One of my unanswered Bond questions, is exactly why Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi were cast? The story about what happened after they were cast in the roles is oft-told, but nothing about what happened prior to that. I can only guess, that Toho tho…

ah, viewing of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE @ToTheRight, a film that always makes it into my top 10 (at either 9 or 10, but still). A great John Barry score and his best until the next film (OHMSS), so he was on a roll in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Plus …

Not a “Last Movie Watched”, but one that intend to revisit very soon after coming across this informative Youtube video several days ago. SILENT RUNNING (1971) used to be on TV quite a lot in the late 1970s as part of the sci-fi craze post STAR WARS…

Happy 81st birthday (June 25th) to the lovely and talented Carly Simon. Truly, nobody does it better!!

It’s been a while since I’ve watched GODZILLA vs. DESTOROYAH (1995), but as you stated @Gerald, Godzilla’s death is quite poignant. And it was good to link back to the film that started it all. Despite there being no theatrical release in the…

I'll go with the TMWTGG slide whistle. As @CraigMooreOHMSS stated, it completely undermines what was a pretty remarkable stunt.

@ToTheRight, one of the delights of getting into "classic era" films has been my discovery of Bogart. Of course, I knew of him, but I wasn't really knowledgeable about the full scope of his work (*). Upon viewing, yeah, he more than lives up to his …

Major League Baseball legend Willie Mays has died. He was 93. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/18/us/willie-mays-death-baseball-legacy.html For non-US readers; Willie, Mickey and the Duke (as the song refers to) are Willie Mays, Mickey Mant…

If I may be permitted to vote in the tiebreaker round (I didn't vote originally) ..... ........ wait for it ........ DAF! Plus, Connery's tie. Too short and too pink! :-t

Great memories @ToTheRight. Octopussy was the first "new" Bond film that I saw in theaters. For some reason, I was off from my summer job on Monday, August 29, 1983. Visited my mother (at her job) for a few minutes and then headed to Times Square…

@Gerald. That looks like the Toyko Shock label release of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS from 2011. I recall there being a disagreement between Toho and Tokyo Shock at the time over some of the DVD bonus features for this (or GODZILLA vs. MEAGLON, I can't re…

@peter. From what I've learned there are two different versions of the English subtitles for GODZILLA: MINUS ONE on Netflix: English Closed Captioned (CC) and English. FWIW, I don't have Netflix so I can't independent verify this. https://www.…

Thanks @peter. It appears that most viewers are doing the same thing, despite the default showing the dubbed version. I've only heard bits and pieces of the dubbed version and while not as bad as I feared, the effect of the film is lessened. F…

That "other" Toho classic from 1954 has been the subject of a 4K restoration and it will be released to US theaters starting in July. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2024/06/09/seven-samurai-4k-restoration-theaters/74027409007/ …

@DarthDimi, it seems that we are repeating the mistakes of history. And not just by accident, but in many cases, actively cheering it on. I never been more depressed, frankly.

As for a sequel @MajorDSmythe, there is no word at this point. For the record, Toho officials were quoted several months ago as stating that they would not "rush" into the next live-action Godzilla film. In fact, the director's next project has alre…

knowledge expert. I like to think that Bond is well read. In another thread, I mentioned that while recent films have had Bond globe-trotting as much as ever, we rarely get to see him interact with a foreign culture or people. I would like to see…
