  • I'm late. Didn't see Fallout until 2 weeks ago and it meant plowing through the 300+ posts to see what others thought. So I was avoiding spoilers for nearly 5-6 weeks, which wasn't easy, but made it worth the wait. I liked it a lot. Not quite as …

  • QoS had several things going against it: It had massive expectations after the high of CR and was bound to not hit that mark. It was one of the shortest films in the series. The villain was forgettable and the plot wasn't seen as very good.…
  • I was working as a contract journalist for the base newspaper at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base here in Ohio at the time. I saw on the Internet that morning, just a small breaking news bulletin, that a plane had hit the WTC, nothing more, thinking …

  • That's another sad touch we just don't get with modern Bond is some of those posters from that era had multiple little touches to them to admire and it was a pleasure to discover new things all the time. When I was little, DAF was the first new B…

  • I've said before and will continue to say Bond needs to stay in the fall timeframe it has succeeded in since GE. It was wise for Eon to move there. Summer is such a battleground with the emphasis on what's new this weekend. Bond has a pretty wide…

  • I also recall how disappointing and useless the bonus feature disc were on the 50th anniversary set were. It epitomized the laziness as far as unique features goes. At the time they were touting the Being Bond segment as having fresh interviews w…
  • Yeah, great memories. It's sad to think many of the young people will never have that kind of experience, maybe even some members here. We still have a place called Family Video that's a national rental store and I've been there a couple times th…

  • I wanted to take the plunge into DVDs because of the special features. I remember seeing the list of the features on one of the Bond websites and in those pre-YouTube days it was unbelievable for a fan. Then when you saw the upgrade in picture and s…
  • Am I alone in not being particularly impressed with either of those girls? Those boho chic photos especially look offputting. And can they actually act, because enough people here complained about Lea Seydoux's performance and she is an established …

  • Both of Wood's books are excellent, very underrated and will come as a pleasant surprise for anyone just associated with the film versions expecting the hijinks. Jaws being fleshed out, for example, is a nice touch. GF isn't the best Bond book, b…
