  • What's especially sad is we knew this day would occur one day, but it doesn't make it any easier. Found out from a work colleague as I was covering a story this morning and figure I'll be here a lot of the day to share with other fans. But wha…

  • I'll be curious to read reviews from fans and Mi6 members on that Lost Adventures book. I really wonder if this author has any more insight into some of these subjects than we've already read in other reference books or on the boards here considerin…
  • I think the CR portrayal of Bond early in his 00 career worked out better than the Maibaum/Wilson proposal for the even younger Bond Begins story proposed for TLD. The very young, out-of-control Bond would've smacked of Tom Cruise's Maverick from To…
  • Enterprise fleet seems a little cute considering it takes the name of the most famous starship in pop culture history. Then again, Eon took the title of another blockbuster and gave it to a very popular villain and it worked fine. Something I've …

  • Largo could've always pulled a Dustin Hoffman Midnight Cowboy move when he was almost hit by a taxi while filming, prompting the ad-libbed line "Hey, I'm walkin' here!"

  • Someone asked the ultimate question: Is Fallout better than Spectre? I found both on the disappointing side based on what had gone before and the expectations they set. SP was built up to be something on the level of OHMSS, the return of the seri…
  • I'm not sure why this thread took a bash MI films turn. It seems unnecessary in trying to find some of the good in recent Bond films where they are rather weak. MI has proven a good series and only gotten better with each new entry and acts as a per…

  • Am I the only one who thinks Haley Atwell seems very similar to Rebecca Ferguson in several ways?

  • I can think of a ton of explosions in Bond films more impressive than SP's - Ramirez's drug warehouse in GF precredits (made the tape skip on my earliest VCR when I recorded it); the Disco Volante in TB (blew out windows in Nassau miles away); Adam'…
  • The premise of the TV series was you didn't get to know the characters, just how they used their skills to accomplish the mission and that was successful for 7 years. That could probably never fly today. The film series is the same way - an incre…

  • This may be controversial, but I had never watched a Jurassic Park film until earlier this year. I think it was 3, whichever one has William H. Macy and Tea Leoni trying to find their son on the island, and that was only because it followed another …
  • Sad this thread is ending, but appreciate the great fun I've had with it and appreciate goldenswissroyale's efforts each week and fellow posters' views, which many times went against what I expected. It really made think about Bond preferences and c…
