Five years since this thread started we could easily change the title to 4K. I was fine with upgrading to blu, even if it and DVD were pretty close together as far as their rise. 3-D was the other big fad in between and didn't seem to last. I'm n…

Almost all of Chiles' line readings and acting are bad, but it doesn't detract much from the bonkers atmosphere of MR. My personal favorite is her reaction when Bond sidles up to her in Venice and says "14th Century" and she acts totally shocked. Bu…

Hugh Grant is fine for what he does, but I don't see him anywhere near being Templer. He doesn't have any of the tough side and action hero mode nor the investigative side of the character. He's better at being a smarmy jerk than somebody with Templ…

I just got the Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation Soundtrack and composer Joe Kraemer isn't shy about using the iconic MI theme during big moments and it made me think about modern Bond scores and their lack of identity these days. Not that some of…

Nice to know we can enjoy MR for what it is. There was another thread where I recalled it was fashionable post MR to bash it as crap and thankfully we're past that.

Some things I noticed from my 30th anniversary viewing of The Living Daylights, which I first saw on Aug. 1, 1987. -As the 00s made their skydive for Gibraltar as M tries to grab his documents from the wind I never saw that he is tethered in. It …

I don't mind the Bond theme at the end either. It doesn't lessen the impact of that death. That's what I took away the first time I saw it as just a small kid; I didn't recall the Bond theme at all, just the jarring feeling of all that action' and t…

I hear you, Timmer. I've had the UNCLE set since it came out in a pricey box a decade ago and it's gotten good use. Also made Batman '66 my must-have gift for Xmas 2014. I don't think all-region blu players are as expensive as they used to be. I…

Difference for me and many others is Craig has already nailed it. If he doesn't do another one it won't feel like unfinished business.

One of the most repeated claims on Bond discussion boards the past 12 years is Brosnan "deserved" a fifth film and he would have nailed it had he been given the right material. Can anybody give me any real evidence as to why this would have been?…

I'll cling to the saying getting there is half the fun and modify it to it's most of the fun. The big shootouts/confrontations have always been less fun for me in Bond films. Especially when you kind of know how it's gonna end anyways with the big b…

Exactly. I guess they want to squeeze a few more bucks out of merchandising with no films in the pipeline. Interesting that wasn't happening post LTK, pre GE when there was nothing to look for except updated VHS releases and fan club mags that I ca…

With these out there, can we also expect a Happy Meal tie-in with Bond 25? I thought Eon or whoever approved the licensing rights didn't go for things like this and tried to hold out for a different class of products. Or at least it used to be th…

Given how limited the budget was on DN, I'm amazed Broccoli and Saltzman were able to shoot it in color at all in the beginning. DN and FRWL are naturals. The rest not so much. Color plays such a role in the others - gold in GF, the ocean in TB a…

I confess I thought he was looking at something he'd written down or Tiger or one of his people wrote down for him to request. Wouldn't be out of the ordinary for most of us, but this is Bond, who just gets stuff like that cold and has to look convi…

Right. I also could've mentioned all the precursor stuff that preceded that like the Amy Fisher case and Amy Smart and such that helped give rise to that sort of thing that people really got into these tabloid-like cases that were capturing people's…

When I was a kid, Simpson was one of the top (American) football stars of his day, and a celebrity off the field. He didn't just fade away once his playing days ended and became an actor and never really left the spotlight. It was a shock when th…

My least favorite is in keeping with my least favorite film in the series, TWINE. Completely uninspiring with predictable lyrics. I remember hearing it the first time and knowing after "We know how to kiss" would be followed by "we know how to kill.…

It feels like they've almost begun treating the gunbarrel as secondary and passé, resulting in the lackluster feel we've gotten in the Craig films. Sad, considering the gunbarrel ranks with the Star Wars opening crawl and theme and the Rocky cham…
