  • I am slowly getting sucked in to believing. Or is that BELEAFING. LOL! I can't figure out Boston, only 2 shots in period 1 in Game 5 and only 1 shot in period 1 of game 6. Are they gripping the sticks too tightly? How have the Leafs won 3 games w…

  • I read recently she is going to be a judge for the Cannes film festival. Not sure how people are picked for it, but I would consider that to be an honour.
  • The script writes itself. Swayman has an 0-5 record in close out games. Do you go with him in Game 6? If the Leafs win Game 6 do you go back to him in Game 7? How mentally strong is Boston, do the memories of last year come back with a "not this …

  • Very interesting thoughts here and certainly some perspectives I hadn't considered. I guess when you think of it EON stopped using the plot of the novels back in the 1970's only retaining the names and rarely using the plot of the villains. I wou…
  • You are welcome @Last_Rat_Standing Toronto pushes it to a game 6 and if they can find a way to win on home ice after 6 consecutive playoff losses a game 7 might be due for the weekend.

  • @Creasy47 there is a changing of the guard afoot. Ovi while still capable of greatness the moments of these great moments are fewer and farther between. With the mission that Crosby was on in the final 10 or so games, it would have been something…
  • Great stuff! I think you couldn't go wrong either way but I would lean more towards LALD. Since the passing of Fleming, many have written continuation novels some have been more successful than others. For the most part the filmmakers have not ad…

  • Mark my words, they take the next two and then get smoked in Game 7 that would be a Leaf thing to do. A telling stat, they are winless in their last 6 home playoff games. You aren't winning a series if you can't win at home. Commentators saying K…
  • Well that was painful to watch. I don't see the Bruins letting a team come back from three down in the last two years. Another wasted year with this core. A case study on how talent alone can't get it done, that we need to have a will and skill in o…
  • Time for the award to be handed out for our Bondie. The Bondie for under-rated performance goes to Jimmy Dean as Willard Whyte in DAF! Jimmy is currently in BAAAAHAAAA and can't accept his award. Now lets flip the script to the female side and…
  • It could have been worse, with the music for sure. We dodged not getting a dated 80ès feel and instead had a more jazzy score. I am not sure that Legrand was the right fit. We lacked the brassy big sound. It highlights again how much Barry gave the …

  • Lets move on to the gaming world of Bond. I heard in a recent YouTube video that they wished their was a Roger Moore Bond video game. Sadly this is unlikely to happen, but what if? I am taking a leap and picking two of Roger's films that I would …
  • The air was full of excitement, Sean Connery was back as Bond after leaving the role in 1971. Two Bond pictures in one year and both due out in the summer of 1983. Soon delays and may be a sense that going head to head was not a great idea pushed Se…
  • I'm surprised no one has selected Lazenby. I question the validity of his stories, but can he ever tell a good story. Also doesn't seem bitter about the role anymore. course everything discussed may have to be taken with a sizable grain of salt. :) …

  • Wow, you are close to the answer. It involves aviation but not disembarking.

  • I am shocked that Walter thought William wouldn't remember him outside of the context of Star Trek movies. I can't remember was Walter in the first Shatner appearance or the second?
  • Lets dive into the world of fantasy. We have had 6 actors play James Bond. They all had an air of charisma in their portrayal and on the chat or talk shows they have shown their charisma in real life. Lets see which one we would like to have a pint…

  • Wow that was a good one! Okay now time for me to think of one. LOL! Lets do this: * GF * DAF * CR Good luck!

  • What a save from Bob! Wow talk about putting your body out there to make the save. Can the Lightning take charge (sorry I had to) on home ice? A shame about Demko being injured, the Canucks playoff hopes might have taken a severe hit. Can they bo…
  • Flapping my wings to the main stage, this was truly a tough one and some of our academy abstained from a Klebbie vote. Truly they are all top notch PTS candidates. The winner for best PTS in a Dalton or Lazenby Bond film is...The Living Daylights…
  • I really wish Glen hadn't decided on having some slow motion running in the PTS. That scene of Leiter and the DEA agents running on the runway always makes me laugh and takes me out of the scene. I suppose it was an 80's trope to do it but boy it lo…
  • Told ya the Leafs would even the series! ;) Wow that goal from Matthews was a beauty and the set up from Domi was top notch. Now we have a series, at least until the Leafs blow it again. LOL! Can the Islanders rebound from being up 3-0 and los…
  • YOLT drinks on a subway DAD drinks a martini on the plane QOS drinks martinis on the plane YOLT is OOO has Bond drinks on a train and not a plane?

  • And with that the voting for Best PTS in a Moore film comes to an end. The winner of best PTS of a Roger Moore film is The Spy Who Loved Me. It received 6 votes. Moonraker and Octopussy both received 5 votes. Also a write in vote for TMWTGG. On t…
  • Wouldn't that be a refreshing change. In more recent films M gets a whole lot of screen time and sometimes it feels a bit much to me.
