  • Whew. Just read the last 42 pages, and am happy that my contributions haven't been offered yet. 1) Donald Pleasence was the worst Blofeld. Telly was great, Charles was enjoyably camp, and Christoph was appropriately sinister. The guy whose fac…

  • One point that I think has been missed in these titles is what I think is an additional homage to OHMSS. That big awkward homoerotic shot of shirtless Craig getting groped reminded me of something... http://thejamesbondsocialmediaproject.com/wp-c…

  • I'm not sure who I'd want to take over for BB and MGW. But I do think things have been a bit weird for a while. I love all four Craig films (they're all in my top ten), but taken together, it's a weird era. They reboot with CR, then decided to reboo…
  • This might be a boring or weird one, but it finally occurred to me, after seeing the film dozens of times, that Timothy Dalton misreads a line in Licence to Kill. Bear with me, as this might be boring or nitpicky. :-D In the pre-titles sequenc…

  • Yeah, it really is bad luck. I mean, that six year gap, which was unheard of at the time...Pierce really had a heavier burden than some other actors had. Roger took over from Sean-George-Sean chaos, and Tim took over from everybody-knows-Roger's-too…
  • Hi there. New user. Felt my inner Bond monologues needed an outlet, so here I am. Bond nut since 1995, love all the Bonds, but Dalton's my favorite, and the Pierce movies are--well, they're not being upgraded to blu ray. Love the Fleming novels a…

  • First post! 1. Timothy Dalton Great actor in general, absolutely the closest thing to Fleming's Bond onscreen. I love his humanity in his personal interactions with people he cares about, like Kara, Felix, Della, and Sharkey, an aspect often ove…
