GoldenEye (3/8) Movie CLIP - Back From the Dead (1995) HD

Happy 60th Birthday to Sean Bean who played former 006 agent turned villain in the 1995 James Bond film Alec Trevelyan (one of the best Bond Villains), Boromir in the Lord of the Rings movies, and Ned Stark in Game of Thrones. He's also perhaps best known for those Boromir "One Does Not Simply" memes.
I guess now is as good a time as any but fuck Game of Thrones for casting him as Ned Stark only to kill him off in only nine episodes. Sure, he could've done more with Bond but Bond villains are mostly one and done. Yeah, Boromir was killed off in the first LOTR but at least he appeared in the other two films via flashbacks and hallucinations and the LOTR films are 3 hours each.

By the end of the 80s, the Mario franchise went from humble beginnings with Mario as the hero of Donkey Kong to an Arcade in Mario Bros to exploding in popularity with Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System and becoming one of the top franchise players in the video games business. Before Mario, Nintendo had created a portable game called the "Game n' Watch" which was a watch that played a simple game which proved very successful. By the end of the 80s, Nintendo decided to create a new portable system that played games on little cartridges and was charged with four AA Batteries. The portable system would be known as the Game Boy and would become one of Nintendo's most successful creations. To no surprise, Nintendo decided on creating a Mario game to go along with the Game Boy and released a new and different Mario adventure called Super Mario Land. Here, we'll take a look at Super Mario Land as the 30th Anniversary is approaching.

With the recent report and pic of the Black Hole, I love some have made great points about how it resembles the eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Rings or the Red Ring of Death from X-Box 360s that signal that it's broken.
