A really enjoyable write-up @Torgeirtrap. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Kino Lorber usually does a great job with their releases, so I'm glad that you were able to overcome the region-code issues. I have THE DROWNING POOL - the sequel…

Maybe they are waiting to see how well Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny do at the box office before shaping Bond 26 - as both received Bond like budgets. One thing to keep in mind was that Top Gun: Ma…

@ToTheRight. One issue that few people have discussed about "Bond 26" is the matter of the budget. NTTD cost in the range (IIRC) of $ 250-300 million. While it is possible that Amazon/MGM say "OK. Spend whatever it takes on Bond 26" there is also a …

I'll just post this .... without comment. https://twitter.com/TheSpyCommand/status/1635414378270048256

While things my change in the future, for now my opinion on NTTD hasn’t changed: as a Bond film it ranks in the middle of the pack. On the positive side, NTTD is a far better film than SP and I felt that the chemistry between Craig and Léa Seydou…

@ToTheRight: I also have a hunch that you will like it! :D Given that 2023 marks Gloria Grahame's centennial, I'll probably going to do a deep dive into her filmography in the same manner. As for "Dr. Kildare", I only know it through the old Ric…

Happy 90th birthday to Barbara Feldon ("Agent 99"). :x :x :x

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss @ToTheRight - especially as she was a link to your late girlfriend. Even though they aren't human, we do form really intense feelings for our pets. And some would say that - in some ways - those feelings are "pur…

You may be on to something @Herr_Stockmann. I’m glad that I’m not the only person that views Lois Maxwell’s tenure as having two – very – distinctive eras. For me, it breaks down to Connery/Lazenby/early Moore and then “late” Moore. Her appearanc…

@Fire_and_Ice_Returns, I think that Lana Turner was just eighteen years old (or so) when she did RICH MAN, POOR GIRL (1958) – still the “Sweater Girl” from THEY WON'T FORGET (1937)! :D That said, don’t sleep on Ruth Hussey. I loved her in THE PH…

FYI: A nice tweet posted today on "Old Time Football" about Bernie Casey. I've seen this clip before, but it is still really good. For those that aren't US football fans, he is being interviewed by NFL films (about an interview that he gave during h…

@ToTheRight. As if the tragic story line of HE RAN ALL THE WAY wasn't enough, that film proved to be Garfield's final movie. A nice summary of both the film and the tragedy that surrounded it. http://www.classicmoviehub.com/blog/film-noir-review-…

A John Garfield appreciation post to mark the occasion of his birthday (March 4, 1913). One of the pleasures of getting into classic film (from the “Golden Age”) has been discovering that the icons were icons for good reason. And Garfield, who died…
