  • I've said for many years the best original song category has gotten worse and worse. I challenge most people to recall many of them (WOWT, Skyfall and Let it Go nonwithstanding). It seems like a challenge just to nominate enough to round out the cat…

  • Product placement doesn't really bother me. What's worse is when a character is clearly carrying a can of Budweiser and some production person has slapped a label over it that reads "BEER." That used to happen all the time years ago. There's also…
  • No, this comic is hardly rare. It's not as easy to find as, say, a die-cast Aston Martin or Funko Pop thing, but not a holy grail either. As a regular eBay surfer, I see at least one of these issues up for auction on the U.S. site weekly. I don't…

  • I felt a lot of that was also explored in GE and DAD with Bond being updated after the 6-year gap and being made useful again after his capture in Korea and the world moving on. M was also a catalyst in TWINE's plot as well and there seemed to be…
  • It's good to see Cruise getting some props as a dedicated man to his profession. Too many want to use his personal life to trash him and that's not completely fair when you see what a pro he is when it comes to doing projects like this. I used to…
  • Russian accents done in English I can give a pass to. The gangster accents in GF are what get me. "Hey, what are you tryin' to pull, Goldfinga?" It's more like Johnny Dangerously than James Bond. It takes me out of it, but it seems like GF gets a…
  • I just watched a sequence on Entertainment Tonight focusing on Cruise's getting his helicopter license to pilot one in the film. He also called Fallout, "The largest practical action movie ever shot." I don't doubt that just judging from the t…
  • I saw both of these on original release either back in late '92 or early '93 as I think both were holiday releases. I liked both, especially A Few Good Men. As far as the question about cultural impact, I don't think either were super huge, but b…

  • I had the same goofy grin I had during the Rogue Nation plane sequence. This is what enjoying movies is about. If you weren't thrilled by that then you may no longer have a pulse.

  • bondjames wrote: » MI: GP Loved it as always. Such a step up from the last two in my opinion. It's the combination (and incorporation) of a little style along with the normal action and heroics that elevates this film. From the fabulous opening…
  • In my mind, Renard is the main villain. It's his influence that turns Elektra to begin with and it's him and Bond to the end. She may have the means to set everything up, but it's him doing all the heavy lifting. If anything they are co-main villain…
  • Great poster except one thing.... the gun seems out of place. A gun is a synonymous with Bond. While the MI series has had plenty of gunplay, it's not an essential element and makes it look more like it's trying to be a Bond film whereas the M…

  • I always thought Bond threw that in about him and M in Tokyo as a way to get under his boss's skin knowing he'd be listening to the tape and it may have just been BS. So maybe he hadn't been there. As for the YOLT comment, Roald Dahl probably was…
  • Pretty much sums up my feelings too, Wiz. Both TPM and KOTCS had the challenge of the hype of having legendary series before them coming back after years of being dormant. It was going to be an uphill challenge from the start and ultimately doome…
  • I used to make Oscar predictions just for fun, but in recent years I just haven't cared much. Most of these Best Picture nominees anymore just don't have any staying power anymore that you would want to revisit years down the road. All I heard a …

  • Thanks for the amusement. This just proves anybody can get published online. What I find funniest is whoever wrote this piece didn't have the guts to put a by-line on it. Several of the comments say "we." Going on and on about the boomers is such…

  • I have no doubts there are several people who did react that way who read it. The net brings out people who love to make their thoughts known, especially if it has a controversial theme to it. Still, it seems as if these a lot of these people wou…
  • Does anyone else besides myself prefer the Indy series to Star Wars?

  • Using two former M:I women, Seydoux and Ferguson would be like taking women from The Avengers TV series. Oh, wait, that worked out pretty well, actually.
