  • I wonder if Horowitz will return to James Suzuki, or whatever he wants to call him. I know in his day Gardner didn't have Glidrose's permission to continue this storyline and Benson closed the story on his side with a short story, but, considering t…
  • While I don't think Aidan Turner would have been considered by the past considering Eon's production pace (with a movie every four years on average, Turner would have been quickly too old), Amazon could impose a higher frequency. I don't know if it'…

  • As part of a fast-paced edit, some excerpts from Bond and Kara's escape in Aston Martin could be great. Otherwise, I though of an other escape, Bond and Natalya's one from the Russian military prison, from the cell to the archives room.

  • Without ranking it as high as in my top 10, I quite like NSNA and I think it may be in my top 15 or so favorite Bond films, even though I never thought about it before. I guess a lot of it had to do with the fact that it was the first installment…

  • These few touch-ups are notable, even if discreet and effectively contribute to making this already very beautiful poster even more magnificent. Great job!
