  • I agree - TB is littered wifh some of my favorite Connery Bond moments but the film's long, dreadful pace doesn't do the film any favors. I think being told SPECTRE's plan and then watching Bond have to play catch up doesn't really help either. The …
  • Floating around YouTube and came across a Craig interview from a couple of months back. The man said, "I've got the best job in the world. I'll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it. If I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terrib…
  • I dislike that Waltz wouldn't even move his own microphone, yet he's doing all the brunt work towards the end of the film.
  • I guess if you call this a smile... https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/jamesbond/images/a/a1/Vlcsnap-2014-01-14-22h57m09s55.png/revision/latest?cb=20140428010141
  • I still think the admiral in GE got it pretty rough, although there could be worse ways to go than between Famke Janssen's legs...
  • I've heard a lot of people complain that Dench returned in CR - I enjoyed her in the role and her absence left a void in SP. Her cameo may be one of my favorite parts of SP even. In fact, I'm completely fine with her returning based on the ending of…
  • While I don't think FYEO is the most boring Bond film (I give that honor to TND), I think that the soundtrack doesn't help - Barry was definitely needed here. Apart from a couple of moments, I think this one is just medocre. I haven't yet watched th…
  • Growing up with Brosnan as Bond, I loved him in the role - he was easily my favorite. TWINE was probably one of my most watched VHS tapes when I was younger. At some point in 2005, though, my opinion changed - Connery became my favorite (hasn't b…
  • First time I was introduced to a Bond was Goldfinger...couldn't have been older than four or five. I distinctly remembering Brosnan wearing that white tuxedo. Years later when I became a bigger fan, I was surprised to see that Brosnan never even wor…

  • Been playing a little bit of The Godfather: The Don's Edition for the PS3. It's similar to EA's FRWL in that it feels like a director's cut of the movie. I enjoy the deviations and I think it's definitely a fun experience. The 40's recreation of New…

  • In no particular order, since it's so hard to pick... Top Ten: - Goodfellas - The Godfather - Titanic - Die Hard - Terminator 2: Judgement Day - The Shawshank Redemption - Raging Bull - Back To The Future - Forrest Gump - Groundhog Day
  • I would say the "going-Japanese" sideplot is absolutely rediculous but the film has such a quick pace that I feel there really isn't much time to even think about it. Along with one of Barry's best scores, we're treated to some of the series best…
  • Seeing the convo on the last page, this will definitely be a controversal opinion...my last Bondathon dating right before SP's release, I ranked YOLT ahead of TB.
  • I obviously didn't mean take over now - he's 48. But I definitely think he could've been quite a decent choice to follow Brosnan. He has charisma and a certain ruggedness to him that I think would have fit the character well.
  • Hugh Jackman. While I wouldn't want to lose Craig (I believe his name was thrown around before Craig got the part), I think he could've portrayed a more cyncial and world-weary Bond quite convincingly. He's definitely too old to get the role now …
  • I think it's funny that thinking LTK is better is a controversial opinion. First time I ever seen either of them, I watched both of them back to back and LTK has always been my preferred outing. TLD completely drags to a halt when Bond arrives in Af…

  • Connery: Bond's intro in Dr. No. Shooting Dent in cold blood. Coming face to face with Evil in YOLT. Lazenby: Sliding across the ice wielding a machine gun at Piz Gloria. "Guns make me nervous!" Moore: Sliding down the staircase railing dur…
  • Lazenby in DAF. When SP was first announced, I had this idea of a "SPECTRE Begins" -type film where we would see Blofeld baiting Bond into destroying Quantum in order to take out his criminal competition. I still believe this would've been better…
  • I honestly believe Craig looked much younger in SP than SF. Must be the hair style. I think he could definitely come back for one more, if not more. Don't forget, Craig also likes to get physically in shape for the role too - I believe he has a l…

  • Picked this up for 50 cents at a flea market today, still in the shrinkwrap - I have the DVD version but figured why not, especially since it's new.
  • My original 60gb PS3 got the dreaded yellow light of death. I bought a slim PS2 recently for $25 here in the States. I'm sure you could find one cheap online.
