  • Here's an idea, and not placed here merely to reconcile differences stated above - sometimes the larger society may have evolved, become more sophisticated, but that may not describe all the players on the world stage. Putin has been around quite a …
  • Wait- WHAT ? Waste of energy ?!!!? That's what we do here, man !
  • Wasn't that her line from IJATKOTCS (good grief that's such an absurdly long title...why not just IJATCS ???) It's bound to be someone's line in the next film, "Indiana Jones and What Happened to Wife Marion and Son Mutt ?" Of course, if I looked a…

  • Graveyard ? Morgue ? Well, not feasible. The answer to the question, as being considered in these last two posts, more accurately would be - all over the place...literally.
  • For such a creative and successful person, Lucas sure can be clueless ! As I noted earlier - if Indy is a person who would do this, IT WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST OR LAST TIME. Pedophiles are repeat offenders ! Those young ladies at the university ? Oh, …

  • Understood, but IF the producers had cared - even acknowledging network leverage in those days - the producers had leverage, too. The Bond series represented a Prime, well-known, multi-picture property so the movie folks had great leverage, too. The…
  • I've never seen anything written about how the Bond Producers in power at that time allowed it to be done ! Maybe they didn't favor it, but didn't they have some control ? It sure made it seem that they didn't care all that much.
  • You've triggered some memories. ABC went for the big opening splash, with GF first. They did not present them in order of Release. Horribly, though, when they showed OHMSS they split it over two nights, and re-edited it. It started mid-film, then ga…
  • FoxRox wrote: » 1. CR 2. OHMSS 3. FRWL 4. SF 4 of my Top 5. I couldn’t really be mad about any ordering of these classics. Well-said ! They each are quite good !
  • I was focused on that list of actresses adored. By the way, I'd also add Eartha Kitt (roowrr !) and Lee Meriwether, as well. Were the film and TV productions in which they were involved brilliant ? Mmmmmaybe not -- but the actresses ! And there's mo…

  • As for your adoration list, I'm right there with you, but since you're naming actresses and not films - I, for one, DEFINITELY would include Halle Berry ! The film was awful, with a very poor script, for beginners, but she's still Halle Berry !

  • Well, he HAD been shot, so wouldn't he be more likely to take pain meds ? Oh, yeah, he was drinking like a fish. Not a great combo, so, yeah, he's drug-daring. Also, oh yeah, Double-Os don't have a long life expectancy...He was living in rustic sty…
  • ...what ? are you going to say Dolly does not have braces ?
  • Hmmm...had the watch exploded near Blofeld's waist might he have been equipped with other bionic orbs by the time of NTTD ? oy...awful, right ?

  • Yes, verrrry loose. After Moore's term, for one thing, it no longer was feasible that the Bond on screen served in WWII. For that reason and a few others I think one could suggest that the original "loose continuity" terminated after Moore's films. …
  • Hmmm....I had thought that only Bond films get the Initials-Only identification scheme at MI6community.com. For example, not FIB, but Funeral In Berlin. This matters more acutely where the initials of a non-Bond film would match the initials of a Bo…
