My new ranking: My criteria: * Acting - First and foremost * Believability - Are they believable in the roles that they're playing? * Character - How convincing and well written their characters are? * Chemistry and relationship with Bond (T…

Lazenby is still alive too, and guess what, he's over 80 and still looking good. Edit: Have you seen what Google did to his bio before? They've made Lazenby dead (they've accidentally put 2023), so a likely mistake from Google, but the guy is sti…

I actually liked Goldfinger, there's the tense, especially in the part where Bond was working as Goldfinger's secretary while writing a request back up letter to CIA, I feel the tension, the thrill of it. It's the book where the parts are greater…

I've explained this before, they're not in a rivalry, but rather in a competition. Holly Goodhead wasn't antagonistic with Bond, it's Bond who had trust issues with her, because again of Chang, that coincidentally wherever Holly Goodhead was ther…

Neither for me. YOLT could only work as a sequel to OHMSS (and since OHMSS was already adapted, there's no way this book could've work again), and considering there's not that much plot in it, I don't see this working, and looking to the modern c…

It depends on their take: At least I've heard the Bond version of Tarantino: He wanted Brosnan to star in 60's version of Casino Royale, in black and white, it would come after the events of OHMSS, he'd also pitched Uma Thurman as Vesper and Sa…

Lois Chiles is the second most beautiful Bond Girl of the Moore Era (that face and hair), after Jane Seymour. And also probably the Best of the Moore Era Bond Girls (the most capable, intelligent, tough, competent, and beautiful). One of my fa…

I really liked Moonraker, I may not be a fan of Moore's Bond, but this is my favorite from his. The characters for me improved upon TSWLM (I don't mind Jaws, for me, Chang is the henchman there, he's underrated), Holly Goodhead, Hugo Drax, and Ma…

For me, I wished the plot of the next Bond film would took place in North Korea again, they've failed in Die Another Day, but I think they could make it this time. Most Bond films tackled Political issues and to the lesser extent, Communism for e…

Why Christopher Wood didn't make a novelization of You Only Live Twice? It's very different from the book, but why he didn't make a novelization of it? Oh, I guess because he's the scriptwriter of both TSWLM and MR, but it would be interesting ha…

TND had probably the best plot concept in the Brosnan Era (using media to create war), very realistic, but it fell short upon execution (yes, still execution, one of the diseases of the Bond Franchise, almost like a cancer, right? 😅 It needs to be t…
