One small fix that would raise this already near-perfect Bond film for me: Have Arnold use more of Chris Cornell's fantastic title song more the way Barry did in his films. It's perfectly placed at the beginning African Rundown before deteriorating …

So, in other words, these are overqualified actors who have still done nothing to dim the memories of character actors who made the roles their own and continue to be beloved in them by the fan community and likely casual fans except in the mind of …

Is it strange that I haven't bothered to purchase Fallout when I did the previous 3 films the week they came out? For some reason it just seems priced higher than a lot of new blu releases and maybe it just didn't resonate with me enough on my theat…

I used to look forward to the office team scenes years ago. It was fun to anticipate where Q would pop up or where M and Bond would meet. Even if it was just in the office. My enthusiasm really waned with the Brosnan era when Dench's M was writte…

Given he's in all of 2 scenes, I don't get the John Terry hate. Sure, he's rather flat in his line delivery but at least he gives the rather throw-away role some believability. I can see him as a contemporary of Dalton Bond. Compare that to guys …

I don't know that I've converted anybody into becoming a Bond fan, but I've made friends bigger Bond fans due to my enthusiasm and made others more interested in the character. Except my own daughter, who really has never liked Bond but understands …

Serra's score has gotten more respect over recent years. While the Internet was in its infancy back when GE came out, I still recall how the score was the big complaint among what was otherwise a great reception for GE. People just weren't ready for…

Not an expert on the subject, but I do think Playboy was trying to move away from the naked girl focus since the rise of the Internet made that subject so much more accessible, and as someone else mentioned publications with so much more in that are…

I also look at it like being a fan during the mid '60s with spy TV series, although I didn't live during that time frame. You could enjoy The Man from UNCLE and The Avengers on one level and Secret Agent and I Spy on another. There will always be bl…

I question if the series will ever return to just stand-alone missions. Even in the early days the stories had only vague references to the other films and then practically none, aside from recurring characters and the odd reference to Tracy. In …
