I think it had a lot to do with a new breed of action hero rising at the time - Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Gibson, Willis, Ford, etc. Where Bond used to rule that realm, now there was real competition. Also in getting to the Dalton era, people ten…

Fred Ward was one of those actors whose performances you could enjoy no matter the project. While I can't stand Sweet Home Alabama, my wife plays it all the time and his brief appearances make it a bit more tolerable. I loved Remo Williams and hope …

It should be in good hands with James Chapman, but I'm curious as to how much more he's been able to uncover that hasn't already been told. The story of Fleming and the process of getting the films from page to screen has been pretty thoroughly docu…

Upon seeing TOD on opening day in '84, I thought it was better than Raiders. Funny how a film is a success then its reputation dragged down and then rises again. The thing that pulls it down for me is Kate Capshaw's Willie. It's obvious they didn't …

Interesting thoughts all around and it got me to thinking about some of these points and the perceptions and retro views and all that. I've read posts from fans claiming they didn't like Craig because Bond should look as Fleming described. But th…

How about no Tanner. Why not Bond flirts with Moneypenny, gets his assignment from M and picks up gadgets from Q, then it's off on his assignment? A sporadic appearance from them if necessary again later on is fine, but just let the focus go back to…

I'm curious as to what Hunt's thoughts were on Dalton's portrayal and his films as this interview came out while TLD was in production.

The Planet of the Apes series were my favorites as a kids growing up in the 1970s. My brother has a combo poster of the first two films in his home cinema room.
