  • I popped CR into the Blu-ray player last night and now my controversial opinion is the CR Parkour chase is the best action sequence of the series. It's just adrenalizing and shows the new Bond as tough, persistent and a determined badass. It also sh…

  • No, no, no! Nothing else until all the Barry scores get their proper due. Then you can have all the KamenSerraArnold and whoever else you want.

  • Why do I feel like one day in the not so distant future I'll be the old guy pining for the days when my heroes were the ones I started out with and not altered to fit what somebody thinks is a fair idea at a given time and have no semblance of who t…
  • The OP, M16_Cart (for some reason there was no quote function) said "The prudishness of the Dalton era was probably an overcorrection, but I think the Brosnan films handled this well by showing how times are changing while still letting Bond be Bond…
  • I love making finds like that. I used to find Bond books all the time in such shops but don't a lot anymore, although I did pick up an FYEO from when the movie was released that had a more modern-looking Bond on the cover.
  • One thing I don't think anybody who complains about the return of Blofeld and DAF not being a direct sequel to OHMSS ever brings up: Had Eon gone ahead with its original plan to use Goldfinger's twin brother as the villain with a completely diffe…
  • Ironically, the first time I saw SF in the cinema I had a case with teenagers and cell phones. My wife and I normally get to the auditorium early and sit in the back row near the aisle so we don't have people up and down and in the way. The hall …

  • I don't see how TB's main plot is ridiculous. One of the most world-wide fears for decades has been a terrorist group hijacking bombs, which is also realistic and frightening in a film. Now if you want to throw in a cloned Derval, the coincidence…

  • Not forgetting Thumper in DAF, who could be considered the first black villainess well more than a decade before May Day. Blofeld also had a black guard on the rig on DAF; although it's not a significant part, I can't recall any of his forces having…
  • I don't know my enthusiasm for Craig is waning so much as the subject matter and direction of the films he's being given. I really liked QoS more than most and a lot of it was in watching Craig as Bond. SF seemed like its credits should've read "…
  • I'll take OP over FYEO any day.

  • Since I liked QoS more than the last two, sure, I'd go for more of what was going on there, especially if they could complete what they started and not be affected by a writers' strike. I also thought they skipped Greene in SP the first time I sa…
  • Then: Great direction, cinematography, villain. But something was missing that kept it from being a complete experience. Now: Pretty much the same. Vastly overrated.
  • I appreciate this link because I didn't know this resource was available. I can now view any issue of Life from my laptop instead of having to go to a library and haul out a dusty old bound volume. Although I have these issues, Bond fans can also…

  • On the subject of the chute scene to Tiger's office, does anybody else think the back projection matched with Connery's surprised face as he's sliding down is goofy? It's quick, but amusing in a bad way.
  • I thought I was alone in not being impressed with the GE tank chase. It always felt just like putting Bond into a vehicle he's never been in just to smash things up in it. Destruction for destruction's sake, basically. It feels more like The Blues B…
