  • I will echo what others have said in this is a thoughtful post worthy of discussion. I like the Craig Bond and most of the direction of the series in his era although I find SF wildly overrated and SP less and less interesting each time I watch, …
  • The way I always understood it was that they were trying to tell people it's still part of the same universe, same character, just a different guy playing the role. Since OHMSS calls back to YOLT, it kind of had to make references to Blofeld and SPE…

  • If I remember correctly, Last Crusade was the movie that kicked off the blockbuster summer movie season in '89, a big season for films that year. Memorial Day weekend was the official start back then instead of April, where it's been moved up to now…

  • I can't hate on the Boston/NE teams and fans for their successes. I root for Ohio teams and the Blue Jackets have given me at least some excitement. Personally, I'm more tired of the GS Warriors in the NBA finals all the time. They remind me of t…
  • In response to the original question, I've never watched a John Wick film, so there's no question I'd rather watch MI, especially considering I look forward to MI films as much as if not more than Bond these days, although I didn't rate Fallout that…
  • I don't see that TLD loses that much momentum. I feel that way with about pretty much the majority of Bond films where the ending just doesn't match up to what's gone before it. TLD feels refreshing that it's not the fate of the world on the line, t…
  • Glen was hired because of his success with the popular pre-credits and second unit action sequences the previous two films. With the emphasis on gadgets downplayed, Eon chose to focus more on the stunts and Glen fit that bill perfectly for them in 1…

  • Great conversations going on here about Dalton and Brosnan perspectives, many of which I share as well, if I may add some thoughts. I live in the U.S. and ever since Brosnan made his debut in Remington Steele in '82, he was practically anointed t…

  • How about Tom Selleck?
  • How about something with "die" in the title?

  • Tough night for CBJ. They looked rusty from a week off the first 2 periods, but with 2 goals in 13 seconds in the third had things looking like the magic we experienced against Tampa. Sadly, Boston scored clutch goals late in the third and in OT.…

  • Okay, here's my controversial opinion regarding the recent Severine love fest, somewhat inspired by a similar conversation on the QoS appreciation thread about the Camille character. Is Severine that interesting, or as a poster above said made "a…

  • CBJ are my team. You don't know how great it feels to get not just this first-ever playoff series win, but against a team like Tampa Bay. Especially after last year's implosion against the Caps. It ain't easy being an Ohio sports fan sometimes wi…
  • For most surprising such look, I'll take Sir Roger's at Scaramanga during the dinner sequence when Scaramanga is baiting him about killing. His serious side was always interesting because we saw the ironic and humorous side so much more.
  • Sorry, that approach only lessens such impact for me. I much prefer Connery Bond tossing out a dark comment or act like throwing flowers on a dead, defeated enemy rather than cheap gags.
  • [quote="thedove;978285" The fire truck chase is well done. Back screen projection aside I think it's rather imaginative.[/quote] Sorry, this scene is one of the all-time lows. The focus is comedy, not thrills. I can't decide which is worse, kickin…

  • I've got a thought about "California Girls" being included. In the winter of '85, David Lee Roth had a big hit with his remake of the song and given Eon was wanting to capture more of the youth market at the time with the inclusion of Duran Duran ma…
