Eagle Eye: dumbshit pie (spoilers ahead) (Blog Entry by dag)
I liked Casino Royale because they actually spent a little time developing the characters. By the end I actually cared a bit about Bond and the female lead. Some of the action scenes were a little over the top- but the best scenes had a muted intensity and suspense- like the card game in the casino.

But back to the original subject, THIS is a better SF movie than Eagle Eye and probably had a budget of $500.

^ Really worst Bond movie ever? Worse than the one where Peirce Brosnin flips his audi on its roof to ski across the ice while he's shooting? Please.

Butters, you can't even argue that it was a good action movie. The plot was holier than my undies. Absolutely no character development. You know what was a good action movie? James Bond: Casino Royale. This was a shitty video game sprung to life.

I think that might be the problem, video games are influencing movies to such an extent that they are merging. I would probably play Eagle Eye as a video game, but I wouldn't pay (again) to stand over someone's shoulder and watch them play it.

You have a point - but I would take issue that "garbage" will get you out of probie status. Most things that get published are fairly good, though maybe not your taste subjectively.

I don't think it's heavy burden to require that members are committed enough to contribute a good video to the community before gaining full membership status.

In reply to this comment by viewer_999:
Ok, that lays the concern out in the open at least. But it doesn't seem there is consideration given to time periods or participation in other ways (years of membership, hundreds of posts...).

Alas if that's how it is to stay, then that's that. One could always just get around the qualification by submitting some garbage which gets the minimum required votes. (Which again, I prefer not to do on principle.)
