  • 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…

  • I love them both. Goldfinger, for its iconography and brisk pace; Thunderball, for its sweeping, lush atmosphere (and Fiona Volpe). I never found the latter slow - probably because it makes such great use of its locations that I'm absorbed by them. …

  • LALD OP TSWLM Good films. The rest are all pretty poor and interchangeable. I will have to have a think about them.
