Final film appearance of Desmond Llewelyn as Q in the James Bond series

The World Is Not Enough marked the end of one of the biggest era's in James Bond history as it was the final time actor Desmond Llewelyn played gadget master Q after 17 films and 36 years as he went all the way back to the second Bond 1963's From Russia With Love which meant he worked with the first five Bonds in Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan.
In probably one of the eeriest stories out there, Llewelyn gave an interview in November 1999 claiming he wasn't retiring and would continue to work on the James Bond franchise "For as long as the producers want me and the almighty doesn't". Then a month later, he was killed in a car accident on December 19, 1999 at the age of 85.

I'm meant to say this on November 1st but people are now talking about Christmas. I love Christmas time but we still got Thanksgiving to look forward to and Black Friday to dread.

Just found out October 11th was the 15th Anniversary of the North American release of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Another classic.
Happy Belated 15th Anniversary to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which came out on October 26, 2004. One of the greatest games ever made and a great soundtrack. I appreciate being introduced to songs like Toto's Hold The Line, America's Horse With No Name, and Eddie Money's Two Tickets To Paradise. Also great to hear classics like GNR's Welcome to the Jungle and Ozzy's Hellraiser.

A Look at the 2019 All Japan World's Strongest Tag Determination League Tournament and the Participants

A Look at the 2019 All Japan World's Strongest Tag Determination League Tournament and the Participants
November 2, 2019

 In Japanese Wrestling, there are many traditions and one of them is big tag team tournaments held in the fall and end of the year. Among those is All Japan's World's Strongest Tag Determination League which has been a fall tradition since it's debut all the way back in 1977. In the decades since it's debut, the winners have been among some of the all time great teams including Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk, Giant Baba and Jumbo Tsuruta, Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu, Stan Hansen and Ted Dibiase, The Miracle Violence Connection of Steve Williams and Terry Gordy, Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi, The Holy Demon Army of Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue, and The Dudley Boyz/Team 3D to name some. With the yearly tradition coming up, I figure I take a look at every team and give the pluses and minuses they have going for them along with why I think they could win or not.
