I always wondered how serious any of these guys were considered after Lazenby announced his departure. I know they were leaning toward an American leading man, but given they kept going back to Dalton, why not one of these?

The first Bond film I saw in the cinema when it was new was DAF when I was preschool age and after Bond kills Peter Franks and switches wallets and Tiffany says "You just killed James Bond" I was mad at Connery thinking he killed James Bond in disgu…

YOLT did have a lot of great eye candy that attracts you when you're a kid. I remember my brother and I had some kind of Spider-Man web things shaped like the ninja stars we pretended they were after watching YOLT and fashioning other gadgets out of…

I've liked Barry's TMWTGG score for years and never understood the indifference or dislike of it. No, it doesn't rank up with most of his Bond scores, but I definitely prefer it to AVTAK's, which aside from the title song I find vastly overrated in …

While I'm intrigued by an OHMSS with Connery, it will no way ever lessen my view of OHMSS as a special and important film in the franchise. Cool Rigg photo, never seen that one. One of the things she does in that film is not really remind me of Emma…

Brian Dennehy was one of those character actors who was always a welcome addition to anything he was in. Sad loss. I too liked him in Foul Play, which is I think the first thing I saw him in and especially the two F/X films with Bryan Brown along…

Aki started out fine. She was very independent and capable of taking on Bond on her own and saving him several times, a forerunner to all those Bond equal women we'd get a decade later. Agree with echo on Kissy, she's basically Aki reincarnated. …

Let the DB5 go out in a blaze of glory in NTTD and then let's move on. Bring in a model or Corgi toy and leave it on Q or Bond's desk or in his apartment and leave it at that. I kind of liked having a new car each film and discovering what's goin…

I'll go with that. I just don't think we're in an era where the token appearances are as appreciated as they once were and I don't really want a radical redefinition for the modern day, but the right circumstances.

I often have a hard time deciding between LALD and TMWTGG as to which I prefer; currently, it's TMWTGG for reasons I put previously. LALD seems like one long chase movie in cars, planes, buses, boats. But it has the atmosphere with the voodoo the…

Something I've long been curious about if some of our experts can answer: Why was Maibaum absent from the screenplays for YOLT, LALD and MR?

I've always had a soft spot for TMWTGG. It's unique for me for an unusual reason: It's the only Bond film I've never seen on a big screen. First time I saw it was on its ABC TV premiere in 1977. It's one of those Bonds we were told was bad by var…

The first one is tough as I like both characters a lot. Baron Samedi is unlike any other character in a Bond movie and Dario gets my vote as the most underrated henchman. He doesn't look like much but looks are deceptive. He's creepy and deadly. I l…
