  • I supposed it would present too much distracting humor - and confusion for those seeking some deeper meaning - were the gantry to have a name painted on, as with airplanes and boats. The name ? Elmer, of course. As for assassins on gantries, they'd…

  • Apologies if there be a more appropriate thread for this post... I cannot help but notice that the name chosen for the little young lady is the same - but for variations in spelling - as the Natalie Portman character in Leon: The Professional, i…

  • I think the following is true for many others who have written Answer Posts, above: sometimes, one's favorite Bond, or most re-watchable Bond - not necessarily the same thing - has something to do with where the VIEWER was in their life when first t…

  • Fassbender nearly 4 1/2 years younger than Elba. Fassbender was born 4-2-77 whereas Elba was born 9-6-72. Elba does not show his age much at all, though.
