  • New clues Named EON character. 1. I'm the bearer of bad news. 2. Am I having deja-vu? 3. I help Bond with his mission. 4. I have a secret.

  • I like that idea. A Bond film reliant on wit and knowledge of his surroundings. Not on a gadget to get him out of danger. OHMSS is possibly the best film to do this, thus far. A London based Hitchockian affair would be great.

  • In TSWLM, the British submarine Ranger is hijacked, along with the Russian Submarine Potemkin. At the start and finale of the film, the British submariners and the crew of the USS Wayne fight alongside one another against Stromberg's crew. But what …

  • I can't believe we're still discussing this. :-O Going forward, can the Bond films work on a cheaper budget, with less globetrotting? A more single location story perhaps. I'm not suggesting this to be the way the series should go, but a possib…

  • I think too much is made about the C joke in SP. It didn't work as some would've liked, though from the get go, Max Denbigh is clearly made out to be a villain. Only an idiot would fail to see this. It's not like he's a major recurring character in…

  • It's a minor blip in a film with many blips. Why don't the Russian submarine crew get released in TSWLM? We only see the British and US submariners fighting in the end batle. What happened to the Ruskis?

  • Considering the unlikely event that the producers find another actor who can take the series in a direction similar to what Daniel Craig did, is it fair to say that they will have too look at alternate direction for the series? When Connery departe…

  • There's a Billy Connoly joke, if you were in a contest to find the biggest C-word in the world, you'd come second. Why wouldn't I come first? Because you're a C-word.

  • I think a few of you are a little too specific on what you want from the next Bond actor. Sadly, you are less likely to except anyone in the role, as you long for that perfect incarnation of James Bond, that simply doesn't exist. Connery will alwa…
