  • @Thunderfinger Afraid not. I’ll give this clue: it has something to do with Bond himself.
  • @Thunderfinger Sorry, no. Nothing to do with the villains/henchmen.

  • @goldenswissroyale Good guess, but not it. I did not even think about that one!
  • My favorite of the Genesis albums - at least that I've heard so far (all the Peter Gabriel ones). An epic musical journey; I love a good concept album.
  • @Thunderfinger Not it. Good guess though!
  • @goldenswissroyale Thank you! That was a good set. YOLT TSWLM MR TND Which is the odd one out and why?
  • Let's try this: all three movies include cemeteries. In LALD, there's the cemetery in San Monique. In FYEO, there's the cemetery in the PTS where Bond visits Tracy's grave. In SF, there is the cemetery in Scotland near the chapel, which includes the…

  • I saw and loved 1917 (2020). It’s simply fantastic - unbelievable cinematography, great acting, intense action, an exquisite soundtrack, and stellar directing. Mendes outdid himself with this one. Deserves to go down as one of the all-time great war…

  • There you have it. The jigsaw puzzle for this production seems to be (hopefully) complete! I liked what I heard from Eilish; I think she definitely can do a good Bond song.
  • Each of the three films has a henchman falling to their death from out of a window: Tee-Hee is flipped out of the train's window by Bond in LALD, Erich is pushed out the window of the building by Bond in FYEO, and Patrice falls from the building in …

  • Thank you @peter and @royale65! I’m definitely expecting it to rank high by the end of this marathon. I’ll probably be covering FRWL on Wednesday or Thursday.
  • @Birdleson Thank you; I hope to! Certainly doesn't hurt that the series starts with many of the very best. I really don't know how similar or different the ranking will turn out compared to my other ones. I felt as invested as ever this time around …
  • I've done many Bondathons before, but it feels a little extra special every time I've done one leading up to a new Bond film coming out. With No Time to Die releasing in April, I'm having myself yet another Bondathon, going in classic chronological …
  • An awesome watch of DN helped make up for a rough last few days. Will be posting longer thoughts on the Bondathon thread.

  • So this is confirmed? I haven’t heard her before; I’ll have to listen to a few songs.
  • And now Houston’s trying to give it away? EDIT: Houston’s defense... wow. The most embarrassing, inept output I’ve seen from any unit all season.
  • You sure can’t bet on anything in the playoffs, especially this year. I don’t think anything left could surprise me.
  • KC trying to make Baltimore look good by comparison. Geez.
  • @royale65 Thanks! Your assessment of LALD certainly is more on the negative side than my own. I fall somewhere between you and @Birdleson on that one; not in my Top 10 (it was a long time ago), but safely away from my bottom few - unless somethin…
  • I know you guys are joking, but it’s still making me sick to my stomach :-& (Spoiler)

  • It's officially the first week of my 2020 Bondathon. Not sure exactly when I'll watch DN - maybe even later today if I have time - but I'm super excited to start this and I seriously hope it culminates in a great film with NTTD. I'll post thoughts w…
