The first contest is polar opposites for me, a tale of two Mendes. I know a lot of people love the Tennyson scene but for me it's a blatant example of what makes SF overrated. If I were in that courtroom it would move me to want to get her out now t…

I'd have drooled at the chance to see TSWLM and MR on a double feature, I'm guessing about 1980. MR kick-started my real Bond fandom in the summer of '79 and as I didn't have cable TV then I couldn't watch it or the other Bonds that were playing …

Hopefully not too far off topic, but anybody ever bought a Bond reference book in a foreign language because of the different photos they offer? I have picked up 3 or 4 along with some of the Japanese programs and a couple of German ones just becaus…

I'll go with "Do You Know How Christmas Trees are Grown?" Always liked the song and it's now on my holiday playlist. Years ago I played it for a girlfriend and she just kind of looked at me like I was out of my mind. Not inaccurate, I guess. I li…

Refreshing to hear. I think GE is a good film but it simply isn't going to rate above middle of the pack for me. I gave a few examples of why in an above post and be glad to give more if that lends insight into my thinking.

A lot of comic legends passing these days. Sad.

Given the circumstances at the time, I'd have welcomed it, just as I welcomed NSNA at the time. But it would've depended on what they came up with. Another remake of TB wouldn't have been a great prospect. How many more remakes/reimaginings do we ne…

I'm guessing slide whistle will be the preferred choice. It's never bothered me. The scene is already leaning toward comedy with Pepper along for the ride. I knew Tarzan yell would also get some play, but that's a throwaway moment anyway and not a g…

I much prefer the Bond-Sanchez relationship opposed to the Bond-Trevelyan relationship. Sanchez is more complex and interesting and feels more dangerous despite Trevelyan's service training. One of the aspects of GE I don't care for is suddenly g…

Count me in for LTK over any Brosnan era Bond. It was very different yet still felt very Bond to me back in 1989. Still count it as one of the best Bond films and that Dalton's era was unfinished business. I always cringe when I see people say Brosn…

Sadly, Schumacher will likely always be judged by his two Batman movies. A non-fanboy opinion, I personally really like Batman Forever, much more than Batman Returns, which seems very much overrated in fan communities. He did a lot of varied work…

Fan clubs did flourish back then for certain bands and performers and some shows - Man from U.N.C.L.E. for instance had a very successful one. They were very corporately controlled. Complain and it likely got you nowhere. Surprised Eon never star…

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…
