Best Action Sequence of the Brosnan Era?
I think without question, the boat chase in TWINE. The tank chase in GE was pretty good, but I can't rate it as highly because I felt the boat chase had better overall momentum and sense of purpose. In addition, the score was better in that s…

Bash your favorite Bond film and/or defend your least favorite
Favorite Film - OHMSS George Lazenby, regretably, is not a great actor and simply doesn't have half the charisma of Sean Connery. The dubbing of Lazenby during the Sir Hilary Bray seqences can be a bit distracting and is not always great. The…

You can count me in as well @Benny. I haven't posted in a while so it would be a nice way to come back.

M and David Arnold
LicenceRevoked said:I think David Arnold really followed the John Barry formula to a T. I've listened to countless Bond soundtracks and even composed a few of my own, so I have paid a great deal of attention to this and the winning formula for …

Adele to perform at the Oscars
I do think she still has a fairly good chance to win, regardless of her performance that night. None of the other songs are really on people's consciousness much, and the fact that hers comes a universally well-liked film only helps her chance…

OHMSS REMAKE DIRECTED BY CHRIS NOLAN
I for one do not favor the idea of remakes. However, if they were indeed to do it, Nolan would certainly be the best choice to tackle OHMSS. In many ways I'd be genuinely curious to see what he handles it, albeit not curious enough to desire …

The ultimate Bond pick up line - which would you use?
Definitely that one! As you walk up to the bar, get served your maritini, you raise it in a toasting gesture, look at her, and then say... "I believe you've caught me with more than my hand up." Change "hands" to "…

Skyfall Named Empire Awards 'Best Film'; Mendes Wins 'Best Director'
I agree with you @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7. Especially the part about the tribute being used as the acknowledgement. That said, I do realistically expect 4 nominations - Cinematography, Song, Sound Effects Editing and Sound Mixing. Anything else w…

The Albert R. Broccoli Era
I don't think this was a weak era at all. I can see why it's not necessarily the strongest in the franchise's history because of its inconsistencies, however, a large chunk of it trumps the '71-'74 Guy Hamilton era. And it…

Daniel Craig wants Adele to sing the theme to the next Bond blockbuster
thelordflasheart said:[quote="wildboonjive"] Watch American Beauty and Revolutionary Road. You'll likely change your opinion. He has a very distinctive style indeed, albeit a subtle one. Can you elaborate, and tie these distinctiv…

They are announced at 5:30 am Los Angeles time. So adjust accordingly.

Seriously now- which is worse, TWINE or DAD
DAD without question. At least TWINE tries to be a good movie at times, even though it fails. DAD on the other hand is just way out of control.

The best moments with Brosnan
I'm not his biggest fan (he's my least favorite Bond), but I'll give him the Hamburg hotel scene waiting for Paris in TND (his best moment), as well as his exchange with Kaufman. He is best in TND as a whole in my opinion. He has a …

Daniel Craig wants Adele to sing the theme to the next Bond blockbuster
I really don't understand why there are so many detractors to Adele's SkyFall song?? To my ears, the song was absolutely perfect. In fact, it was better than I thought it would be, and I had very high expectations. I think some may be m…

Academy Awards are honoring 50th Anniversary of Bond during Oscars. They should just use this video.
Though it would indeed be nice to see a BP nomination (though I'm not necessarily counting on it) as well as nominations for Bardem and Dench, I honestly feel that Adele and Deakins actually deserve to win in their respective categories. Deaki…

I also think it might be better for the sake of freshness to bring in a new talent. However, I absolutely loved Adele's SkyFall and would have no problem with her coming back some time in the future. In fact, I welcome it.

Which Bond would you trust with your life in order to survive?
As much as I like Craig, I really don't think I could trust his Bond with my life. He would probably get me killed more likely than the rest. On a pure hunch and instinct.... I'm going to go with Connery.

Brosnan pre-title sequences
I am one of the Brosnan detractors as some may already know, but I'll say this much. I don't care for the PTS in TND, save for the "backseat driver" line. Nor do I care for the one from DAD (it's all over the place and way…

I would instinctively think they would acknowledge them as British. However, being that the producers are American, I can see it going either way.

If pressed I'd have to say in order (though not necessarily my personal order): Skyfall Casino Royale From Russia With Love On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Who said "The name is Bond, James Bond" the best (their first time)?
Connery takes it without question. 1. Connery 2. Craig 3. Moore 4. Brosnan 5. Dalton 6. Lazenby

What about a big 'THANK YOU' letter for Babs and Michael? Signed by us all?
Sorry everyone, I've been away for a while as well. If it's not too late, I would like to add: "Thank you EON for the great path you have chosen with Daniel Craig and his tenure. May it continue to thrive!"

I must admit that I didn't have too big of a problem with him during his tenure. Though I prefered Dalton, I didn't necessarily resent Brosnan and tried my best to go along with him during the ride. There were times during the late 90�…
