  • That US Fire outbreak is quite alarming, just saying.....It literally swept off nearly an entire community.
  • If my memory serves, Daniel once said that when he read Casino Royale, and found out about Bond's smoking habits (smoking 70 cigarettes a day) he can't do it 😁 (despite of him smoking in his earlier films before landing the Bond role where he had li…
  • Unless that actor have already played an iconic role before Bond: Marvel and DCU comes to mind, so aside from Bond, he would be associated with his respective superhero role. But I doubt EON would go down that route, certainly not those actors wh…

  • Would rather go to Austria, it's also best visited in Christmas with snows, lights, markets, and beautiful views. Seems, Christmas is near, I would visit Austria. Don't worry, I would reserve Thailand for Summer in 2025.

  • From a female perspective, would go with Honey, because I think she's nice and interesting to hang out with, she could've given me some facts about wildlife and what to do in beach, and of course having fun hunting shells with her.

  • The classic films have been remade several times, we have AVTAK based on GF, we have TWINE/SP/NTTD based on OHMSS, even LTK was a remake of LALD in some angles. I don't want to see another GF again, let alone I want to see another remake of OHMSS…

  • Eva Green, in acting department, seemed fine, I have no problem with nationality, many Bond Girls' nationalities had been played by wrong actresses (we could take Carole Bouquet here, she didn't convinced me as a Greek one, let alone with a British …

  • It doesn't need to be another version of Elliot Carver, more like a beloved public figure with a hidden agenda with possibly, a tendency of making himself out to be a victim to turn the tables against Bond (no villains in the series have done this k…
  • I'm back! Anyway, got an idea for a Bond plot, I know this may remind of a film, but anyway..... Just thought of it, a high profile, beloved celebrity (name anyone you liked who could fit that image, could be an actor, a musician or any personali…
  • Anyone here failed to mention Daniel Craig and Vladimir Putin......😁 But okay here are my serious contenders: 1. Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis looks very much like Timothee Chalamet. 2. Honorable Mention to Simon Le Bon (particularly when he's y…
  • Pierce Brosnan goes AWOL as an elderly soldier aims to be remembered before time runs out in The Last Rifleman trailer https://www.joblo.com/the-last-rifleman-trailer/ Man, I don't know how I will react to Pierce's look in this, like he's no…

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Felix Leiter meant only to be Bond's contact whenever he goes to America, so he would only team up with Bond if his mission is in America, that's why Bond have some contacts in different countries: Pinder in TB, Tiger…

  • I think it would be a refreshing take to have a Bond Girl who has a sense of humor, typical like that of Paloma, the majority of the Bond Girls tend to be serious, Paloma is a breathe of fresh air in which she's a colorful character, very lively, co…

  • Interesting character picks for Dame Maggie Smith, yes, she could've been interesting in those roles you all mentioned here, although I think Judi Dench was great in the role, but I can't also help but to see her there too, and yes, I agree with May…
  • Would you rather retain the same old Bond formula of Bond as a Knight in a Kingdom to save a Maiden against the dragon like the classic films or Complex Formula along the likes of Goldfinger, Dalton films, TWINE, DAD, and Craig Films? This is for th…
