  • Kind of an interesting note with number of films: Lazenby had 1 Dalton had 2 Brosnan had 4 Craig will have 5 Connery had 6 Moore had 7 If the next actor ends up with 3 films, how strange would that be! As far as tone goes, I'd prefer t…

  • OMG, this thread needs some decent rumers. I'm so sick of reading about the M:I franchise.
  • Didnt know where to put this, but I thought many of you might enjoy this Thanksgiving treat...
  • I guess I see Bond as half loyalist half anarchist/maverick. I know 'loyal ancharchy' is the epitome of an oxymoron, but I hope you can follow what I'm trying to get at. Bond clearly bucks authority and aristocracy, but only to do what he believes…

  • So if I had to pick one in my lifetime (which is rather quite limiting), I hate to say it, but I'm with jbohoh7. I am NOT a fan of Trump's tactics, but the tenure so far does seem to be producing decent results. I like the fact that he has directl…

  • Yes and thank you. The producers have wisely managed to keep Bond far enough away from world politics over the years and I suggest we do the same here. There is another thread to talk politics, if that is your desire.

  • Ugh, why either of them? There are far better artists out there. I hate star power and its ability to influence.
  • Re: Violence and Voting Ethics Let's assume I try to best vote for candidates strictly on the policies that I feel best benefit the country (ignoring theatrics). Given that condition, if a candidate I want to vote for is one who is associated wi…

  • Damn, if they go to Canada, Quebec City is where it's at! I've also toured Nova Scotia and that was pretty awesome as well.

  • I look forward to voting. I'm no Trumpster, but I like the fact that he has the balls to place tariffs that begin to counteract the enormous trade deficits. It'll hurt in the short term and has/will certainly ruffle feathers with allies, but it'll…
