  • #4 for me, one of the best PTS in there, yes, folks, I'm the one whom @GoldenGun mentioned that puts it in the 4th place. It's almost like a mini film in itself with building up the mystery, I think it could also worked for an introduction of the…

  • It's time for another ranking, again. Top Five: 1. Tracy Di Vicenzo 2. Pam Bouvier 3. Wai Lin 4. Holly Goodhead 5. Natalya Simonova Top Ten: 6. Camille Montes 7. Pussy Galore 8. Tatiana Romanova 9. Vesper Lynd 10. Domino Derval Mi…
  • NTTD is the TWINE of the Craig Era, attempting to do some unique, yet risky things, but ended up as average. Inconsistent tone, unstable acting from the casts, plot contrivances and plot holes, I could go on and on. The problems of NTTD were a…
