  • I typically go in for Wyler's Ben-Hur and The Sound Of Music. I'm not a religious man but Ben-Hur is a magnificent film that fits the Easter season, I guess. The Sound Of Music is just "an Easter thing" that my wife put on the menu for some reason. …
  • Why, thank you, @007ClassicBondFan. I'm trying to approach the Amazon deal cautiously, not getting too hyped up just yet. Their first bit of output will have to convince me. If it does, I'll be paying more attention to what they're doing next; bu…

  • Not really. It's part of the James Bond fantasy. No one could make this work... except Bond. I quite like this move.

  • https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c39jj9vkr34o This is exciting news. Just to be clear, this doesn't "confirm" that K2-18b has "little green men" running around on its surface, but the detection of organic gases gives us hope. Such gases usually …

  • I had Gobinda at number 6. He's one of the few truly imposing while still "normal" henchmen. Kabir Bedi has menace written all over him. He also acts very well. I like the character and the actor very much. A great addition to the OP cast.
  • Mr. Jaws is a special man—one might say a complicated man. He may not even be a real man, but an abstraction of one. He enjoys shark for lunch and cable car fibre for dinner. Girls with or without glasses, with or without braces, with or without pon…

  • I agree with the man. Films that I care about will be bought on Blu-Ray. The physical copy gives me a better sense of having that piece of art in my house.
  • Beautiful. I hadn't seen that before.
  • @Daltonforyou Would you mind adding your post to this thread? https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/8634/which-painting-or-sculpture-do-you-love/p1 That way, we can keep the forum properly organized. Thank you!
  • I've always dreamt of a Nicolas Winding Refn directed Bond film, although I'm sure I'm pretty much alone in that. ;-)
  • About a year ago, I started reading Frank Herbert's six Dune books. I finished those around Christmas. The latter two were a chore. I have now stepped into the realm of Dune books written by Herbert's son Brian, along with Kevin J. Anderson. Afte…
  • And yet, if we're zooming in on the Jameses themselves, I'm not sure I find either particularly cool. Connery oozed "cool" in DN, FRWL and GF, but gradually lost some of that in his next films. He's not "uncool" in YOLT, don't get me wrong, but I ra…

  • Come on. Romulus is the best of the bunch since Aliens. There's hardly any room for debate here. Ah well, it is just my opinion, I know. Truth is, I like the film very much. If this is the path they'll continue to take for the next couple of entries…
