  • It’s funny how people complain about Craig being whiny and negative, fixating on two off the cuff dumb comments in the course of his 13 years and hundreds of interviews... and yet they never apply self-examination to their fixation to realize it’s t…

  • As someone who was too young to see Jaws, but grew up on Indiana Jones, it was kind of hard ranking Jaws over Raiders... still watching Jaws as an adult, it’s a fantastic movie. It made Spielberg, Spielberg. I wouldn’t say Raiders is less than, it j…

  • @Birdleson. If Folio had replicated the original covers and the physicality of both cover and pages been better, it would be my ultimate dream set! If I lived in England, I would go to estate sales on a regular basis with one hope in mind, findin…
  • My first Folio came, Moonraker... I love the illustrations to be sure. But, I thought I would love the texture of the cover and the pages themselves, assuming they would be really something special and with that I'm a little underwhelmed... it's go…
  • My top 10. Admittedly, I've never seen The Color Purple, A.I., Duel... should probably get on that. 10. Catch Me If You Can 9. E.T. 8. Saving Private Ryan 7. Munich 6. Lincoln 5. Minority Report 4. Schindler's List 3. Jurassic Park 2. Rai…
  • It will be good to have a brief scene with Craig’s Bond relaxing, but even more important to me is bringing back the vacation vibe of the movie itself. It’s impossible to be in Jamaica without it and it’s a crucial element of Bond and missing reall…

  • Fukunaga’s favorite Bond film is Casino Royale. Joy to the World. Also like Rami’s classic taste: ["
  • I’m all for these additions to the Octopussy collection... first time I’ve heard of Fleming’s screenplay for MR. Wow.
  • Has Lea or anyone given anything away about Madeline... cameo, pivotal, coming along for ride? The movie would be sexless without her if Bond is now exclusive

  • Perhaps it's Rowan Atkinson who should be starting the movie... The event was underwhelming, yeah... starting off so beautiful with the location and the reality of being at Goldeneye and then getting nothing more out of it... I wish they had …
  • Is there anywhere here or online where Fleming's Murder on Wheels and Russian Roulette are printed completely? I'd like to read them and I don't have the Horowitz editions that include them.
  • More bogus rumors hopefully. I really do like Charlize Theron, but I hope she’s never in a Bond movie... along with all the other a-listers. I’m surprised if invites went out last week to the media that no one’s been able to confirm day and time …
  • Welcome @007_MJH. We’re about the same age (48 in my case), so that’s heartening. I recommend you take the time and start reading Fleming (in order is recommended, but not required). You’re love of Bond will override any hesitation of reading a lot …
  • There's no question MI is a copy franchise, but it's firing on all cylinders right now and Rebecca Ferguson is a large part of that... so Bond would likely come across as just being lame and unoriginal and copying them. It's a timing thing if nothin…
  • If female 007 is a great character it will still be an irksome gimmick to have made her 007. If she's a great MI6 female agent, guess which franchise they'll be immediately saying Bond is copying? Plus, the rumor casting was for her as young, which …

  • @Denbigh You have to see a female 007, even if it is not "feminist" driven is still baiting #MeToo not by trying to appease them but by incurring their wrath... they will be all over that. If female 007 doesn't get enough screen time they will be pi…

  • Yes, 007 can be a woman in this context, however why go there? You're only baiting #MeToo. EON should ignore #MeToo and make great movies so that everyone ignores #MeToo and SJWs and their stupid complaints about Bond. I don't want a team movie w…
  • Thanks for the head's up, @Red_Snow
