  • He'd actually make a really good henchman, if not a main villain. He's a good character actor.

  • I suspect there's something to ATJ even if he's not the actor who will get the part, or the best candidate at all. Stuff like him making silly pouting faces for the camera when he's not acting, or the pitch of his voice is utterly irrelevant (it's n…

  • I think there's a sense that by AVTAK they leaned a bit more consciously into Moore's Bond as an older, more gentle figure with women (and in terms of his Bond in general one could argue). Even in FYEO I get the sense the script suggests Melina and …

  • LALD is a Bond film I now view a lot more favourably than when I was younger (some of the early Moore films really have gone up in terms of how much I enjoy them). While TLD has a great PTS and some great Fleming material that's integrated into the …
  • There's of course FYEO's PTS. It becomes interesting when you imagine the wheelchair bound, bald headed villain in the neckbrace not as Blofeld but some sort of imposter. After all, it's more likely that the Blofeld we know in the film series died i…
  • Cool thread. I suppose it's probably because Bond isn't in it, but I always become interested in Scaramaga's life in TMWTGG's PTS. Like, how did he get to the point of being the best assassin in the world? Why does he have this weird fixation on Bon…
  • Really not my favourite Bond film, but it is one which has some interesting behind the scenes info on it. I didn't know until recently, for instance, that some of the underwater scenes with Bond and Melina were not actually shot underwater but had t…
  • Connery's debut in DN is an interesting one. I get the feeling his next two instalments subtly 'course corrected' in the same way the writers did with Moore by TSWLM. In DN he plays Bond in a very wry, and for me personally almost too ironic way. He…
  • To be fair has there ever been a case where the director didn't like or want the Bond actor? As far as I can tell while no director's first choice has gotten the part (ie. Campbell preferred Cavill over Craig, Young wanted Richard Johnson etc.) it n…
