  • The plot structure of the Indiana Jones movies were loosely based on the Bond formula, so the leading ladies in those films can be thought of as pseudo-Bond Girls.
    in Bond Girl Type Characters in other Films Comment by 00Ed February 2013
  • I really can't think of much new to add to this list. I will say, however, as a former Commissioned Officer in the United States Marine Corps, that the firefight in Heat had some surprisingly realistic detail. The combatants make good use of Fire …
    in Top Ten film shoot outs. Can you add any? Comment by 00Ed February 2013
  • I've always been a big fan of Kananga/Big. In fact, the very first time I posted on a James Bond message board (in '97, if I recall), I used "Dr. Kananga" as my handle. They don't make Bond Villains like they used to. I also love seeing Yaphet …

  • Could they just go ahead and use Shatterhand, already? It seems like that's been the rumored title of every Bond film for the last twenty years, and it has a great ring to it. Plus, it's pure Fleming. I also like the sound of another Fleming ti…

  • Getafix wrote: Madonne in her Ray of Light phase might have been okay. Actually, I keep thinking of Madonna's turn as a 1930s nightclub singer in Dick Tracy (1990). Now there's a vocalist who could have belted out a killer Bond song.

  • Live and Let Die is by far the most Halloween of all Bond films. I always found the shot where the Baron Samedi mannequin looks up at it's own exploded head pretty surreal. I'll also add my votes for the spider in DN and Krest's balloon head in …
    in Happy Halloween! Scariest Bond moment? Comment by 00Ed February 2013
  • Though I feel that each man was the right Bond for his time, the direct comparison favors Moore. Of course, nostalgia has something to do with my opinion, since Rog was my first Bond. It goes beyond that, however. Without Roger Moore, the Bond s…

  • But which Beach Boys track should they play this time? Seriously, though, I too would like to see some winter sports action at some point in the Craig Era.

  • I'll add a few thoughts to this discussion: I have extremely mixed feelings about Lulu's 'The Man With the Golden Gun', myself. I find it a bit goofy for a Bond title song, though I guess that it actually fits with the film in that respect. I w…

  • I guess it would make sense that Brosnan's Bond racked up the highest body count, considering the turn toward Schwarzenegger-style action that the series took at the time. The Broz was certainly a crowd pleaser, though his films generally aren't re…
    in Brosnan Considered the "Deadliest" Bond Comment by 00Ed November 2012
  • Here are my thoughts on the matter: -- I tend to agree that Jinx was a disaster. The whole spinoff concept was ill-conceived to begin with, and thus, so were the repeated Brosnan-era efforts to have James Bond encounter his female counterpart. …
    in Who is you least favorite Bond Girl? Comment by 00Ed November 2012
  • Back in the '90s, I used to suggest Jurgen Pruchnow as a next-generation Blofeld, but I guess he's too old at this point. I actually like the idea of Ciaran Hinds. His portrayal of Julius Caesar in Michael Apted's TV series Rome proves his abili…
    in If Blofeld were to return to the modern Bond films...who would play him well? Comment by 00Ed November 2012
  • Once Skyfall opens in the U.S.A., I'll probably see it at least 3 times: once at the multiplex on opening weekend, once at the drive-in, and once with my girlfriend at the dollar theater (when it gets there).
    in How many times have you seen/will you see Skyfall Comment by 00Ed November 2012
  • Well, speaking as a Yank myself, I suspect that Bond fandom is just another aspect of the Anglophilia that has been a constant undercurrent in American culture. Even those of us who do not trace our ancestry to Britain still look to the Isle of the…

  • I might as well chime in on this: 1. The Empire Strikes Back (You know, for a while there, many people my age proclaimed this movie as the greatest film of all time. Ah, youth). 2. A New Hope. 3. Revenge of the Sith. 4. Attack of the C…

  • "Surrender" -k.d. lang. A nice John Barry pastiche that's actually superior to the title song from the same film. "If There Was a Man" -The Pretenders. A sweet little waltz that sends TLD out with style and romance. "Moonraker" -Shirley Bass…

  • Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a faithful Bond fan from Southern California, in my late thirties. My first Bond film was For Your Eyes Only, which I watched multiple times on cable back in '82. The first Bond film I saw on the big sc…
