I like this way of seeing the series. AVTAK doesn't really run from Rog's age, none of his later films really do. I read somewhere—blog I think, maybe a forum post—the very good observation that Rog's final films each kind of had an absent/dead f…

@DarthDimi So glad to see someone else on here who watches (and enjoys) the show. I think I once looked for and failed to find an AD thread. You're in for a real treat with S2 and S3. The writing is absolutely brilliant. S5 is out later this m…

"Cost a lot of money" Where do we think this leaves the small budget speculation, then? Is this a case of the film being a lot of money for Boyle but not Bond? A throwaway comment to get a small laugh from the students? Is Boyle's idea one which …

Good points in the last page or so re: the direction promised by CR/QOS and where we've ended up at present. I do like SF, but I agree they should've continued on the track laid by Craig's first two entries. The thing most interesting to me is wh…

Got a bit behind checking in, so updating in brief here at the halfway point. Skip to the end for ranking so far. TLD THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS is a mini-reconfiguration of the series that doesn't really miss Pierce Brosnan despite his last-second …

Basically just an older Connery returning to Bond for DAF->NSNA. FRWL's placement is the problem. I ought to find it a better slot. I definitely want to do TB -> SP, which means if I put NSNA near TB as seems logical then as it is now I'd go D…

No, not really. TLD is next. I expect it and LTK to sink for a while. I've got GE, OP, and GF under my belt awaiting my typing up comments. After that it won't be long till DAD. SP and TWINE come toward the end. If I can get a copy of the film in ti…

LTK For once John Glen manages to completely submit Bond into the service of a John Glen movie. Usually it's the other way around. In LICENCE TO KILL Glen delivers what is perhaps his best Glen movie but his worst Bond film, a generic late-80s ac…

No one has mentioned the parrot giving Bond the crucial bit of plot info? Surely they could've come up with a way for Bond to intelligently figure out the location. It's almost a sitcom plot maneuver. bondjames wrote: » I've been reasonably qui…

Yes, that might be the case for me as well. We'll see. I want to be careful, because one of the goals for me this rewatch is to pre-judge the films the least possible amount, sort of get back to seeing them the way I did on a first watch. CR has the…

DN Hard to know what to say. A lot has happened since DR. NO, not least of which is DR. NO itself. Twenty-three Bond films later, seeing DN as it must have been seen back in 1962, as something other than the first Bond film, is nearly impossible.…

I remember hearing a while back that a Hey Arnold! movie was in development (alongside a Rocko's Modern Life one I think?) but I hadn't realized it was released. Good review, @mattjoes. I will be looking into it!
