Pirates of Skyrim is great! Could not stop laughing during the Magic School Bus trailer. Forgot about that show.
I loved the Magic School Bus trailer except the “Hell” part. Could have found a better plot.
Ok, there are more than a few gaffes with the James Bond timeline. I can understand why they put Donald Pleasance’s face for Blofeld in “From Russia With Love” despite only seeing the back of his head, although it doesn’t explain why they just show the cat in his arms for “Thunderball.”
Speaking of “Thunderball,” while Blofeld was the mastermind behind the operation, the real villain that Bond went up against was Emilio Largo. Also, why is Telly Savalas’ Blofeld pictured with “Diamonds Are Forever” and Charles Gray’s Blofeld pictured with “Never Say Never Again”? Savalas was Blofeld only in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (which he’s correctly pictured with) and Charles Gray was Blofeld in “Diamonds Are Forever.” Max von Sydow played Blofeld in “Never Say Never Again.”
Perhaps the biggest gaffe of all is the name given to Sean Bean’s villain for “GoldenEye.” In what HAS to be a typo (no can seriously be this stupid), Bean’s former 006 character is Alec Trevelyn aka Janus. For “Tomorrow Never Dies,” Gen. Chang is barely mentioned in the film and his name should be stricken from the list. Elliot Carver is basically the mastermind of the whole thing with Chang more or less a pawn.
One more thing, Desmond Llewelyn was never in “Never Say Never Again.” Another obvious typographical error.
The HISHE for Casino Royale was ok, but far from being one of their best.
I am looking forward to the Magic School Bus movie more than any other this year. My kids and I both love that series. Can’t wait!
Unfortunately, that’s only a fan-made trailer. This is no “Magic School Bus” movie in the works…yet. I’m a fan of the books and the TV show as well and think it would be cool to see a movie made, whether it be animated or live-action (I think it would be better animated). Do you think they’ll get Lily Tomlin again? She voiced Ms. Frizzle in the series.
