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.

Dalton is the closest to the image of Bond as I've imagined him in the books. He just looked right in the part. For years I had the teaser poster of him in TLD saying "The most dangers Bond...ever" on my bedroom wall when I lived in my parents' hous…

Curious they'd keep the word license/licence in the title when a year earlier there was a hit teen film in the U.S. called License to Drive with the two Coreys. Even if you don't remember the film you may have heard the hit song from it, Billy Oc…

A few things to add: -For those who came to be fans from the GE video game I say great, glad it got you on board. While not a gamer myself, if inspired others into discovering the legacy of the series that's a great thing. Sometimes I wish I coul…

I didn't mind some of the personal things in Bond films until they became a regular, overwhelming part of the series. Moore's little asides when losing a colleague like Vijay or anger at Orlov or Zorin said volumes, probably because they were apart …

Anybody else think the whole reference to the precredit sequence taking place in 1986 was unnecessary? We're not trying too hard to sweep the Dalton era under the carpet here. They could've presented it in a different way. Brosnan wasn't Bond in …

As a longtime fan who was apparently one of the few not blown away by GE after the long 6-year gap, I have numerous things I'd change right from the very beginning. -Serra's gunbarrel theme is lacking and I don't like the stiffness of Brosnan, wh…

Thanks, Alexander Waverly. For Bond it was Honey, I Shrunk the Box Office Grosses.

[quote="bondsum;883851" I might be wrong about this but I think the big movie to compare to LTK would be Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which was released just shy of 2 weeks prior to the release date of the Bond movie in the US. My guess is th…
