While I could never avoid teasers and trailers on Bond films, I limit myself on reading too many details, which is hard sometimes on sites like this. I recall going to Ain't It Cool News back in '99 and one of the moronic posters put in all caps the…

As a standalone listening experience, Serra's GE score is far more interesting than either of Newman's efforts. Not that good, but it has interesting sounds and ideas. That's from long travels listening to these on CD. Honestly with Newman and ev…

When LTK was released it was noted how the title song had opening notes that resembled Goldfinger. The music itself is okay, but the way the lyrics compare having a licence to kill to romance is just awkward. It's also interesting how Eon went fr…

While not a conventional blockbuster, The Last Emperor was a prestige picture and won the Best Picture Oscar and several others. While it was a big picture in that sense it's pretty forgettable as far as well-known Oscar-winners go these days. I …

Yes, Connery is the clear winner BUT it has to be acknowledged a good portion of his success was post NSNA when he enjoyed a career resurgence. While he brings class and a star quality to anything he acts in, he had a really checkered career in the …

I've always liked Risico although it sounds a lot like Sicario, which I don't think did very well. I don't care for Property of a Lady, it sounds too much like a Merchant-Ivory or some highbrow film, same with The Hildebrand Rarity. But they went…

If I'm remembering it right, the ad campaign for Tightrope said something like "This time he's not Dirty Harry" and was clear to emphasize this was gripping in a different type of way and not to expect the iconic lines like "Go ahead, make my day."

Although the movie was underwhelming I had fun with all the hype of Indy's return, rediscovering my enjoyment of the character and causing me to collect or recollect Indy memorabilia. Still enjoy this series much more than Star Wars.

He didn't hold back in his opinions. Of course, he wasn't necessarily incorrect in what he said either, although they were very reflective of the pro-Connery sentiment that was all too common during Moore's era. Interesting he thought it would be th…

Honestly, I think Eon got the rights back to Blofeld and Spectre and just said they'd throw anything out there and it would work as a plot. The worst thing was the retconning of making Silva, etc. part of Spectre.

Another thing that always bugged me in LALD (should've included this in the "What would you have done differently" thread) is how thick is Kananga that he'd eliminate not just 1 but 3 Mi6 agents that would surely bring an investigation? Dr. No ma…

Long before the market was littered with books about the Bond movies, Brosnan's book was an oasis. I got the updated edition in '81 and it was great in that it went into depth describing the films in those days before VCRs became commonplace. I'm…

I scanned through this thread again and I have one question: How is LALD not mentioned more? Kananga's plot is to double the number of addicts in the country to create a drug monopoly. How is this getting a pass?

Roger Moore again shows he is the epitome of suave in those photos as only he can make a leisure suit, that punch line of '70s fashion, look good. That's the first I've ever heard of Susan Hayward being considered for a female Bond. Sorry, but th…

I joined yesterday. Excited to be involved.

Pushkin was a last-minute addition rewritten character to replace Gogol as actor Walter Gotell was ill and could only do a cameo at the end. I recall reading that they tried to get a Pushkin cameo into LTK but there was no way they could logically f…

Another thing AVTAK had going against it on opening weekend in '85 was it was up against Rambo: First Blood II. People of my peer group were much more excited about that at the time, showing Bond was old school action and Rambo new and fresh.

Dodged a bullet there. I just really don't like Cruz as an actress.

I still recall the message preceding the Bond ABC network movie broadcasts: Although edited for television, some parents may consider this James Bond film unsuitable for younger family members. Viewer discretion is advised." I think one of the fa…

They ruined May Day for me when she decided to turn good. Should've kept her villainous until the end.

Somebody should do a mash-up video with Connery's pronunciation of "Pooshy" contrasted with Jourdan's. That could be funny.
-
I agree with many of the previous comments about the silliness going and such, but one thing most fans probably don't give a thought about has bugged me for years. In the teaser after Bond has been captured and is riding in the back of the milita…

While not big on NSNA, I do like the cast and think the differences with the main characters who appear in both films I find both equally interesting. Basinger's Domino is the only one I find inferior to Auger's.
