Bounine-Unless you're in the U.S. and prepared to wait up to one year, I'd order the U.K. version. I enjoy reading the book the way the author intended and in proper English spelling and word usage. I just checked on Amazon U.K. and it looks like …

Unlike the fleas who confuse post activity with accomplishment, Beam is more interested in the result than the methods. While some think that picking his teeth and rolling his eyes makes Greene an intelligent bad guy, that's far from accurate. Lik…

Sad to hear the passing of Paul Revere(drummer) of 'Paul Revere and the Raiders'. An American rock band that found success in the 1960's and 1970's. Had a nice string of hits such as 'Kicks Getting Harder to Find' and others.

Another self-induced face plant by Mr. Timmer. Well done. The American C.I.A. has been in more attempted regime changes in the last 60 years than any of us can count. They have chosen to deal with some of the most brutal, sadistic criminals aroun…

I found QoS disappointing as there was little plot and scenes seemed to be dashed together to meet a deadline. The fight scene with the ropes, platforms and pulleys is a direct lift from a Chinese kung fu movie using long poles. And who wears a le…

I think it's one of the stronger films. Laz's Bond is closer to the original character, no gadgets and Bond must rely on his own physical skills and brains. The musical score is good and scenery is nice. On a related note, the actress who playe…

I saw David Fincher's Girl Gone last night and it's a pretty good movie. Ben Affleck and his wig play the leading roles and Rosamund Pike(hubba..hubba) plays his wife. This role could launch her career into greater heights.

The NFL is a corrupt money making machine. If Ray Rice was a 3rd string running back, he would have been cut months ago. They could care less about head injuries to players or domestic abuse to women, as long as 'the shield' is protected and the g…

Chrisisall- I'll try to give an answer without sounding preachy. The decision to purchase a firearm of any kind is a personal decision that you can't take lightly. It is a weapon and not a toy. It's primary function is to take a life and you m…

At the suggestions of some of the members here, I've read two of the Barry Eisler novels with John Rain. They were entertaining. Not as good as Ian Fleming. I've ordered the remaining novels to have some fun summer reads. I can recommend the Mar…

I saw an interesting discussion this morning about FIFA, America and the 2022 World. Everyone knows that FIFA is probably the most corrupt sports organization around. But other than the English press, very few news organizations are willing to tak…

Gentlemen--Hitch's film is 'Saboteur' not 'Sabotage'. It is quite good. I also enjoy '39 Steps' as Robert Donat is a great actor. I wonder what Hitch's obsession was with blondes? As far as car chases goes, there was a French(?) film done in t…

The ESPN(USA) announcers used terms like "humiliation", "annihilation", "disgrace" and others that were even worse. At one point they said that the Brazilian defense seemed "bemused". Never heard that one before. But God was smiling, possibly e…

@Creasy47, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Fritz Lang's 'Man Hunt' with Walter Pidgeon and George Sanders is also very good. I find many directors and films from the 30's and 40's to be risk takers and very satisfying. One of the disappoint…

I recently re-watched Fritz Lang's classic film 'M' from the early 1930's. It's in the original German, but with English subtitles. I wish I knew German so I could fully appreciate it. It's one of Lang's first films and has Peter Lorre in the ens…

Now for something completely different. ESPN aired prior to the Brazil/Columbia match the Annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. What else is better than having the world's most prosperous nation demonstrate how insensitive we are to world hunger…

I would suggest reading the extensive bio on German super commando-Otto Skorzeny. During my Ranger and Special Ops training, Skorzeny's missions and methods are taught. He did some pretty incredible things.

In the USA, everything has a price tag and especially the media. A 30 second Superbowl ad goes for $3 million(US) and certain parts of the game even higher. They ran out of actual game ad space so they extended the pre-game shows to about 5-6 hour…

I'm really enjoying the World Cup, except for the flopping, diving and of course, biting. At last we have a sporting event in which the U.S. shows up with all our bluster and bravado and the better teams say: 'Oh, look who's here. Go sit over the…

I would add classic tv shows Batman(with Adam West) and Superman(George Reeves). And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that a certain British spy was introduced on tv in the mid-50's, who has had a pretty good run in the movies.

Netflix is announcing a $1 to $2(depending on your country) monthly price increase for new members. I don't know if many of you face the same problem we have in the States, but even with HBO/Showtime, etc... there are some nights there is nothing w…

Good work, Miranda. I like all the drawings. Keep plugging away and as long as you are having fun, that's more than most people have in their life. Don't quit.

Color me old. I think my first memory of Bond is seeing a tv ad for 'Dr. No'. And while it's tame by today's standards, it was pretty interesting and peaked my interest. Then I found out that Pres. JFK liked the Fleming novels(there were novels?)…

I don't know how much of a 'moral compass' he has, after all he's personally killed almost 380 people in the movies. No moral compass or memory, which keeps him going it seems. If that body count seems high, I seem to recall an article about the 6…

Any list of Bond women starts with Ursula Andress. Her photo in the white bikini is the only iconic such photo from the Bond films.

With spy satellites taking photos of every square meter of this planet every 2 hours, color me suspicious. The U.S. has the capability to read the license plate of a vehicle in complete darkness from 150 miles up, but can't find a passenger plane? …

Gentlemen..gentlemen...please don't let a Yank bring peace to the room. In the Young James Bond series, Bond's aunt drives a Bentley and in a subsequent novel Bond sees the same model for sale and plans to buy it with casino winnings. I once s…

Canada was very impressive in the first 2-3 minutes of overtime. The USA threw everything they had at them and they weathered the storm. I believe I heard that there are 87,000 registered women hockey players in Canada. WOW!! Go Sweden!!!!!
