I am never too sure about Glen. It's odd that Octopussy and AVTAK are from the same director as FYEO, TLD and LTK. Even though I have a big love for OP...it's just so brought down by partly horrible humor. Could have been one of the best, and …

Looks: Dalton. Personality: Moore with I would say traces of Craig's Bond (odd combination I know) What I would love to be a bit more like.... well I like myself, I'm fine, but I wouldn't complain if I had a bit more of Connery's Bond ^^

Having her serve him breakfast is a nice nod. I don't think we need a scene (or more) that focus on her though. Especially not after Skyfall. I can hear people complaining about the next elderly woman looking after Bond ;-) I actually would have …

Done, though he has some major competition in Robert Downey Jr.!

Haha that truly is some serious dislike. I know MR is a bit more out there than the others but it still gets nowhere near Pepper-quality imo. (Though I admit that I find Pepper in LALD partly very amusing... )

Haha awesome! And amazing how Dan handles the crowd. Happy Birthday, Marketto!

I disagree. It was not so much about Bond and Silva as it was about M and Silva. Bond was nuisance in Silva's plan. His aim and conflict was M. There was no need for a final showdown between Bond and Silva imo. We get one between M and Silva and in…

1. Rick Van Nutter 2. Jack Lord 3. Wright 4. Hedison I don't really care for the others to be honest..

I can't choose... seriously I tried. But if I had to... ah... I guess: 3) Shanghai (0.44-0.54) 7) Enquiry + DB5 heading to Scotland (1.37-1.52) 8) Skyfall attack (1.53-2.16) Those stood really out. I love the swiming in Shanghai, the silenc…

I don't think that Blofeld was ever really well portrayed in the movies. Pleasance was sinister and fun but suffers wildly from Austin Power nowadays. He just is too corny and cartoony for my taste. Savalas had a great arrogant side and was more…

It's Bond vs Grant for me. It's imo one of the best scenes, if not the best scene, of the franchise anyway. Stairwell fight and bathroom fight in CR were brilliant and I loved the fight in Shanghai with Patrice in Skyfall. Oddjob and the fight ag…

"Old dog, new tricks" sums it up pretty well for me. He is kinda old fashioned and relys on the past (hence the DB5 or the Q scene) and when all else fails he gets M out of the modern world into the/his past. The razor in Skyfall is a metaphor…

I watched it last weekend for the first time in years, and previously hated it ... I enjoyed it though I still don't know how I rank OHMSS. My girlfriend said and I agree, that it feels so different. I think it's a beautiful movie and I love t…

This is going to be the ultimate test. Wth P&W gone (who had their share of good ideas and contributions mind you), it will be really interesting to see how much of the Skyfall's praise really belongs to Mendes and Logan. I think P&W h…
