  • I thought you might be referring to those 'bucket & spade' days from the start of OHMSS. But Bond swiftly closes the door on these 'mawkish memories'. There's no defending Gardner having Bond utter a speech gushing about Disneyland and you kn…

  • A collectors item here for all MGW cameo fans. I was just watching The Program (the film about Lance Armstrong's downfall) and who should pop up as the doctor who tells Lance he has stage 3 testicular cancer?? I genuinely thought MGW only did a H…
  • bondjames wrote: » RE: your question about why much of the 'new' audience that loved SF didn't come back for SP: In my humble opinion it's because SF had, for lack of a better word, soul. SP did not. It was 'flat' and 'by the numbers'. There was…
  • SP took $199.2m adjusted domestic as compared to $203.1m for QOS and $220.2m for CR so I would agree slightly down in the US (especially if you factor in the IMAX factor) but not so much different to the rest of the Craig films. Look at the Brozz…

  • I've just spent the last half hour watching weight lifting FFS. Why? Is it because I care about weightlifting? No its the sheer human drama that it actually means something to these athletes. All the sacrifices, all the work and its not for money or…
