60 Years Ago: Goldfinger (1964) and the Perfect Bond Movie Model
Unlike many film critics, I do not count Goldfinger (1964) as the absolute “best” James Bond film of all-time. You can check out my rankin...

The Outdwellers may just give me nightmares, with their wide eyes of nothingness. I have just watched all the episodes in sequence, and man, you've got some "Black Sun" metaphysics at play, you're giving Robert Wise a run for his money in the sheer disorientation department(the camera gliding from room to room with nerve-wracking intensity), and I particulary enjoy the Hartnell-era Who-style cliffhangers. I mean, Arlo stabbing Bill, after you softened things up with the story of the oven? Pow! And yet you allow Arlo to maintain our sympathy. I enjoyed Theresa's comeback about not chocking, kicking, or stabbing anyone, perhaps my favorite line after Travis' nasty comment about the Andes and that rugby team. Or maybe Bill's crack about "regime change". Astrid and the tape recorder gave me chills. Is that your UFO lunchbox, Mr. Muir? Very cool. And Bill's speech about the beauty of molecules was oddly touching. And as far as Travis goes, the originality on display in "Positioned" really takes the show to "Das Boot" levels of clautrophobia. But, as for the Outdwellers, in my mind(and perhaps my nightmares) the Tall Man is going to have some stiff competition. Anyway, as a hardcore
