  • Pam. I like boats. Especially motorboats.
  • I listened to both of the videos posted and did my best to engage with Chris Gore's review, but when they came in with "the studio hates Indiana Jones as a character" crap about two minutes in, I found it difficult to take it seriously beyond that. …

  • I had a guy on Twitter tell me that the chase wasn't all that exciting unless you were the type of person to find people chasing other people in Tuk-Tuks exciting. Clearly I am that type of person.

  • I was referring to CGI there, mainly. I'd count model work especially as being practical.

  • There are two scenes that I find quite sexy despite the fact that it doesn't actually involve Bond sleeping with the women featured. - Bond and Onatopp in the sauna in GoldenEye - Eve shaving Bond in Macau in Skyfall

  • I've liked all the scores so far, to be honest. There isn't really a bad one among them.
  • Antonio Banderas doing his best Pedro Pascal, there.

  • I've been reading a lot of the comments here and found it all very interesting from both sides of the discussion. It's true that Bond is a very damaged individual in a number of ways. Many of those ways are what makes him extremely good at his jo…
  • I don't really get it either. I'll reserve judgement on her performance, because I am not 100% sure on her acting skills yet. But that's not what a lot of these guys seem to take issue with - it's almost like they have an issue with her existence. N…
