  • Great movie. My favorite line is after Creedy's henchmen have unloaded their rounds, V tilts his head ever so slightly and says: "My turn." Hugo Weaving's ability to communicate with words and body language alone is quite impressive. The truth of…
  • While I have seasons 1-2 on blu-ray, waiting for season 3 to come to retail in the US. Not to take away from our friend and wonderful VectorVectoria, on the same website that he sells his Bond t-shirts..they also have quite a collection of Sherlock…
  • At the conclusion of CR, Bond is wearing a 3-piece suit and a wounded Mr. White is wearing a suit with a blue shirt. At the beginning of QOS, Bond is wearing a 2-piece suit and Mr. White(in the trunk) has a different suit on also. Continuity pleas…
  • Actually these kind of explosives have been in current military usage for more than 40+ years. The British Army has used PE4(more powerful than C4) for a number of decades. There were attempts at a few govt. officials where the suspects had explo…
  • In the novel 'Casino Royale' Bond is tortured using a carpet beater, in the film it's a rope with a knot. Both equally painful. In the same novel, Smersh is carved into the back of Bond's left hand to mark him, not mentioned ever in the films.
  • Just a few thoughts. Bond doesn't have a soft drink either in the novels or films. He does have a cold, iced coffee and turns his nose up at it. His favorite coffee is Jamaican Blue Mountain. Seems like sole for dinner and scrambled eggs for bre…
  • The Bond shirts arrived and they are great. Much more detail than can be seen here. Plan on ordering more. If you had a classic Honey Rider(she is certainly no villainess) pose with her bikini and a huge sea shell in the background, I'm thinking …
  • Just watched OHMSS over the week-end and it brings up this question: When George is trying to be Sir Hillary, the sound level changes and it sounds like a voice-over to me. I wonder if they used one for the Sir Hillary sequences. Having said th…
  • Sorry if this is the wrong thread for a Pierce question, but here goes: In his Bond movies he is seen using his gun with either hand. I wonder of this was on purpose or what? Don't recall any of the other actors using their left hand.
  • Thanks for the update on more of the Bond villainesses on the way. I shall be looking for them. Your work is wonderful-please, keep going. I think it's great that fans can globally acquire the shirts and your designs. Was kinda frustrated years …
  • Outstanding work!!! Just ordered the Pussy Galore, a few Sherlocks and a couple others from the site. If you add more female Bond villains, I'll be ordering more.

  • Sad to see Tom Laughlin pass. He appeared in the 1958 'South Pacific' film as cigar-chomping pilot Lt. Buzz Adams. A couple great lines in 'The Born Losers' especially when he tells a motorcycle gang to 'clear a path'. 'Rebecca' is a wonderful …
  • Count me in for an unknown actor, preferably British. When you start changing the sex or race of the principal character, it's a sign of desperation and becomes a franchise-killer. I would hate to see that. And I would think to consider that mi…
  • It's the holiday season and many U.S. news organization struggle to have anything new or interesting to say. But they know that anything James Bond will generate interest. I equate it to the annual trap I fall into, where a magazine here will put …
  • Bought the most recent Bond fragrance @ Kohl's in the States. Don't believe it was available in alot of retail here. Will buy the new one in April. Find it humorous that people take up the ghost of Ian Fleming and project their misguided opinio…
  • I can tell you that U.S. sizing and European(international) is different. A standard U. S. men's Medium shirt/sweater is equivalent to a European Small or maybe even a tad smaller. But isn't it the fashion in Europe to wear clothing tighter and sn…

  • It was dreadful. What film franchise has lasted a constant 50 years? What film franchise has had as many top artists and memorable songs? The video was haphazard and sloppily edited. I have no doubt that given one week, a number of the talented …
  • Actually the initial story of Die Hard 4 was to be based on the novel-'Tears of the Sun'. Brucie would survive an airplane crash in the jungle and be pursued by the baddies. Can't remember why it didn't go forward but Brucie didn't feel it was a D…

  • There's really no comparison between Sean and Timothy..Sean is superior in every way. Just a few thoughts: Sean used a sniper's rifle in FRWL and shot down a bloody moving helicopter while hiding in some rocks. Tim shot front a climate controlled…
  • 'Shane' with Alan Ladd. The final shootout has tremendous buildup with the wonderful soundtrack and camera work. The confrontation with Jack Palance is legendary and just when you think it's over..it's not.
  • I heartedly disagree with those who prefer Octopussy. It is a very boring movie. Louis Jourdan chews the screen up with his long, long, long delayed speech patterns. Maud Adams can't hold a candle to Honor Blackman, anyone can clearly see that in…
  • Dexter and Homeland for me. Elementary is on against Suits in the U.S. and I'll take Suits on Thursday nights. When they replay Suits during the day they censor the dreaded 'sh**' word out of it. We are such prudes when it comes to that.
  • I would vote for it being one of the best and iconic movie fights of all time. Moving train, closet-type quarters and using hands, feet and weight distribution/leverage. Plus, it's done in shadows, making it more black/white than color. The fight…
  • Part of the attraction of the Bond movies is to take us to exotic places the majority of us might never see. Using New York is too common and just panders to the American market. Keep Bond international, as there are so many interesting places to …
  • Political in a round about way. I think they moved from the politics of country a long time ago. The movies have been about groups trying to incite a war between super powers, using chemical/biological agents,or trying to control one resource-gold…
