  • Amazon would not likely to do it, just my feeling, if anything, I'm afraid to say this but they would do anything to make this James Bond of theirs different from the EON Bonds, they would make sure of that, granted, the trademarks of what makes Bon…
  • I think the problem of TLD is the same problem as with most of the Bond films with dual villains (OP, QoS, TWINE, and to the lesser extent, NTTD). Especially this: AnotherZorinStooge wrote: » peter wrote: » Ludovico wrote: » Mendes…

  • I'm looking forward on knowing the other characters, I'm wondering who would be the Bond Girl for this? Or the Bond villain? The visuals are really good for me so far, excited for it.
  • NSNA, Connery even though he was old in the film, was still convincing in action and in everything he did as Bond, and if looking at Moore in AVTAK, Connery in NSNA looked a bit younger in comparison, Moore in AVTAK just became plain laughable and s…

  • Neither of these I liked, but going with OP, I can tolerate it than TMWTGG 😅.

  • TWINE used to be my most go to watch Brosnan Bond film, but as time goes by, it gets lesser and lesser for me in terms of rewatchability, at the beginning, it's interesting, but I've noticed the slow pacing of the film in subsequent watches, I've ju…
  • Here's the thing..... I'm actually conflicted towards the Brosnan Era because in the beginning, it's okay, and TWINE happened to be my most re-watchable of his films (not my favorite, only my go to watch when it comes to his tenure), but as time …
  • Even the most serious films have still light-hearted moments in them (mostly in dialogues or some little and subtle moments), but again, it doesn't need to go back to the Roger Moore Era route, just the right balance, or dare I say it, realistic (re…
  • My idea for the next Bond film, the characters were unnamed though, and I didn't put any actor as Bond. Pre Title Sequence: Create a mystery: It would start a chase scene in Columbia, between a two motorcycle riders (one happened to be a Double …
  • I've just noticed that maybe it's only me but this scene with M and Bond in Casino Royale looked like the whole background was green screen (it's obvious in close up which was done in this clip while Judi Dench/M was moving), not a real location? Ju…
  • I think of FYEO as more of a low key European Soap Opera TV series.
