This website is all jacked. I posted a review of Narcos Mexico S1, but it never showed up. 

In short: it was really good. Not as good as Narcos Columbia because Pablo Escobar was so good.  But still very very good. And the one scene with Pablo in Narcos Mexico was so good. 

The Escobar seasons were so good. I’m halfway through Mexico and it’s deifinitely not on their level, but it’s really good.

Also re-watching every Bond film on Prime. The older I get, the more I realize that really good bond films are few and far between. The great ones are pretty much:

  • Casino Royale (2006 version)
  • Goldfinger
  • Golden Eye
  • Skyfall
  • From Russia with Love

That's it. There are some iconic films and ones that are good, but the great ones...just 5.

I would definitely throw Dr. No in there, too.  Maybe Thunderball as well.  Good list, though.

Dr. No was right at 6 for me.

For Your Eyes Only is one of my personal favorites. A couple really fun chase scenes and that mountain climbing bit near the end was insane (probably in part because I don't like heights, but still...).

Watched them all over the summer. While I generally agree with the top ones CoA listed, I put that one up with them. Maybe Live and Let Die, although that might have to do more with how I loved the campy-as-hell blaxploitation aspects. An island diplomat who moonlights as an inner city drug lord with a voodoo priest on staff? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP NOW!!!!

Well, A View to a Kill is my favorite, but I can admit that it's campy as hell and not that great a movie.

For Your Eyes Only is good, though.  And LALD is hilarious.

A View to a Kill is great solely because of (1) Christopher Walken being Christopher Walken (ie: auto-add 1-2 points to the overall rating) and (2) those scenes of Bond berating the old dude he was working with under the pretense that Bond was a fancy horse owner type and his partner was his servan

I haven't watched The Office in 10 years, only watched the first few seasons. 

 

I am watching it over again now, on season 3. Some episodes are not hilarious, but overall the show is amazing.

 

The best scene in any show ever has to be their CPR training scene. I have embedded this scene (if I get it right).

I'm not going to try and embed this but one of my favorite Office moments was from the customer service episode.

I just saw this. I’m intrigued. Apparently it can go as long as 5.5 hours.

I watched/ tried it yesterday. 

My version/s was 2 hours. I liked it actually. The story was interesting enough and I did like how once you finished one ending, it allows you to go back and view some other options.

Anyone (online) put together any stats on number of different storylines that you can create, max/min time, etc?

I finished Maisel a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it. It is not as good as the 1st season, but I enjoyed the middle set of episodes a lot.
