I've always found it somewhat ironic that with a supposedly older Bond in FYEO also turns out to be possibly the most physically taxing mission. The guy goes from hanging out helicopters to being turned over in cars to being chased down ski slopes a…

CR's ending, no question. SF's does nothing for me. As for the so-called tonal shifts, isn't going from one feeling to another part of good cinema? Beats the predictability of Bond defeating bad guy and clinch with the girl at the end of so many …

CR is possibly the most satisfied and enthusiastic I'd ever felt following its conclusion on first viewing. Still an amazing piece of work. It's like a lot of my desires to get past the strict adherence to the formula was heard and we had something …

What would I do differently? Keep Terence Young as director for starters. That's one of my great what ifs of the series. The series has never been a strong acting showcase, but GF seems particularly weak, especially the gangsters with their "What…

Supposedly the car had a lot of problems such as leaving a trail of oil all over the studio or wherever they were shooting and Vaughn and McCallum hated it because it was awkward to get in and out of. That's why I've heard it wasn't used that much. …

I may have been one of the handful of fans who wasn't bowled over by GE in 1995. Part of it may have been my support of Dalton, who I am still a big fan of and all over the overblown Brosnan praise, all the best Bond since Connery talk. I don't disa…

I've had it. Sometimes you just have to be in the right frame of mind to write, especially when you do it for a living. Sometimes it's just hard to get motivated. The good thing is it never seems to be long-term. I find sometimes it's a matter of…

Bond has had Americans writing the films since the beginning of the series. So I'm not sure why having an American director would make a difference in identity. Is he a good director and will he bring something to the series it needs? Those are my r…

I wrote a column for the newspaper I work for about the 40th anniversary, about how it took a month after the premiere date to make it here as release patterns were different 40 years ago and what an experience it was to see Star Wars, as I'll alway…

I was disappointed in the lack of coverage on one of the big cable channels in the U.S. The E (Entertainment) Network had a 2-hour daily news show and it focused on understandable stories such as the Manchester tragedy and the two finales of competi…

As part of my dealing with Roger's passing I wanted to watch one of his Bonds and chose my personal favorite, OP. It reaffirmed why it's still my favorite of his although not having seen it in its entirety in years. Roger is in top form. I still …

Hoffman was the last really good, memorable villain in the MI series. Hendrix in GP was secondary to the rest of the action. In retrospect, he reminds me of Marco Sciarra from SP. And Solomon Lane wasn't a real evil mastermind you get to hate in RN.…

This just doesn't seem real. I had thought about how it would be if a Bond actor passed but didn't think it would happen. Roger seemed timeless. As much as we like the actors, Roger was no doubt the best ambassador the series has had, so this mak…

Don't need them, especially since the series is going from James Bond to Eon's Agents of Mi6. I want to see James Bond take care of the action, not have these people join in. CR and QoS showed they were fine movies without these characters. I wou…

Not a fan. It was one of those books I never got around to. I recall Raymond Benson not being impressed in The James Bond Bedside Companion and his thoughts were pretty close to mine I discovered after finally finishing it. The double and triple …

I like the scene. Not sure it was meant to be like the TB meeting scene as that wasn't a mass affair like this was, just a few high-ranking members. The atmosphere is there and it's quite memorable and an SP highlight for me. I also enjoy the QoS…

On the subject of Brosnan, from the time he began playing Remington Steele in 1982 he was being tipped as a Moore replacement; recall my aunt being one of those who thought so. He was the clear winner of a major magazine poll at the time between OP …
-
Yeah, in NSNA compared with TB and OP there is little sense of urgency at all as far as the mission goes. It feels as if Connery liked the idea of returning to Bond, especially during the 1970s when it was still Warhead and James Bond of the Secr…

The boat and plane sequences are both unnecessary. Neither are very impressive or do anything to advance the story. It's like the creative team said they needed to include chases with each kind of vehicle in the film, squeeze them in there somewhere.

Like everything about Craig and his performances. He really did bring a fresh approach and energy to the role. Like Dalton, I can watch the movies just for Craig and not so much worry about everything going on around him. He's not exactly Moore, …

Moore's OP performance is my personal favorite of his seven films. It's the perfect balance between the light and darker aspects. When Moore was serious such as during the Orlov train confrontation and many of the later scenes in trying to prevent t…
