  • I could go either way on Martin Campbell. It isn't an age thing. I think that he just wants to end on a higher note than when he started. That's rare in any Bond media. Similar to Anthony Horowitz in a way.
  • One of my all time favorites. Flawless, entertaining every time. A simple story, with great suspense, namely with the music, editing and Robert Shaw's Oscar-Worthy acting. Next year, with it's 50th anniversary, it will still be scaring people out of…

  • https://x.com/jeremyjlop/status/1802356975998832791?s=46 I think that more villains will appear. Hopefully we'll hear more soon!

  • As someone who's reflecting on life, (while being prune to depression), this track always puts me into reflection. Not happy, not sad. It's simple, and great to listen to when studying. I wish it was talked about more. One of my Barry favorites.
  • A few viewpoints on James Bond literary and cinematic, past, present and future. They are great Bond adventures. Quite a few of the continuation novel authors are active on social media. Raymond Benson, Jeffery Deaver Anthony Horowitz and Kim She…
