Even with Dalton doing a Third Bond film, I think @peter once said this that the critics and people are not kind to his Bond portrayal, as he's not that relatable enough and he stripped the fun off from Bond that people came to love, had he continue…

Listened to OHMSS Soundtracks, I think the Synthesizers sound are quite weird, as a whole, it's still great, because there are some cues in it which are really great, but there are some angles where the Synthesizer sounds was just odd, I think the s…

According to the sources I've read years ago, Elektra's disfigured ear could be lifted from Nena Blofeld's disfigured breast in Gardner's continuation novels. I don't think IFP and EON had any deals or agreements made regarding to this, as IFP se…

I get it now, maybe because as the actor in the role progresses, he ages, and so his demands, and the film (along with the actors themselves) needs to get on with the changing times: 1. DAF was made at the height of dark comedies of 1970s, but th…

The trilogies always works the best in the continuation authors: Gardner with his last three (the ones with Flicka Von Grusse: Never Send Flowers, SeaFire and COLD), maybe, Role Of Honour, I've enjoyed that one. Benson, the same with The Union Tr…

I think NTTD got close to this, it's the one where they have a final closure for a Bond actor's tenure and garnered critical success and huge box office. But again, at the time of NTTD, the Bond series is already a legend of a franchise that alre…

With the suggestions, I think it all depends on the plot, there are many beautiful locations, but it could be on how a plot works upon a particular location. Bhutan is interesting, so is Malaysia, or any other countries here, but the question is,…

Actually, you could include TWINE in the romance section. Well, the romance bit was overplayed too much in SP and NTTD, it's time to give that a rest, the thing with romance in the last two films are a rehash of the Classic Bond romances (the tra…

If Bond remained the same guy over and over again, the people would be bored of the series, actually, I'm starting to see it now in the likes of Twitter and Facebook when it comes to the discussions of 'Most Overrated Film Franchises' and Bond tend …

Probably a controversial question, more than an opinion, but is it sexist that yes, they're scrutinizing a Bond actor and the Bond villain actor for acting skills, yet when it comes to Bond Girls, they tend to make it a pass because it's just about …

To be honest, there's nothing to be changed in the franchise, we just let them stay as it is. Lazenby wouldn't really worked in LALD, the script was very much fitted for Roger Moore, probably the script would've been different had he stuck around…
