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 …

A few thoughts on Arnold returning, Newman, etc. On other forums I've criticized Arnold's scores. I loved TND, but TWINE was a slog and DAD wasn't much better. I pointed that I listened to the entire CR soundtrack on a travel and barely regist…

My continuing thought on QoS - forget the film that came after it. This is a much more fulfilling Bond experience.

Sorry if this has been brought up before. Popped in DAF and was reminded that Connery's figure in the gunbarrel was in black and white and recalled the same figure from TB was in color. Then I decided to check out YOLT's and noticed the Connery figu…

I don't know how much to blame Dahl for YOLT's shortcomings. It sounds like the producers instructed him what they wanted and another writer took a shot at it the screenplay, some of which was apparently used and he was told to incorporate. YOLT …

I would hope a line like "That is not the soap" wouldn't be the end of the final mission of Bond's career. There is never a final mission in my, excuse the term, view.

Can't say I'm too intrigued by this. Rocky revivals work better for whatever reason. That last Rambo film was totally pointless, just nothing but gratuitous violence and no redeeming characters or features from what I recall of it. If they can se…

Back in the '80s and '90s, DN and FRWL were among my least watched films and ones I'd buy last on video. They just didn't translate as well as the more modern takes with more effects and gadgets. Since the 2000s, FRWL is in my top 5 and DN in the…

With all the recent support for MR as least favorite soundtrack, I'll throw in my controversial opinion that AVTAK is my least favorite Barry soundtrack. The movie is bad enough and Barry can't save it and even gets dragged down by it. It's okay …
