I side with those who can wait to see it in the theater. I just found out that some theaters in my area are already open (I hadn't checked all year since no other film piqued my interest). I agree with those who believe Bond films will always be m…

I don't know if you've seen this interview with the lovely Barbara Carrera, who also has a charming accent (she was born in Nicaragua). I just watched it and enjoyed hearing her talk about her acting in NSNA, one of her scenes in particular, and wo…

Last album I listened to, last night, was Prince 1999. It's easy to hear he was either experimenting heavily with, or capitalizing on, synthesizers and drum machines. I imagined this was a phase he was going through, as the album differs from earl…

My most recent Bond watching was OP, a few days ago, and it resulted in OP moving ahead of FYEO, my sentimental favorite for almost forever, in my Bond rankings. I think the reasons were mainly that I noticed a lot more action in OP, good pacing, a…

@Thunderfinger and @mtm, good going on mentioning Fleming's writing about Bond and cars! and right you are. From Casino Royale, Chapter 5: "Bond’s car was his only personal hobby. One of the last of the 4½-litre Bentleys with the supercharger by…

I just saw this really good article on the title sequences. https://www.artofthetitle.com/feature/james-bond-50-years-of-main-title-design/

I never noticed those prints before--too busy looking at Sylvia Trench's legs, Bond, and their interaction, noticing their chemistry. But yeah the prints seem out of place/out of date. If Bond had prints of autos, I'd think they'd be more modern a…

You guys have been posting good music! and introducing me to some music I haven't heard before. @Thunderfinger, I especially enjoyed hearing the Siouxsie and the Banshees song again; I was heavily into them several years ago.

I think it was on another thread we were talking about some of Roger Moore's repeated Bond sayings, but another is "Hold tight!" In FYEO he says that to Melina during the car chase, and again later when they're tied up and Kristatos' boat is about …

Here's some interesting info and trivia about Dr. No that I just found online, including info on how Bernard Lee got the job as M, and the painting in Dr. No's lair. It's from an old laserdisc commentary. I was looking online for background info o…

NSNA beats DAF. NSNA has a certain style but in my opinion DAF is a mess. SP beats YOLT, though YOLT is a classic Bond film and still entertaining.

I'm really glad we here in the U.S. are gradually getting back to normal. Just in the last few days, two counties here in the L.A. area have lifted some health orders, saying people don't have to wear masks anymore--thank God--I only wear one when …

Classic Bond finish! The villain points the business end of a gun right at Bond and Bond beats death again with the help of an ally. Then Bond battles through henchmen as he goes up the steps and goes mano a mano with Hans, a good fight that could…

Nice visual, shot, of Tiger and Kissy as they climb to the lip of the volcano and watch as the SPECTRE spacecraft slowly rises into the starry sky.

After Bond goes into the volcano lair, Kissy goes for help and she's spotted swimming in the water. How far does she expect to swim? And Donald Pleasence as Blofeld sounds quite a bit like Robert Shaw as Red Grant.
