Great discussion as always. Now that we've tackled the official films, time to move to the un-official films. This one might be like shooting fish in a barrel, but lets see what you think. Charles Feldman ended up with the rights for CR and sh…

Okay time to ponder another scenario, and this one might be interesting. Would you rather have one less Moore film adventure OR one more Brosnan? Roger did an admirable job making Bond relevant again. Most don't rank AVTAK too highly, would yo…

Time to award the Bondie and Klebbie. The Bondie for best PTS of a Connery film is Goldfinger Auric would be pleased to score a golden statue. (if any creative souls want to provide us with a mock up of what a Bondie might look like!) The Kleb…

Time for us to reveal our Bondie and Klebbie! The Bondie for best song is On Her Majesty's Secret Service from the film of the same name. The Klebbie for worst song is Never Say Never Again from the film of the same name. Good stuff, the vo…

The 1967 soundtrack isn't that bad if you can appreciate the era and the groove of Mr. Burt Bacharach. The one with the lyrics is a bit over the top!

Lets see about this one. We have been blessed with different actors with different takes on the character. For two actors they had 6 and seven films and a solid run. But for two actors they only did one or two films. I'm curious what would you ra…

Well it seems the academy has come to its wise decision. Lets give out the Klebbie first, the worst theme song to a Roger Moore Bond film is...The Man With the Golden Gun accepting the award to Sir With Love is Lulu! On to the Bondie side, the…

Time to flap to the stage and announce our winner and loser. The Bondie for best song in a Pierce Brosnan film is Goldeneye from Goldeneye. Accepting the award is Edge and Bono! The Klebbie for worst song in a Pierce Brosnan film is Die Anothe…

Great thoughts about a movie that has some great parts, but has some issues. Time for the big one! The final film in the series goes under the missed opportunities microscope. Premiering in 2021...wow it's been three years already? This would …

We have heard from the academy and we have a Bondie and a Klebbie... The Bondie for best theme song of a Sean Connery film is You Only Live Twice from You Only Live Twice accepting the Bondie is Nancy Sinatra! The Klebbie for worst theme song …

Thanks for the votes for the tiebreaker! Lets see who takes home the Klebbie for worst theme song of the Craig films. The Klebbie goes to The Writing's On the Wall from Spectre it pulled away in the tie break with 8 votes. Surprisingly No Time…

No pilots here wish to weigh in? Okay we shall move on. Lets see if how we feel about a fun would you rather concerning some dinner plans. On some occasions are man has had to break bread in some rather nice spots. Lets see where you would rat…

Time for me to flap my wings and come to the stage. The Bondie for best theme song of the Daniel Craig era is...You Know My Name from Casino Royale accepting the award is David Arnold. The academy is having trouble coming up with a Klebbie winner…

We can thank Star Trek Into Darkness for EON doing the code name thing with Blofeld. the team at Paramount that did Star Trek Into Darkness said Cumberbatch wouldn't be playing Khan and gave some other name for the character. Made no sense for that …

@mtm any hints to help us solve this one.

Time for me to hit the stage and declare the winner of the Klebbie. The worst performance by a female actor in a Roger Moore film is Barbara Bach as Anya Amasova in TSWLM. She received 6 votes. Also gaining votes were Lois Chiles As Dr. Goodhe…

That Radiohead song was stunning and head and shoulders above Writings On the Wall. I agree with that @Mathis1 I agree that the climax of the film should have been at the base, having the action return to England was clunky and not well thought o…

Time for us to move on to our next film adventure. After a 3 year hiatus Bond returned and this time it was to face an old enemy! The film was called Spectre and would feature Hans Oberhauser as the main villain. Turns out Bond and Oberhauser kno…

Great question @CrabKey I would hope that we leave out the girlfriend stuff in this next film. I think the territory has been mined enough at this point. I would love to see them do something like Tiffany Case from the book series. Have her with Bon…

My prediction is that the films that are trashed today will likely become a treasure tomorrow. We put so much emphasis on Box Office and have these numbers that must be hit. Start with a story and go from there. Of course the film must be enterta…

You can see in the Pierce films that the producers were trying to play with the formula. We have a former flame return in TND. Too bad it wasn't someone that the audience had met before but no matter it was unexplored territory. I love the slap P…

Well I am planning the parade! The Leafs hang on to beat those pesky Panthers and send a message this year will be different. I say this every year but this year I mean it. LOL! I tell you I have seen many hockey players and have seen some greats…

Sorry @JonasT I am of no use to you being on the North American side of things. Welcome to the community! The Living Daylights has a convoluted plot. @Reflsin2bourbons No country would want it's high ranking military leaders involved in side busi…

Lets move on to a couple of airborne gadgets of the series. Would you rather pilot Little Nellie OR the Acrostar? Little Nellie with the agility to out-maneuver enemies, an armory to keep her honour and keep bullies at bay. Plus it packs into …
