with her uncle and a couple other people.

Some of the dialogue is cheesy but the story isn't bad and other then Charlie and her brother, the acting is solid. Giancarlo Esposito is one of the main antagonists and he's awesome. The ratings have supposedly gone up big time(at least relative to what NBC normally gets).

Regarding Terra Nova, the ratings for that show were actually quite good. Unfortunately production costs were way too high so they had to cancel it because it was losing money.

It is extremely stupid that the NFL Has to cater to the younger generation and have Beyonce allegedly do the halftime show this year. Stop putting new stars on stage, and bring back the legends.

It's no coincidence that Springsteen, McCartney, and The Who had 3 of the best halftime shows in the 2000's. Even Tom Petty, American rock legend, contributed to a great show. The last 3 shows (if you include this Beyonce one) will have been abominations. The one last year was so bad I didn't bother watching. The one before last year was awful. The NFL has got to go back to what works, because no one cares about these new stars.

We are on the way to having Minaj do the half-time show next year, just to cater to the youth. Forget that
