It was actually "a bloody big ship". But I like your version better.
I didn't realise until now that I misspelled it I meant ship but wrote sheep. quite frankly,it wouldn't suprise even if he said "sheep"...

Autocorrect fail? It made me laugh, anyway. If I'm ever forced to sit through Skyfall again, I shall get through the dreaded art gallery scene by mentally substituting "sheep" for "ship". They've sucked all the fun out of Bond, so I have to amuse myself somehow.

You know they screwed big time when you don't laugh even once during the movie. Casino Royale did just that for me. Not even "Every penny of it" made me laugh even though some Craig fans claimed how that's the most hilarious one-liner ever in the history of the franchise. I'm not kidding. Someone actually wrote that.

Ultron is underperforming the first Avengers film by 14% so far in the USA. That's unexpected, given it's hype and buildup. I will see it tonight.

Barbara Broccoli should check definitions of James Bond in the urban dictionary-maybe that would remind her.
One definition goes:"A man every guy is jelaous of."
And the other one goes:"Man,this guy killed Dr.Chilff and screwed his secretary.He pulled James Bond."

"I mean sir,who would pay million dollars to have me killed?"
"Jelaous husbands!Outraged chefs! Humiliated tailors!The list is endless!" This defines Moore's Bond perfectly IMO.

it may be another weak year for films. Just left avengers,, not as good as the first not bad either. Not sure what it was missing . Talking about it we think it was a set up for the next sequel.

The sports big weekend last week and Mother's Day this weekend probably dented the Bo.

Judging from the crowd at the early showing um it's got to be $60-80 million range for this weekend.

Antman trailer look good. The Sony movie about 80s video games staring Adam sandler looks so bad I hope this movie is the one that kills Sony off for good. Probably won't

Auto correct is the biggest pita . It corrects words I had correct Antman becomes Altman and so on.

Heh. I love the idea of Marvel doing a movie about a director of films where people mumble at each other for 2 hours.

The Man With The Golden Gun has some great dialogue. The dinner scene is one of my favourite parts of the film.

I like how uncle is doing their promotions . I think for Star Wars the clapper board pic was appropriate (for the first day of filming ) bond imho over uses weak nothing promotions , then again the literally wait to the last moment to film, release date October 2015, let's start filming in January and hope nothing goes wrong .

I did not like it at all. I loved the first Avengers film. The villain was quite far fetched and the plot got confusing. The Scarlet Witch was not needed at all and her mind games was a ridiculous waste of time. The Winter Soldier is the best of the series to me by far.

I don't hate it but it was not a s fulfilling as the first and it left so many story lines open it didn't feel like a good ending .

If looks like a set up for the up coming movies like civil war, than a honest sequel for the first movie.

For now, this is Whedon’s last directorial go-round with the Avengers movies. He has gone on record as saying he’s exhausted and that this is the hardest work he has done. The Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe, who did so well with Winter Soldier, will helm the next chapter, Avengers: Infinity War Part 1, due in 2018.

Maybe it's because I'm looking at them on my phone, but those SPECTRE clapperboard shots literally just look like shots of a clapperboard to me. I can't make out anything in the background, which is supposed to be the point of these things.

This is terrific. I think I was being too harsh when I said most of Moore's Bonds aren't worth a second watch. I also like how Bond said Scaramanga doesn't qualify as a gentleman. Moore's Bond was exactly that. Moore's Bond was a hero. Moore himself said how he always played heroes because he looked like one. While Connery's Bond seemed like less of a good chap than Moore's Bond. Connery's Bond may have been a good guy but not necessarily a good man.
Moore's Bond was definitely the most upper class out of them all. He just had that aristocratic vibe coupled with good comedic timing. I love Moore!

I got that impression too.

TMWTGG is SOLID bond movie...maybe little boring.(?)

First Update, Sunday AM: Avengers: Age of Ultron posted the second best second weekend (that’s a mouthful, but it’s true) with $77.2M, only to be outflanked by its former self, Avengers which made $103.1M during its second sesh. Ultron‘s second weekend translates into a 60% drop, which is typical for big openers. Total cume for the Disney/Marvel sequel stands at $312.86M. Ultron broke the $300M threshold in 10 days, tying The Dark Knight‘s pace to that mark. The Avengers, which holds the title as the fastest to clear $300M, did it in nine days. China opens Tuesday and the expectation is that Ultron is gonna hit $1B later this week. The studio’s target, of course, is to have the sequel hit the same numbers as the first pic which made $1.5B worldwide.

“We are playing to every audience in every market to every segment,” says Disney distrib chief Dave Hollis about the drill-down stats of Ultron. The Marvel film isn’t just a big city pic or one that’s confined to one region of the U.S. in terms of its performance, but is playing from big cities to small towns. Stateside, Imax made $6.4M or 8% of the weekend B.O bringing its 10-day cume to $29M. Overall, 3D hasn’t been as big with Ultron as it was with the first Avengers. 3D repped 44% of Ultron‘s opening weekend receipts versus 52% for the first one (blame higher ticket prices). Avengers: Age of Ultron per industry estimates saw a huge 60% spike on Saturday, which was expected since the superheroes didn’t have to compete against last weekend’s big boxing match on PPV. Between Friday and Saturday, Ultron moved from $21.34M to an estimated $34M at 4,276 theaters.
