James Bond - Moonraker Intro + Song

Happy 40th Anniversary to Moonraker, the 11th James Bond and Roger Moore's fourth as 007. The movie sees the return of Richard Kiel as the iconic villain Jaws and the final one to feature original M Bernard Lee who had played M since the first Bond Dr. No in 1962 as he passed away in 1981 during production of For Your Eyes Only though he wasn't able. The song is sung by Shirley Bassey who makes history singing her third Bond theme after having already done Goldfinger in 1964 and Diamonds Are Forever in 1971. As of 2019, Bassey is the only singer to sung more than one Bond theme.

Bob Gun Batman 1989

Forget "Why so serious?", there's one true Joker quote to recite and remember: "Bob, gun" or at least "Did you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?". Also, sucks no other Joker in movies, TV, or comics ever had their own Bob the Goon.



"I'm Batman" Opening Scene | Batman (1989) Movie Clip

Great first appearance. Such a testament to Michael Keaton's talent as he was mostly a comedic actor but showed here there were no fun and games. Amazing how he went from someone people were dreading as Batman to one of the best.

Batman Soundtrack - 01. The Batman Theme

Happy 30th Anniversary to the classic Batman or Batman '89. To me, the Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, and Danny Elfman Batmans are the best. Also, I wish someone could explain why Elfman never got Oscar nominations for the soundtracks.

Look at the 2019 ZERO1 Fire Festival and the Participants

Look at the 2019 ZERO1 Fire Festival and the Participants
June 16, 2019 
By Ryan Porzl

Back in April, I looked at the participants for All Japan's top tournament the Champion Carnival so now I figure I do the same for Pro Wrestling ZERO1's top tournament the Fire Festival. The Fire Festival is like most Japanese tournaments in that it's round robin with one or two blocks of wrestlers battling it out and the top two meet in the finals to decide the winner. The prize for winning the Fire Festival is the Fire Sword, a red katana that the winner holds on to for a year until the next tournament. Unlike most of these tournaments, the winner isn't guaranteed a world heavyweight championship shot as some received one but some have not while others were reigning champion.

LICENCE TO KILL HIGH DEFINITION

Happy belated 30th Anniversary to Licence To Kill, the 16th official James Bond which premiered on June 13th. One of the greatest Bonds of all time, it also proved to be the end of an era in many ways. The film marked Timothy Dalton's second and (sadly) final outing as James Bond while being the last to feature Robert Brown as M after four movies and Caroline Bliss as Miss Moneypenny.

What does God need with a starship? (Star Trek: The Final Frontier)

Happy 30th Anniversary to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Yes, it's pretty much the worst Star Trek film at least not counting the JJ Abrams films to some but it is an important film as it gave Trekkies and people the most important question to ask God if we ever were able to ask one question: "What does God need with a Starship?". Just remember, if you do run into someone claiming to be God, you don't ask the Almighty for his I.D.
