I don't dislike GE but find it really overrated, nothing that original or standout aside from bringing the series up to date for the mid 1990s and bringing a personal side to the mission (LTK wasn't a mission, so I'm not counting it here). It takes …

More interesting and thoughtful selections from goldenswissroyale this week. You'd think with a character whose gun is almost part of his body that there'd be more shootouts in the series. Peter made a good point about that above that a shootout …

One thing to not overlook for us fans who were around in the '80s was Glen being available and getting the job done allowed us 5 films every other year during that decade (6 if you count NSNA), so we were pretty satisfied at the time. Glen was in…

This is hard. If There Was a Man is a really good song, both Pretenders songs from TLD are strong, and also work in the soundtrack. But so does Surrender. If You Asked Me To became a bigger hit for other artists over the years since. The other two s…

Ford Mustang. See, DAF does stand out once in a while. But are we sure it didn't have a gadget? After all, how do you explain how it can magically go in on one side of the car and come out of the alley on the opposite? ;)

I've also heard of the alternating lead production duties but also can't point to the exact sources. Also read one of the bigger reasons for the split was Saltzman seemed to have less and less interest in Bond overall and always wanting to get ju…

Moore's serious moments really make a more successful contrast than, say, when the mostly serious Dalton tries to be humorous.

I agree. It always made me sit up and take notice when he turned serious. My favorite example is on the train with Orlov and much of that stretch of OP when he's trying to get to the U.S. air base. Another great example is "Damn it, man, it's urgent…

The second I saw the title of this one I knew who would be the winner. I guess I have to go with Tamahori of the nominees. Not a DAD hater at all despite its evident deficiencies. He suggested the codename theory, which would be my pet peeve with hi…

I'll take bike jump for question 1. TND isn't one of the best loved films overall by fans or the general audience, but it's my personal favorite of the Brosnans. I really like it for its swift pace, minimal personal distraction and great action scen…

Come on, there's a difference between personal aspects on a mission and the personal being incorporated into the plot and an overarching part of it: Bond goes rogue for the whole film of LTK; Bond's former colleague and friend is his target in GE; B…

LALD is a middling film for me, but an aspect I really like is Kananga's network of villains. Even a seemingly useless guy like Whisper has his moments. Samedi is used just enough not to overstay his welcome and Adam is kind of underrated. Cabbie gu…

By far, This time it's personal. In this thread and another, people have stressed it's supposedly in all action movies and television, if not everything. It's here to stay, okay. My question is if it's so effective then why do I still immensely enjo…

That's another SF touch with the missing disc that reminds me of the first MI film: I keep hearing Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt saying "The NOC list is in the open."

This really brings off the beauty of a Bond film in all the various elements that work together - gunbarrel, PTS, elaborate credit sequence, the film itself and the ending capped off by "James Bond will return" but can also be appreciated separately…

Given LALD was a big success it didn't really give any doubt Moore wouldn't return, and Moore even mentions in the James Bond Diary in one entry that Saltzman was talking about planning to shoot the film in '74. But to an average moviegoer it may ha…

I agree that anyone not named Connery would've gotten the same reception as Lazenby. As far as other candidates, judging just by the photos, I like Campbell, he had the look. Richardson not so much. In the full article there are photos of him that …

Never seen those or knew they existed. Thanks for sharing. I don't think the name would sell well these days, though.

There is a variation in TSWLM and it's different enough and leads to the real finale at Atlantis. It's funny, mtm. Whereas the big battle used to be the norm, now it has gone in the opposite direction of Bond and the girl against the villain and …

Given there's a distinct difference in eras from Binder/Brownjohn's works to Kleinman's from GE till now, shouldn't this be divided into 2 categories, classic and modern? It seems like there's a lot of love to go around. If forced to choose, OHMS…
