  • 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…
  • That relationship may be the highlight of AVTAK and that's the overall problem with it is that the tone is all over the place. You have the high jinks of iceberg subs, driving half a car through Paris, homeless people dropping their alcohol bottles…

  • In answer to the OP: wasted. He's just an another anonymous Mi6 hanger-on, nothing distinguishing about him. I'm surprised so many thought Kitchen was memorable as I've always thought opposite. Robinson on the other hand is a guy I can see going …
  • To my points above, I think it's worth discussing. Especially in light of the pre-production news being sparse. People are so eager for it they'll take a scrap of what comes out of some Redditor's ramblings and run with it or speculate on the fla…

  • I'm curious as to where the home video business will be by the time B25 comes out. Stores keep shrinking their physical media sections and there seems to be less interest in creating anything special. Streaming is fine if you just want to watch the …
  • The thing I never understood about the GE comics was even if they didn't print the other two as individual issues then why not do a one-off as a graphic novel or magazine format like Marvel did in the early '80s with FYEO and OP. Marvel actually …

  • Want to go a little farther out, 1979's gang film The Warriors had a serious restroom punch-up.

  • As TWINE is my least favorite Bond film, I have numerous changes. -As others have said: leave the simplicity of the Bilbao escape as the PTS rather than dragging it out. By having the boat chase right after the credits it would’ve really broken t…

  • I saw two inadvertent and pretty obscure Bond references in movies on consecutive nights over the weekend. The first was from the 1999 thriller movie Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones. Jones is sitting in a bar with a bank of t…
  • Except for the first two in the series, the MI films have been solid, but not super box office successes. Not sure Fallout should be expected to do more or that it's being that anticipated that way with other than established fans. Hope I'm wrong, b…
