  • @Risico_007 Yes the current lineup isnt bad. I did like the Heaven And Earth album, although Squire was still with the band then, but Yes veteran Sherwood I think was a natural replacement. I saw him play with group in an earlier go round He fit …

  • The final tally in the Danforth shooting spree is two dead, 10 yr old girl and 18 yr old female teen, plus 13 others shot and injured assuming they all survive. There are media reports today that the shooter was radicalized, was known to police and…

  • Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp ends with "Ant-Man and the Wasp will return?" The question mark fits with how the movie actually ends. Hint, think Infinity Wars ending.
  • Its interesting that they could get View To A Kill figured out in advance but not TLD.

  • Sarah Paulson. No thanks. This one Yes!!! Craig can offer her an ice cream, if he's feeling too old doggish. TripAces wrote: » I think Ana de Armas is a very real possibility to be cast as the main Bond girl for 25. She is at the right point …

  • What a great 4th of July! I celebrated with American friends and later watched not one, but three 4th of July baseball games. Watched the entire Jays Mets game. Jays players sported American flags as well as Mets players. Then I caught the end of t…

  • Considering Desmond Llewellyn had a 17 film run with several directors and different Bonds, I think Whishaw can evolve his character similarly. Probably not for 17 films, but he's got the character nicely re- established after two films Until the…

  • To each his own , but I will be doing my best to know everything before the film is released, which is what I've done for the last three films. I find it makes for a very satisfying first viewing to finally see everything finally come together on s…

  • Been ripping through a couple of real page turners. Knocked down the new OO7, Horowitz's Forever And A Day in fast order ( discussed elsewhere) and now ploughing thru Stephen King's latest, The Outsider. This new King opus, 580 pages, is unputdown…
  • Book finished ! Great read! I do have plenty of observations though. I say observations, rather than quibbles because the book as a whole hangs together well It's a well recommended Bond read. That said I wonder about some of the authors choices…
  • My condensed little review is basically this. Vikander was well cast. Fit, young strong. Way more convincing than Jolie's casting. But Jolie's movies were more exciting. More escapist. I have no interest in seeing this new film again, however I …

  • I'm 100 pages in. It's a really good read. Loved the casino stuff and interlude w femme fatale. I presume The Russian Roulette chapter is what borrows from the new previously unseen Fleming material. Horowitz deftly weaves this stuff into the story…

  • It's worth exactly 18.99 English pound symbol. Says so right on it. I love that's it got official English pricing on it. If a Canadian printing ever emerges, phttt. No thanks. Authentic English first editions only, thank you.
  • Ah yes, the Goldsboro editions. Meantime, I consider the Blackwell's replica vintage bookmark to be priceless! :)

  • Yes, having the MI films and even the Bourne films is a nice genre sidebar to Bond. Kind of like Man From Uncle and The Avengers in the '60s, although not quite. Those two series were very iconic in their own right. Uncle even had 8 cinema releas…
