  • Who dubbed it "the first of a new generation of Bond films" ?There wasn`t much wrong with the old generation!
  • Bond has survived for so long because it has moved with the times. I agree with Nic Nac, MW and BB DO know what they are doing, despite some peoples anger towards them around here. For me, QOS was a step to Bourne, but who knows what will come next?…
  • This is a friendly place, can`t knock it. Also, took a look at CBn and I find it real hard to read. You won`t hear complaints about this place from me. Just wish it was a bit busier...suppose it will be once Bond 23 hits the world!
  • I love the cinema, but I do find myself not really fitting in as much these days...... In the old days, you would go to a counter and ask a pretty lady for your popcorn and coke, these days it`s all help yourself, if you dare. Mess of popcorn and sw…
  • Yep, well done Obama! The Navy Seals are simply awesome in the truest sense of the word. Much respect to these brave people. There never was a "bring him back alive" policy, and rightly so. Can you imagine the recriminations against the West, the wo…
  • Well, you`ve just nabbed yourself the coolest forum name! Why didn`t I think of that ???? Welcome aboard to all things Bond! B-)
  • Looks like fun! Key West.........THE place to party! :ar!
  • Me and the wife have just started a Bondathon! We kicked off with Dr No and FRWL, and plan to watch them in order. We both really like Connery, although I think Craig will give him a run for his money in my wifes eyes! The Moore period may prove tou…
  • True Romance probably the high point of Christian Slater's and Patricia Arquette's careers a crime fiction movie with a script by Tarantino and a incredible line up of cameo appearances by people who went on to become more well known than they were …
  • I keep watching and re-watching it too. It's a Bond film after all. Saying I like it less than the rest is like saying I like this kind of champagne less than that. Doesn't mean average diet coke is better. So when it comes to TWINE versus most (!) …
  • Good point. It`s not just Brosnan I like about the film, I think it has many good things going for it. It feels big. The cast is great, and the storyline was very contempory. Submarines, skiing, meglomaniac villains, femme fetales, martinis, and a …
  • January Jones? Average? I think not! :) And what a great name for a Bond girl! Agreed. Fleming would be proud! Heck, any man would be proud! Will be seeing this film, that`s for sure! :X
  • Awesome stuff! Who won????
  • Wow, never realised she was that old. RIP.....x
  • A JB biopic so to speak? ;;) No, I don't see that happen. It might be great fun for most of us but they'll never do that I think. No, they won`t. But it would be a great way of exporing Bonds psyche. I loved that book. How does Bond go on through…
  • I remember liking it a lot more than DAF. Sorry you don`t like TWINE, I`m not bothered by pain faces, the film is to much fun! A great intro too, infact, one of the best in my book! The submarine fight is classic Bond stuff, and I find the characte…
  • Dimi, you know what I`m gonna do tomorrow? Buy NSNA! Havn`t seen it in aroung 10 years! DAD was a poor effort all round, but TWINE I really love. One more Brosnan Bond would have been great. One more Campbell/Brosnan Bond would have been genius! I…
  • Each to their own. Good points about Connery and Moore, I agree. No one has come close to Connery, for me. I`d argue he was the most Fleming Bond too, helped by the fact his films were the closest thing to the books. I`d also argue Lazenby was the g…
  • Well, I`m afraid to dissapoint you DD, but I am a Bond fan, and I like TWINE a lot, DAD a little. There seems to be a prevailing attitude that if you like this era, you are not a Bond, fan, or don`t read Fleming. Wrong. You don't disappoint me, …
  • Absolute legend. Rog has done little wrong ever, in my book, and even when he did, he was right! ;-) More Moore! More Moore! More Moore!
  • Well, I`m afraid to dissapoint you DD, but I am a Bond fan, and I like TWINE a lot, DAD a little. There seems to be a prevailing attitude that if you like this era, you are not a Bond, fan, or don`t read Fleming. Wrong.
  • Only 5 million! Sounds funny! What is the difference in takings between CR and QOS ?
  • Don`t know if this book will entertain me or annoy me......still can`t make my mind up about Devil May Care.....(I think it was poor....) So hungry for new Bond, probably will give it a go.
  • I think Cubby was uncomfortable with the fact that Brosnan would be playing another detective in Remmington Steele, that is the reason he was not "worked around". The fact remains, Brosnans Bond proved to be more popular, and ultimately, more succes…
  • Morning 006, welcome aboard! Make yourself at home, please, I`ll get the beer. :ar!
  • It is ofcourse possible, that had Dalton made a third Bond, audience figures may have gotten even smaller, and the studio pulls the plug on Bond, and we don`t have a fan forum!
  • Well, with this logic, you could say if Cubby had his way, Connery would have stayed on for a lot more Bonds! The fact is, Cubby wanted Brosnan for a long time, and despite what some think, Brosnan was a risky choice, as his career in film was hardl…
  • No, there is nothing nerdy about Bond, but I would say there certainly is about some fans! Myself included, before you have a sense of humour failiure. ;))
  • Let's just say from what I've seen in the trailer Brosnan's acting is way off the radar. However, as I don't want to turn this topic into another 'bash-the-brozzer' spam feast, I will refrain from further comments on the issue (for now. ;;) ). You s…
  • Okay, so we have a few martini fans here. Ever feel Bondish drinking them?? A good bartender WILL hate to shake it, it waters it down to much, as the ice chips into the alcohol, taking away the pure taste.... Olive or a twist?
