Her parents travel around with her. But yes you're right. She can't really go anywhere in public anymore. She went to a friends wedding reception recently and there was a massive crowd outside of the venue.


I know people are going to say 'she makes all that money why should i feel bad for her' but that kind of life where you're mobbed constantly and have a hard time even going outside would be kind of miserable.

ablegator posted...
This might be true, but I get the itch to rewatch the Nolan movies more often. I love them all for different reasons, with Rises having enough going on that Im just in and can ignore all the nonsense.

I have all the Bond Hot Takes.

Octopussy is the best Moore movie

Goldfinger is the worst thing that could have happened. Dr. No and From Russia With Love were mostly heightened spy movies, after Goldfinger hit the movies were off to the circus.

The Pierce Brosnan films are action films, not spy movies. And they wasted Michelle Yeoh.

The films should have limited continuity and just be episodic. The attempt at an arch through the Craig films is off putting, to me.

license to kill is a Miami vice episode only uglier and more cheaply made than 80s TV. But what a cast!


Some great takes IMO. Here's my Bondian hot takes:

Tomorrow Never Dies is the worst Bond movie of the entire franchise, The World Is Not Enough is right behind it. And i agree completely on Michelle Yeoh - Wai Lin is one of the most forgettable Bond girls ever, and it wasn't Michelle Yeoh's fault.

Die Another Day is a great Bond movie.......until it moves to Iceland. Gustav Graves, Zao, both good villains.

Of Dalton's two movies, License To Kill is much better than Living Daylights (and you will never convince me otherwise), even though it has THE. WORST. TWO. BOND GIRLS. Of the entire franchise, and yes that's even after considering Christmas Jones.

Live And Let Die is kind of offensive in that every single black person in the movie is either portrayed as a bad guy from the get go or revealed as a villain later on. The ONLY one I can think of who isn't a villain is the one cop who corners Bond in an alley but even he starts off seemingly a bad guy since he has a gun on Bond.

And here's a hot take that's going to floor everybody - Spectre is the 2nd best of the Craig films behind Casino Royale.

Call me a prude all you want, but that seggs scene was totally unnecessary. I mean it just kills the pacing. Cameron was a perv for directing it. I can just imagine how things were on set.


Call me crazy but that scene was absolutely necessary. Obviously it's the precursor to John's existence but it's meaningful because as Kyle points out, he doesn't know what love is because of the hell on earth he comes from, where every second he's thinking about how to survive. So that scene IMO was emotional and powerful and not a throwaway scene of people having sex just because. Honestly I can't even think of a sex scene in any movie that was as intricate to the plot and yet pure emotion.

The lines aren't bad as long as you don't go during rush hour.

True, although half the time longass lines are because people create a loooooong line for the self checkout line thinking its faster.

Their regular pizza is cheaper and better than any delivery chain so we get that a lot.

Ive never been a fan. Its almost tasteless, the amount of oil on it is disgusting, blah. Worst pizza ive ever had IMO. Maybe its different in other warehouses but it *should* basically be the same everywhere since they follow the same procedure.

andrewl923 posted...
The Costco I go to has an outdoor food court, and they don't ask for membership.

Some still do. Vancouver has one and because they're really close to the sports arenas, they make huge bank. Hawaii IIRC also has one.

party_animal07 posted...
Is it true they can revoke your membership at will?

From what i've seen it takes a lot. Theft obviously is a big reason for it happening. Although i had one manager, who if she was dealing with an irate customer she'd always hilariously say, 'well if you are unhappy with your experience, let's go to the membership desk and we'll cancel your membership.' They'd always back down

FolkenRawr posted...
The Costco I go to doesn't require membership to get the food. The hotdogs are damned good

We were told a story about the people in head office. Many people went to Jim (the top guy at the time, who by the way always wanted to be called Jim, not Mr. Sinegal) and told him we need to increase the price of the hotdog, we're losing money on it etc. He vehemently refused and said something to the effect of 'the price of the hotdog will never change and that's that.'

Corbenik posted...
I heard you can buy that stuff without membership is that true?


Kind of. You can walk to the membership and ask for a temporary, one-time-use membership. People do this all the time. They give you a paper with the barcode on it, which the cashier either scane or manually types in.
