OP is also my favorite Moore Bond. As mtm points out above, it has the best blend of the serious and silly, mixing MR and FYEO and finding the right combination. It's been in that consistent position in my rankings since June 10, 1983 and continues …

Sharkey was a nice addition to LTK as he lent some humor, not in a campy or distracting way, to a largely humorous film, while at the same time making you feel maybe a little more sadness upon his death than a lot of the series' other obligatory sac…

A controversial comment regarding CR 67: I enjoy the joyful mess it is, especially that fun soundtrack and that colorful cast, to certain official Bond films. Not saying I'd rank it above any of those official films, just the viewing experience is m…

The Oscars used to be an event, but that was just a waste of time. I used to love to make predictions and look forward to it. This year, I was barely aware it was Oscar night. One writer compared it to an insurance awards event rather than Hollywood…

I still recall the preview ad for FYEO made it intact in my hometown newspaper the Sunday before the film was released. It's in my Bond scrapbook. I'd have to look to see if they modified it as the film played for a good 3-4 weeks at the time. I did…

I thought of another angle the new story could take if set in the early '60s and still involve Nazis: If Indy somehow got caught up in the hunt for rogue Nazis who escaped when the war was lost. Given many went to South America, it could also involv…

I'll say it again: There's a great opportunity for a definitive history of the MI film series in book form, from the attempted revivals for many years through to the Cruise series and each of its successive entries, with information on the various d…

I can understand Bond not smoking as a sign of the times. It hasn't really bothered me that was eliminated, I just don't like to see the character as being a victim of PC and cancel culture. It's a small concession, but when you start to take away t…

It won't set me off of seeing it by any means, no matter when they set it. It's Indy. I've always been a bigger fan of this series than I am of Star Wars.

A virus is an old plot anyway. OHMSS used it. MR had a form of it. MI2 used it and countless others have.

Well put, as always, Revelator. Any article that uses AVTAK and pinnacle in the same sentence is bound to not be taken seriously. I'm all for people defending things they believe in, especially bad moves but this goes pretty indefensible. Calling…

Yeah, Top Gun will be an interesting case. Part of the appeal of the original was the aerial action. Even today it's still pretty amazing. With technology having changed it will likely enhance such scenes, but with CGI so prevalent in everything, wi…

With all the focus on gun violence, I can see future Bond advertising and promotional material playing down the gun motif on the 007 logo, no more posing with a Walther on posters or promo shots and wouldn't be surprised if the gunbarrel was elimina…
