  • I think that one of the things I've always found intriguing about LALD is the fact that it's the only Bond film that involves the supernatural, between Solitaire's Tarot Card fortune telling actually seeming to work, and the suggestion at the end of…

  • Top 5 prequels: 1. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (yes, I do consider it a prequel) 3. X-Men: First Class 4. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith 5. Rise of the Planet of the Apes (if it is, in fact, a preque…

  • Bond should certainly be fluent in French and German, in keeping with Fleming, and we know from QOS that he has at least a little bit of Spanish. Given his work as a secret agent, and the current geopolitical milieu, I could see Bond also having …

  • Although it would be interesting in an ironic kind of way if D-Craig turned out to be the only Bond who never got an unambiguously happy ending. Bond 24 could end with the "just a silhouette" ending from Moonraker and Bond 25 could end with the You…

  • Question: Does Batman '89 count as a reboot? Considering that a previous Batman feature film had been released in 1966 with Adam West.

  • Allow me to stick to reboots. I'll post a separate list of prequels later, if I feel so inclined. Favorite Reboots: 1. Casino Royale 2. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (not technically a reboot, but for all intents and purposes) 3. Battlestar…

  • At some point in the 1950s, there was a plan to adapt Casino Royale with Bond as a woman. Not sure if any specific actress was ever attached to the role. And while Die Another Day was in pre-production, but before anyone learned of Jinx, there wa…

  • Wasn't there a rumor that "Mr. White" is really just a ResDogs-style alias for Blofeld? Or was that just idle fan speculation?

  • Actually, NSNA blu ray is currently out of print in the US. The few copies available through Amazon Marketplace are priced around $100.

  • I've always been a bit ambivalent toward Pierce Brosnan, myself, and I'm not convinced that "fall guy" applies. Outside the ranks of serious Bond fans, Brosnan is the fall guy for nothing. On the contrary, most of the media and the general movie…

  • Picking just one, I'll go with "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra. Though I regard the film as a mixed bag, YOLT's music may well be the best in the series.

  • I really haven't had a favorite "Next Bond" since Andy Whitfield passed away, but I could roll with Fassbender. The way I understand it, however, D-Craig is in for two more. Is that correct? If so, that means recast in 2017 at the earliest. H…

  • The first time I saw You Only Live Twice (movie of the week on ABC some time in the mid-80s), I was immensely disappointed with Blofeld. It seemed like a joke. Donald Pleasance just isn't threatening, scar or no scar. "Keel Bond, naw!" Telly S…

  • It is said that the turning point was Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, in which a woman gets gang-raped and starts to like it. That scene was so extreme that it started a backlash.
