  • 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…

  • Don't know if one already exists, but I'd really like to see a collection of the Bond comics covers from over the years and other samples of the articles. Not the DC Dr. No or Marvel adaptations, but those above. I have that book on the illustrat…

  • That is good stuff and a reason I enjoy going to sites like this. I still recall hearing "California Girls" on the AVTAK soundtrack the first time I saw it and wondered, as it was at a cinema with two screens, if there was a mistake with the soun…
  • It may have been called the US James Bond Fan Club at the time. I don't think a check would've been made out to the magazine itself. I do recall being glad finding an older copy of Bondage while surfing eBay at work a decade or so ago and getting…
  • I decided to pop in my Blu-ray of Dirty Harry last night as it's been years since I've watched it. Still as enjoyable as it's ever been. Had several observations during the viewing: -In this PC age it's interesting to revisit films made during…
  • I may be the only one who doesn't mind the title Tomorrow Never Dies. No, it doesn't make a bit of sense, but even when you consider the alternative it isn't great either. How many audience members really paid attention that Tomorrow is the name of …
  • The Rock is a classic, one of the '90s best action movies. I never tire of it. Whatever became of the Michael Bay who made that film? Connery and Cage play off one another well, two of my favorite actors together. Connery's line about losers alwa…

  • If I'd change anything it would be the excessive shootout aspect of the finale. There's always some gunplay in Bond films, but TND was more like the Joel Silver school of action films. I remember when TND was in production and hearing the threat …

  • So are we moving on to TND, then? This has been my most anticipated thread recently.
