  • @ DarthDimi I like your comments. I praise you for your knowledge and interest in good ol' true horror films. I saw the original Chinese "the Eye" before the jessica Alba remake. I thought that the remake was okay but to coin a phrase, redun…
  • I will put my two cents in thats about what my opinion is worth these days. But why may I ask fifteen? why not 10, 25, or 3 ? 1.Timothy Dalton 2.Christopher Walken 3. Louis Jourdan 4. Diana Rigg 5. Ilse Steppat 6. Lotte Lenya 7. Robert Sha…

  • Guys we have overlooked the wave of horror films that have been remade from Asian films: The RING THE GRUDGE THE UNINVITED SHUTTER after seeing the American "The Ring" in 2002 I was so scared I never wanted to see the original and compare. I…
  • @haserot I agree the 1983 remake of Scarface was superior to the 1932 with Paul Muni The Fly 1986 is far superior to the fifties original, though I for one always found the 1986 version extremely depressing The Magnificient Seven, though good …

  • Glen's animal scare wasn't just birds: FYEO Birds OP Tiger AVTAK Stacy's cat running down the stairs TLD Monkeys on Gibralta after one of the agents falls to his death LTK Pigeons I don't think Bond was always scared, it w…

  • I guess OHMSS while filming the Piz Gloria sequences. Imagine being stuck up on that mountain with those international beauties?

  • I appreciate you guys updating me on the more recent remakes. Another word about King Kong that 1976 piece of shytt tried to update by using the present energy crises and search for oil. Okay... then they talked about using a 40 foot mechanical …
  • @CommanderRoss You bring up an interesting point. Maybe they began back in the late forties with 001 and as they were killed off they kept adding numbers. Maybe 0011 came in after 0010 and 009 died in the line of duty. Killed while spying on the So…

  • As far as classics go THE SPOILERS has been done in 1914, 1922, 1933, 1942, and 1956 before they finally gave up. BEAU GESTE is another interesting one. done in 1922 (the old commissioner Gordon from TV's Batman played Digby Geste). then 1939(this…
  • "He left with his tails between his legs" from DAF
  • I have no problem with Glen. He did 5 films, EON must have thought he was doing something right. He rescued the franchise after the outrageous MR. As mentioned earlier, four of his films are very good (let me guess the one bad one... ;)) ) His s…

  • I agree with SirHenry DAD has just too many MG's as does most of Brosnan films. By the 1990's MG's were sexy and audiences clammored for them. Bond was just following the current trend. Die Hard (all of them) Terminator (1and 2) Predator 1 Comm…
  • My point: the 00 designation is rare and should be handed out to very very few agents. Not every MI6 field operative is a 00. would have made good sense to say Trevelyn was 008 instead of 006 in GE. I mean that would have been in keeping with the …

  • this conversation should always begin and end with MR Two men, one parachute. That was the greatest. Honorable mentions: OHMSS TSWLM
  • Is this the daughter who starred in "tipping the Lace"? She's good.
  • Lancaster007 OHMSS is my favorite Bond flick. I do not understand the hate that some younger fans give this movie. I was glad to see that after 1990 the movie began to get the love and appreciation it deserved. it has been revisited as one of the a…
  • I did some research years ago and there's only the three. 007 is the more "senior" of the three. The FRWL novel goes into this and I believe (don't quote me) that the other two 008, and 0011 are mentioned in the MR novel. I think the novel TMWTGG …

  • AVTAK Has more going for it. Aside from Christopher Lee, TMWTGG cannot stand up to Zorin, Duran Duran, May Day, Tanya Roberts' legs, Scarpin, Mortmer, Jenny flex...
  • One 007 is enough. Remember 1983? OP versus NSNA? 1967? YOLT and CR?
  • During football season, I post scenes of my favorite football team. Later, I wanted to use Dalton's gunbarrell but it was denied (copyright limitations) so I just used a generic windows picture from my computer.
  • Bond 5 For his first time out, Connery hit the field running Women 4 The ladies are all hot. From Ursula to Freelance. a good beginning Villains 5 Despite little screen time Wiseman gets high marks. he set a standard for what was to come…
  • Prometheus 3 stars out of 5
  • @theWizardOflce I for one never felt Laz failed. He just blew it by walking away from an opportunity that many actors who are still waiting tables would jump at. He turned in a good performance and his film is a classic, he should have gone on. …

  • DAF was botched. It was as if EON was trying to forget that the events of OHMSS ever took place. I mean come on. Bond loses the love of his life and the murderer never was brought to justice. Bunt never got her just deserts. I agree she was creepy.…
  • Brosnan was such a "people's choice" that maybe the production team felt they could just "phone it in". Hence the crappy casting of Bond girls, lousy title songs, horrible writing, etc... Despite the fact that I , Getafix and others constantly sla…
