  • Probably not. In all likelihood, it has the potential to be TWINE 2.0, which would be an even greater folly. That said, I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

  • echo wrote: I have never understood Octopussy's lines just before Bond kisses her: "I don't have to answer to you. A paid assassin for what I am!" What?!? Shouldn't it be "A paid assassin is what you are"? "A paid assassin for what I am"…
  • Isolated score. More Bond Blu-rays/DVDs should have that.
  • EON had God awful dialogue, courtesy of notorious hack Bruce Feirstein.

  • Amnesia, brainwashing, attempting to kill M etc. Isn't that basically the beginning of Fleming's TMWTGG? As great as it is, it's a little too close to Bourne right now, what with both franchises still going. actonsteve wrote: An Evil double/…
  • CASINO ROYALE, in order to do Fleming's novel justice.
  • I'm glad Quantum was dropped. A dull bunch of Eurotrash villains in suits does not make a threatening organisation.
