  • I would hope that Craig keeps going for a few more films after Bond 23. I'd like to see EON fully explore where they can take the Bond character while they've got an actor of Daniel Craig's quality in the role.
  • Chuck ("Chuck Vs. The Muuurder") A fun little murder mystery episode that was a much different type of episode than the show usually puts on. Very good though, with a nice little twist at the end that sets up things going forward for the next few …
  • Definitely the release of Casino Royale. Long before it was even known it was going to be an official film in the franchise, and probably going back as far as the mid-1990s when I first read it, Fleming's first Bond novel was and continues to be on…
  • Quoting Ytterbium: But maybe Vesper's death moves me less, because Bond go on just after it, setting new goals and directions. Paradoxically, I was more moved in QOS when Vesper is evoked, and when Bond definitely bury her by throwing the necklace. …
  • Some that immediately come to mind: Dent's death in DN Bond kicking Locque off of the cliff in FYEO Sanchez's death in LTK Bond leaving Greene to die in the middle of the desert.
  • 1. Craig - Very cool delivery in what is possibly the coolest usage of the line in the entire franchise. 2. Dalton - Like someone else said, I love how he doesn't make a big deal out of it. When others say it, especially Brosnan, it's like they …
  • In terms of the cinematic depictions of these events, Tracey's was more moving. Had they filmed something similar to Vesper's death in the actual novel, then I would have found hers more moving. I think that they thought that Vesper's death in the…
  • Gave Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, one of my all-time favorite albums, a listen the other day for the first time in a while.
  • Quoting The_Reaper: Craig needs to be overmatched yet come out on top at the end, b/c he is Bond. Agreed 100% Bond does need that kind of physical challenge, which is something he hasn't really had from any of the villains he's fought thus fa…
  • I like all of them, but especially the "007 in New York" one. Even though I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the title itself, the poster for that one looks awesome.
  • Quoting MajorDSmythe: In that case, I can't possibly recommend May enough. It's without question, my favourite horror film. Thanks. Will definitely check that one out.
  • Quoting MajorDSmythe: The involvement of Bettis & McKee make The Woman a must see for me. Looking through their IMDb pages, I've never seen any of their films. Looks like I've got some more horror films to check out now, which is great cons…
  • Here's a couple: From Russia With Love / The Living Daylights / Casino Royale (2006):three of the more serious Bond films. FRWL and TLD each feature great Cold War storylines while CR features what a fairly close modern-day equivalent. Licence to…
  • It's always either Dalton or Craig for me.
  • Quoting MajorDSmythe: I'm not too sure about The Innkeepers. :-? The synopsis doesn't really grab me, but i'll still see it for curiosity sake. Now the film i'm really looking foward too is The Woman. The Woman sounds rather interesting. I hadn'…
  • I'd be disappointed if EON went the 3D route for several reasons. First of all being that most of the 3D fare out there is pretty bad, as the main focus is on seeing just how many objects can be thrown at the screen to maximize the 3D effect. The …
    in Bond - 3D Comment by Chuck March 2011
  • Quoting MajorDSmythe: All the sequels, prequels and all round awful films are worth sitting through to get to those now all to rare horror films that come onto the scene with little-to-no pomp & ceremony beforehand, and just let the content spea…
  • Quoting MajorDSmythe: And I must say that I could never tire of the THOTD appreciation i'm seeing. I think that it deserves just about any and all praise that it gets. In the era of over-reliance on CGI and jump scares, THOTD does a phenomenal j…
  • Sean Connery 1962 - Dr. No 1963 - From Russia With Love 1964 - Diamonds Are Forever (more serious film that is more inline with the novel) 1965 - Thunderball 1969 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1970 - You Only Live Twice (faithful adaptation of t…
  • Quoting GeorgeLazenby: A worthy successor to Barry first and foremost Agreed. I'm ready for a new direction for the music of the series as well. It would have made sense to have done it for Casino Royale given the other changes that were made. …
  • Octopussy is my choice without question. I've never been a huge fan of Goldfinger, but OP is always a fun watch, and it does a good job of mixing the more serious style with Roger Moore's comedic abilities, which is a balance they could have found …
  • Quoting DarthDimi: True. The 70s style dominates this film without it being mocked. Essentially, Ti West understands that the eery vibes we get from 70s horror is precisely the thing we need to experience certain types of horror in the best possible…
  • Quoting DarthDimi: Watched House Of The Devil again last night. One of the best horror flicks in recent times I must admit. It's one of my favorites in the genre in quite some time as well. I stumbled upon it sometime last year and loved how it w…
  • Quoting timmer: Darn, was that the final V episode of the season? :( Its the only show I eagerly tune in. Yes we need a third season for sure. Yes the show is kind of silly but that's why I like it. It's got a lighter tone, even though there is mu…
  • V:Caught the season (series?) finale of this one tonight on ABC after having followed it since it debuted back in 2009. I thought they really hit their stride towards the end of this second season, with some great twists and turns right up to the v…
  • I love the scene. It takes a type of scene that we see over and over again in action films, the shootout, and puts a new spin on it (or at least a new spin as far as the Bond franchise is concerned). I thought that it was done quite well, and as o…
  • 1a. Timothy Dalton 1b. Daniel Craig 3. Sean Connery 4. Roger Moore 5. George Lazenby 6. Pierce Brosnan Dalton and Craig easily rank ahead of the rest atop my rankings, with the only problem being that I can't decide which I like better as Bon…
  • 1. Quantum of Solace 2. The Living Daylights 3. Casino Royale 4. Licence to Kill 5. From Russia With Love 6. Dr. No 7. For Your Eyes Only 8. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 9. Octopussy 10. Thunderball 11. Live and Let Die 12. The Spy Who L…
  • I just want to see a great story being told that doesn't rely much on the over-the-top action sequences that have become a staple of the franchise over the past decade or so. A film more in line with the likes of From Russia With Love or Dr. No rat…
  • Definitely From Russia With Love. I like both films quite a bit, but FRWL features a better performance from the actor playing Bond (and, for that matter, this is easily Connery's best performance in the role on top of that) and has a great Cold Wa…
