Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Xenia Onatopp is possibly the objectively worst-written part of the movie, every bit as much male-gazy garbage as the T-X, but OTOH she kills a guy by crushing his diaphragm with her thighs during sex - on-camera! - and tries and fails to do the same to Bond, so who's to say if she's good or not? 🤷 000
Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026And, in the secondary Bond girl/primary henchman role, they had, um. Well. 100
Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Action, tension, humour, Brosnan makes Bond cool without being too silly or too grim, a script that manages to make a wild geopolitical upset since the last Bond movie seem like part of the plot despite being the plot actually being a standard Bondian "crazed megalomaniac wants revenge and/or $$$". 110
Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Semi-relatedly, let's talk about a *good* movie that warped my poor youthful brain! 1995's _Goldeneye_. It is, I think, the perfect Bond movie? (Maybe just because I saw it first, but still.) 101

Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As embarrassing as it is to say: Muppet Treasure Island. I freaked out when they fell into the cave in the dark and made my dad physically leave the theatre with me. One 10-second scene and I skipped the entire back third of the movie. 😬😅 110
Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 04/10/2026My most played game by a country mile is Zachtronics solitaire, which I certainly think is a well-made game, but does not deserve to be #1 (and if you could get rid of "podcast play time", wouldn't be!) 000

Reposted by ZyzzyvaThe Crusader Project @crusaderproject.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I would just like to note that the Allies started winning WW2 when they moved from naming their tanks after racist Confederate loser traitors (Stuart, Lee) to naming them after righteous Union winners (Sherman). The British caught on to this earlier, renamed the Lee the Grant, and never looked back. 1224044

Astronaut: "we are-" Third doctor: "right, cut it open." It doesn't sound like a lot in the telling but I dunno, I have *never* been so energized to find out what's going to happen next. 130
Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's a really good one, but I'm still partial to The Ambassadors of Death, ep 2, where they retrieve a space capsule after much trials, but the astronauts won't open it and just keep blandly reciting "situation normal" messages. 120

Zyzzyva @zyzzyva.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I kinda have a special place in my heart for "The Shunned House" for being not so much an obvious inspiration for the RPG as somehow actually an CoC session as a story, fifty years early. 020
