New England B.S. Thread

Got my 50 years of Bond blu-ray collection in the mail yesterday. May have stayed up too late last night...

 

That's a lot of bond. Probably take a week marathon straight.

 

Yeah, 23 films. I watched Dr. No after supper, and then against my better judgement popped in From Russia with Love after that. It may have been after midnight when I went to bed, lol.

 

I still love watching old Sean as Bond. New ones are good too. Roger Moore's episodes are almost comedy... How many are there all together?

 

Spectre made 24 when it came out this fall.
A lot of Roger Moore's were comedy, really. Some of them were even to the point of slapstick at times. Still entertaining, but I have to be in the right mood for them. Connery is the classic bond, and then (in my opinion) there really wasn't a good one again until Brosnan's reboot with Goldeneye (but then the writing went downhill pretty fast). So far I'm impressed with Daniel Craig as Bond, even though I was pretty skeptical when they first named him as the next one. I haven't seen Spectre yet, but his previous three were good.

I have to agree Noel. Not sure where the writing changed but the Craig movies seem far more about the intrigue .... The "fun bits" are still there. Like watching straighten his cuffs as that train car disintegrates behind him gets me every time.

I must give a look on http://movietv.to/movies and see how good the show quality is.... It can be a bit sketchy now and then

 

I think it was Casino Royal, that made me cringe when he was sitting in the chair and they were torturing him by smashing his jewels

 

God yes. I could practically feel mine hiding in my stomach during that scene.

The series definitely took a darker turn with Casino Royale. Took itself more seriously, with more (theoretically) realistic villians rather than megalomaniacs with outlandish "World Domination" schemes.

 

In that regard, anyone else remember "The Serpent and The Rainbow"? Makes that scene look tame

 

That's that old horror movie with what's-his-name, the president from Independence Day, right?
Bill something.

 

Bill Pullman yup..another Wes Craven gem

 

So far, I like the weather this winter.

 

Hey everyone. I'm just going to copy and paste what I wrote in a new thread.

Didn't think enough to search deep into the forum.

What's up dudes.


I've owned my Tacoma for about a month now and have gotten familiar with this forum and everything that comes with it.

My truck has a pretty significant rake, that I want to get rid of.

I am looking to level the truck completely. Whether it be lift the front end or the entire thing.

As of now I'm looking to get two billy 5100's with 884x for the front just to level the truck.


If I knew how to do it myself, I would in a heart beat. Unfortunately I do not.


I live in Norwood Massachusetts. Does anyone know any shops that do things like this? Or does anyone on here in MA want to do it for some extra cash?

Thanks for the help.

Double cab. Short bed. 2012 TRD sport

I want more snow

 

Move to Alaska

 

Haha, I guess I don't like it that much but I like a fresh coating every now and then.

 

I like one good storm to play in, them I'm done lol

 

That looks like fun!

The lone time I was on a sled I was 13 or 14. I hit a tree. After that I wasn't allowed to ride my cousin's snowmobile again. I'd do it in a heartbeat though.

I have my appointment at Copeland Friday to get my truck looked at. I'm wondering if my ATF was filled low from the factory since as the weather has gotten colder it clunks into OD for the first few shifts in the morning and likes to hunt between OD, lockup and 4th at 32-38 MPH and isn't smooth. I've got 2 quarts of WS and do know how to check it, but I figure while it's still got a warranty, I'll get it checked. If they don't/won't under warranty, I'll just do it Sunday since it's supposed to be warm. I'm also going to push for the TSB-0044-14 which is for pinging, but it remaps the shift points which will probably solve my issue. I'm sure I"ll get the "operating as designed" line though and get nothing out of the deal. Anyone here have a local dealer give them that TSB without a fight? The truck will ping in overdrive up a low speed grade on 87, but the winter masks a lot of that. I worry the lift will be given as the blanket reason they can't do anything, but shift points aren't controlled by the lift, it's engine speed/tire size, which I'm currently 100% stock.

 

Well my youngest is back on the road so LOOK OUT. She was lucky and when she hit the curb it only cost her a wheel. The suspension was fine. Wheel is on and it will be aligned today. I got stuck at work again otherwise it would have been complete. Now I have to get under the older daughter car to fix an exhaust leak (cat back system) and repair a fuel leak. The fleet is taking a beating this year
