  • I may be one of the few who really like Conti's music. There is nothing like a John Barry score, but Conti's seemed fresh at the time and I still enjoy listening to it. It's funny people complain often about Conti's score being too disco, when it…

  • I'd also eliminate the Ferrara character, who is an unintentional version of Nigel Small-Fawcett before there was such a character. No point in his being a contact for Bond. He's introduces 007 to Kristatos and tell him what a reliable, wonderful…

  • FYEO is in many ways an overreaction to the excess and effects of MR. Too much of a greatest hits package as far as the action goes and no improvements on any of those. Many of the plot elements are also derivatives of previous films, especially FRW…
  • Vegas is killing it! 4-0 in the first period. Don't think I'm going to jump on the bandwagon just yet but they are fun to watch.

  • I've also wondered this. I was a big fan of the site and tried to find it just last week. Thanks for the link. There was also a really nice OHMSS site along similar lines I think disappeared.

  • It's been a pretty miserable ending for a lot of us it sounds like as far as first-round disappointments go. These will still be fun to watch, just some edge will be gone. FoxRox wrote: » I hate Boston sports teams so much. Guess I’ll spe…
  • Jackets looked better but again didn't have it when it counted. Not sure things will get any better on Monday.
  • I've seen things as well such as fans calling the title "The Man with a Golden Gun" and Pierce Bronson and such on fan boards and face-palmed, but don't feel like it's worth calling out, though.

  • Sure, it was fun. I always have a good time at Jackets games. But the atmosphere didn't seem quite as electric as last year against the Pens. The poor start to this game made it hard to get into it. I told my wife at least I'm glad we didn't h…

  • Just got back from Columbus. That was ugly. The Jackets looked completely off their game and the Caps' defense was excellent.
  • I'd lose the scene of Jaws tearing apart the phone repair van at the ruins. It's one of my least favorite scenes in the series with Moore popping off inane one-liners that aren't even funny, it diminishes the intimidation of Jaws and is capped off b…
  • No shots on goal during the power play. That hurts.
  • TIED! True, the penalties are killing them. But they've got the momentum right now.
  • It was disallowed. Good call by Coach Torts.
  • This is looking ugly for the Jackets in the second. Watching goalie Bob flailing on the ice is tough to take.
  • Update: I will be at game 4. Can't wait.
  • Yeah they did get called for something like that. They killed two of three in the final 5 minutes or so, especially one that ended the game. Some were questionable, but it all worked out in the end. The Caps also doubled CBJ's shots on goal. Bobr…
  • Jackets fan here, enjoying every moment of the last few days. If only they can cut down on the penalties that get into those situations where they need to make it more exciting than it has to be.
  • I've long thought McGoohan's Number 6 and John Drake were the best of the TV secret agents. Hard to believe he was in his late 30s in most of these photos; he looks a little older. I've recently started rewatching The Prisoner tying into its 50th…
  • Out of curiosity I decided to check out the Wizard Con closest to me and got shocked to find out admission ranged $40-$50 for a single day's admission, plus a $3 surcharge on top of that. The guests include people from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, L…
  • The truth about Connery, Broccoli and Saltzman is probably somewhere in the middle with all of them to blame for whatever bad blood happened. The magic was on the screen despite what was going on behind the scenes. No question they should've made…
