  • 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…
  • If you really want to use OHMSS as an example, wouldn't you say the producers gave in and weren't exactly bold when they chose to have a blaring version of the Bond theme play out the credits rather than play out with the We Have All the Time in Wor…
  • The Bond series was dominant for nearly the first 20 years of its existence and then Raiders of the Lost Ark came along and since then it has had competition for best action, often ending up behind. FYEO may have more physical action than previous B…
  • Probably middle range. I haven't done a proper ranking in some time.
  • DAF was my favorite Bond film for years, which I don't mind saying. It was memorable for being the first new Bond film I ever saw in the cinema at the ripe old age of 5. I'd been taken regularly to the rereleases before that, but I remember how memo…
  • I may not be a big fan of Pierce's Bond or his films, but I have a lot of admiration for the man, especially in the light that article paints him.
  • There seems to be a lot of myths and misinformation about when exactly Eon considered Dalton. I've always been skeptical about the OHMSS era as stated above. It's been mentioned that if you were breathing and a British male you could be considered f…
  • Didn't they learn from that horrid Melissa McCarthy Spy movie? Cool tagline, though.
  • But CR signaled a reboot, so why is it hard to accept a Bond who is in that type of shape? I don't think he looks like a bodybuilder or Stallone or Schwarzenegger, just an agent who is in really good shape. It makes much more sense than the previ…
  • I've never seen some of those French FRWL posters (strange it was released so late there) and the LTK lobby cards from Italy. It's cool that this thread does a more thorough job with the range of such advertising material than the at least 3 books o…

  • Yes. I've always thought the same thing. More so than when, say, Dalton or Craig try to be lighter and more humorous it's Moore effective when Rog is in serious mode. Back to AVTAK, when the UE DVDs came out, I once forwarded to just the scenes W…
