  • Finished up DN earlier tonight! What a fabulous book. Just I had remembered, it's one of the most thoroughly entertaining books I've ever read, both inside and outside the Bond series. Fleming was really on a roll dishing out FRWL and DN back to bac…
  • It's simple and short, but Honey emerging from the water in DN is probably my pick for sexiest moment. Would have been even sexier if it was more in line with the novel version! The part in FRWL when Bond catches Tania in the nude running to her bed…
  • My head canon has always been that Bond keeps condoms on him at all times. Not like it’s hard to transport!
  • Beautifully written @DarthDimi. We’ve had several exchanges related to this topic before, and it’s nice to see you get nice and especially detailed here. I hate the prudish culture surrounding sex and nudity and wish we could all enjoy it carefree, …
  • I love both versions as well.
  • https://thedirect.com/article/christopher-nolan-oppenheimer-rating This was indeed very surprising to me. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t increase my interest in the movie as well! Hoping it’s terrific, I have high hopes.
  • https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/30/ron-desantis-fox-news-interview-destroy-leftism I don't post this to start a political debate. I post it to point out what a disgrace it is and what a horrifying point my nation's come to. When the …
  • There are reasons for optimism, and there are reasons for pessimism. But I just don't understand expending such strong positive or negative energy until one has seen the movie personally and can assess it without biases. At this point personally I f…

  • It’s probably not likely, no. But there have been some highly successful R-rated pictures in recent years. I definitely expect the series to stay PG-13 though.

  • Just one of many great tracks from the excellent, brand new album. Sparks NEVER disappoints <3
  • It was GF for most of my life, but the last 2 years or so I’ve preferred TB. I think it’s Young’s style that puts it above. Personally I feel like TB is the closest balance of any single Bond film between “novel Bond” and “movie” Bond. I prefer the …
  • He’s either going to be monogamous or have no sex at all. 99% sure.

  • Male Moneypenny and female Q would make it interesting as long as the actors are good.
  • Omg it’s flipping back Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease let the Master Collection be available on Switch [-O<
  • It’s like when I pointed out another figure here whose legacy is hatred and malice. This thread’s for respect, though.

  • How about just, those not comfortable with separating fiction from reality shouldn't watch? XP
