  • I know little about the Duke of Windsor. He had hoped to see action in WW1 but Kitchener saw to it he was given staff positions while his brother Albert (George VI) actually took part in the naval battle Jutland in 1915... He got caught up in "the …
  • This film, Craig's first just gets better with time. Regardless of how good SF is the first Craig film is an instant classic.
  • I'm sorry but I just cannot drum up enough excitement over the new Star Wars movies. I never say "Force Awakens" and kept putting it off then lost interest altogether. As for "Rogue One" I just don't give a fat rats behind. If that makes me a spoi…
  • DAF of the fights he and the only one that was worthy was the one with Franks in the elevator. Bambi and Thumper was silly, the one with Wint and Kidd looked more like Marx Brothers than Ian Fleming. It was a sorry swan song for the original Bon…

  • I loved the first two Reeve Superman movies (1978, 1981) but the rest are just waste of time. I was excited about Superman Returns in 2006, it had its moments (the idea of Lois having his child) but for the most part it was a disappointment. Far …
  • I fear that Trump will take the next four years and fill the coffers of his many businesses. He is already laying the ground work for business dealings on a global scale and with his children in charge (in name only) he will be richer in four years…
  • This show brings to light some of Phillip's idiosyncrasies. He was a proud man and I hear a stern father. When Prince Edward resigned from the Royal Marines he was called all kinda punk, wimps etc. But one magazine writer pointed out that it took bi…
  • There are shows that have a plan and they adhere to that plan and arc (Babylon 5) and there are shows that just make up as they go along (Lost) I have to say that this new season of Gotham falls in the latter category. I have no idea what the hel…
  • Licence to Thrill by James Chapman published 2000 It talks about the films that may have influenced Bond and the Bond films up to TND it is a good and detailed read. Also covers a lot of detail about the books' plot as well and how the films devi…
  • The Big Bang Theory I could go on and on about how this and many of the CBS sitcoms just aren't funny in the least bit. @Major_Boothroyd you give a good rundown of The Wire (along with Six Feet Under as one of two or three best shows ever prod…

  • Arrival Bored the crap out of me!
  • Jones_The_Bond wrote: » Finished it now. Superb piece of television, and a wonderful slice of the early 1950s. It really brings it home just how long she has been on the throne that she is fretting in this on what she could possibly say to Preside…
  • You know I saw this post yesterday: " I hope you remembered to set your clocks back 60 years" seems like we have these times in history where the country starts to make strives forward then ka-boom some event and they take five steps backwards. …
  • I see Trump replacing those Pentagon generals and admirals with generals and admirals who suck up and vie for political favor. He will take this over competent men. He is used to running board rooms where everyone deferred to him, the Pentagon doesn…
  • We are all in a state of shock. I never thought Trump would ever win until yesterday evening. I saw the big lead and a part of me was in denial but I just knew the improbable was going to happen. The thought of that jackass in the oval office wa…
  • The Seahawks are just getting by on that world class defense. They spent a kings ransom on it while allowing the O-line and the backup QB to suffer. Now they are just wishing and hoping that ragtag bunch can protect their franchise QB. I see them a…
  • I always liked A View to a Kill but the hate this film gets! My goodness. It is so rarely discussed (in a positive light) among Bond fans even though it marked Roger Moore's final film and brought an end to a certain style of films that had begun mo…
  • I liked the scene where Lascelles and a group had Townsend on the carpet and "Tommy" was quick to remind the Group Captain that he was to refer to Margaret with the proper "HRH". Townsend was overly arrogant and he must have felt he was invulnerabl…
  • I was always into the British Royals. I was happy to tune in and watch this superb series to its conclusion this weekend. I agree with the casting of Claire Foy as the young and beautiful Queen. I felt that Lithgow did a good job as Winston Churc…

  • About the divisiveness, I always said that people on the Right should be holding President Obama up as a poster child as to why they love America and why America is so great. Look at where he started. They should be rubbing the Chinese and Putin's …
  • The fact that the country would even consider Trump is what is so appalling. There's nude pictures of his wife for crying out loud. This would disqualify most candidates and no one would accept that as a first lady. Not that there is anything wrong …
  • I worry about Clinton's war hawk ways. I fear that she will give Israel carte blance to ground the Palestinians into the dust. Like the Brits did in Australia, the Spaniards did in Latin America, and the way the Manifest Destiny did in the USA. She…
  • With a week before the election day, Trump has stepped up his critical attacks on Clinton. WTF is up with American politics? No one says, "vote for me because I walk on water" or "I crap bigger than Billy Crystal" Hell no, all they say is "Vote fo…
  • Whenever I mention the term "jump the shark" to my wife she just doesn't get it. A couple of years ago I stopped watching "Scandal". My wife loves that show but one can only take so much Shonda Rimes. I felt the plot had become too unbelievable and…
  • The way Craig, Dalton actually got "hurt" just clinches it for me. The beating he took in CR and SP...the heartache he suffers in CR as well...And Laz losing his bride and his being at the end of his rope trapped at the ice skate rink with Bunt and …
  • I can say that I enjoyed much of the new Season 3. I agree that the Americanization throw me off as well. "Hated in the Nation" was the longest episode at 89 minutes but very good. Great story, good acting and the suspense and the terror of the att…
  • I once read a story once called "Men without Bones". It puts forth a theory that we are actually extra terrestrials and have relegated men to living in the rain forests as a sloth-like blob-like creature that thrives using blob like techniques to h…
