Oh dear. I was slightly interested in 007 Legends. It's truly bizarre that the most obvious computer gameable film franchise ever keeps creating such shoddy dreck. Particularly odd in view of the greatness that was Goldeneye back in the day.

cool biker story!

that poor woman. :-( i hope they do something about it- i only hope such a mash of things isn't a common occurrence.

the urine generator story reminded me of Baldrick's "wine". :-)

Today's Case for Dinah Lance is much more compelling, I think.

Not got to it yet; I surf when working now. Otherwise waiting for people to pick up the phone is just DULL...

[miss_s_b]

OK, read it now. Yup, that's a pretty compelling argument right there.

Incidentally, I'd re-ask a question from the comics: I've been watching Arrow and wondered what your take on THAT Dinah was (we've just had the episode with Deadshot in if you are ahead of us in the US)

Really?

I will write up a quick "this is my opinion on Laurel" basic post later in the week, as you are not the first person to ask about her in particular.

(Spoiler: I think she's pretty great!)

[miss_s_b]

Long post is long! That will last me a good three or four phone calls... :)
