  • Johnny Angel George Raft in one of his better sub Bogart adventures the plot is intriguing enough, and moves along, but is let down by the dialogue, which is largely flat and lifeless, rather like Raft's performance, which once again fails to live …
  • James Bond is a racially distinct character. He is white and British. Anything different than that, and it is no longer a James Bond film. Either you create a new character and start up a new franchise, or you forget this incredibly stupid idea of …
  • when I select a thread to view I always get taken to the first page by default, when generally I would rather go the the most recent page, is there a way around that?
  • The USA/UK Alliance is Evident in Bond Films by one great thin - British Accent - Hollywood Dazel. But Which Bong song gets you up and running in the AM? Glady's Knight - License To Kill (1989) Agreed? Bong song? something by Cheech & Cho…
  • Dimi, I am of course against a Black Bond. But I was simply asking why Seve was talking about the problem with (black) American actors, while there are black British actors. I was just wondering if Seve was also against black British actors. bas…
  • oops (where's the delete button?)
  • however I disagree that he made the right choice in not doing any more I think if you can do something well you might as well keep doing it We should, however, consider the man's age. Shooting a Bond film isn't such a comfortable task I think and …
  • Pirates 1 = wonderful Pirates 2 = I liked Bill Nighy's Davy Jones and crew, pity about everything else... Pirates 3 = there aught to be a law against it Barton Fink I quite enjoyed the journey, populated with typically quirky Cohen characters, but …
  • @Seve How about a black British actor, not a black American actor ? Ali G?
  • maybe you should have stopped after the first one too? Some Girls Do Richard Johnson is back in the sequel to "Deadlier Than The Male" on the plus side the music is stronger, the villains lair is more spectacular and Johnston is still playing it ad…
  • and so we see that there is no point in trying to dictate how people should use a thread, they'll either use it in the way that gives them what they need from it, or not use it at all...
  • a black Bond? it will never happen however leaving aside the whole physical appearance issue, which is obvious or the accent, which could be overlooked, provided it was an "Ivy League" American accent, rather than a strong regional variant I think …
  • This, and his age, convince me that Campbell made the correct choice. Plus, why risk a disappointing third film when you can stick to two masterfully made films (IMHO of course)? count me as a Campbellist too however I disagree that he made the …
  • JCVD JCVD was an action star of the 90s, who never quite managed to make it to the very top of the mountain critics were scathing about his acting abilities and he wasn't able to bring the tongue in cheek charm that allowed others, like Arnie and Ro…
  • Will the time ever be fixed? The board has just jumped 24 hours in the past again, and it's not the first time it's happened. (I posted this in the 'user feedback' too). It's ridiculous. Everything happened a day before than reality. Every message I…
  • Deadlier Than The Male I won't insult this film by calling it a "spoof" because IMO it's not generally played for laughs this is a genuine attempt to copy the "Bond formula" and create an action / adventure which contains humour in that sense DTTM h…
  • Quoting BAIN123: I'd consider a rolex stylish. It's certainly something not to be sniffed at. I've certainly never worn one. Have you ever heard the term "going out of style" Styles change, classic does not. No, a Rolex is classic. Classic is …
  • the more I learn the more I realise how little I know I was never much good at science, history is more my thing lately I've been interested to see how religion, philosophy and science have historically been seen as related and overlapping in othe…
  • Quoting Luds: @Seve, slowness could be caused by java which IE is really poor at handling. that sounds credible is there any way I can fix or improve it?
  • in both cases it's Internet Explorer I presume the work one would be a pretty up to date version
  • Yes, I've tried from work as well as from home and it's still really slow
  • I find that this new site is prohibitively slow when I want to move from one page to another, it's equally bad either from work or home computer, why is that? is there any way to speed it up? currently it puts me off coming to the site even though I…
  • Leon aka The Professional (130+ minute version) I watched the shorter version some time ago and it felt like something was missing, in fact a lot was missing The shorter version feels clipped and hurried, the flow of the longer one seems more natura…
  • I wouldn't describe literary Bond as particularly suave myself he's not outgoing enough for that because we are effectively inside his head while reading the books, we are able to get a greater insight into his character than is possible watching a …
  • Quoting nick_007: Welcome aboard! I've only seen Rio ne répond plus so far but it was good fun. @Luds may have something interesting to say about the original OSS117 films, but I guess those aren't classified as spoofs, so perhaps we'll discus…
  • Donovans Reef John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Caesar Romero, Jack Warden - sounds promising directed by John Ford - could be good then a comedy… well, comedy was never Ford's strong suit, but could be ok, in a good natured, ham fisted way instead "inept" is…
  • Dr No, because if he had failed to win the public over on that mission there wouldn't have been any more... ...and TMWTGG as explained above
  • a Steely Dan compilation IMO if Skunk Baxter isn't on guitar then it's not really Steely Dan "I have never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time I have never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time (yes I do) well he looks so fine, up on that…
  • Quoting WillardWhyte: @doubleonothing That was a very well written explanation that offered me some of the answers I have been looking for. Thanks for telling us. I'd like to second that thanks to Luds for soaking up most of the initial flac…
