What about Saltzman not selling his shares to Cubby? Another very big mistake, if you ask me. Many production delays were caused by that poor move.

A blond actor is but a dye away from not being a blond actor. I don't think the hair colour is an issue. Connery wore a toupée and that didn't present a problem either.

Ryan Gosling could make a fine Felix in my opinion. He's got a charming presence, he can do action and comedy, he looks good in a tux, and he's a pretty good actor overall. I'd certainly welcome him into a Bond movie.

Get well soon, gents! This isn't a good time to be ill.

I also think that after a few days of discussing gyms in a thread supposedly speculating about where Bond goes next, we can, indeed, move on to another topic. So rather than see @talos7 disengage from the conversation, I'm hoping the conversation ca…

Bond appeals to me because of the fantasy element. He lives the danger and the good life. He has many vices and gets away with them. He kills in cold blood, drops a line of dry humor, and takes a girl to bed without remorse. His most important skill…

@CommanderRoss You are correct in your assessment! :-)

Bad Boys is a fine action flick. Bad Boys 2 is pretty cringe overall, with a couple cool scenes. I loved BB4Life.

The Gentlemen is both a great film and an excellent series. I love it. James is really good in it. I keep playing the mental game of picturing him as Bond. I'm half there.

Mrs. Doubtfire is a bonafide childhood favourite of mine. Mars Attacks is another goofy Burton film that I struggle with each time I watch it. (Burton is not my guy, although some of his films are great IMO.) Regardless of Pierce, I'll always pick t…

If we're talking about the books, I can mostly agree. GF is dense and it's got excellent passages in it, but it's one of Fleming’s lesser entries for me. That doesn't mean it's a bad book, though. I still enjoy reading it. Nevertheless, it's one of …

@MajorDSmythe I really liked that movie when I first saw it. It's been a while, though. Thanks for reminding me, I'm giving it another watch soon. 👍
