  • One week ago I had never seen an MCU film. Tell a lie - I had seen two thirds of Ant Man on TV. Having been a big fan of Marvel comics as a kid I decided the time was right to get stuck in. But I can’t watch the odd one, I have to see them all. S…

  • Anyone fancy updating the list from page 6?

  • There tends to be a misconception outside of Bond fans that OHMSS was a flop ( it was the second highest grossing film of that year) & that Lazenby’s voice was dubbed throughout. I agree about Connery ‘s shh pronunciation of ‘s’. Nowhere to b…
  • Bond, Vesper,M, Leiter, Mathis, Valenka, White, Dimitrios, Solange, Mollaka, Villiers, the African terrorist chap, Carlos, even Mendel has a bigger role than Estrella.
  • None of them will be as small as Estrella's role. Look at Casino Royale and there are more than 13 roles of significance. Go back in time and check out something like Licence To Kill. You can take on a large cast without cutting them down to one li…

  • Many congratulations @RogueAgent.
  • Eon's main priority plot-wise is probably to avoid being overly political. They don't want to upset anyone which may effect their box office takings. I guess it's why Bond's enemies tend to have no allegiances to any obvious world power . Rega…
  • Back in 1987 when Dalton had just started filming TLD the press began to write about how difficult he was and how he was already going to get the heave ho. I remember being very worried. There was nowhere to voice concern so I quietly lay awake at …
  • That's why I'll win the gold medal.

  • This is the most disjointed of Bondathons. My only aim is to get it done between my last birthday and my next birthday in September. Pretty pathetic really. Pulled in Godfinger at the weekend which is never anything short of an absolute delight. …
