  in James Bond as a serial killer? Comment by Troy December 2012
• I suggest you do some research on Nikolai Khokhlov, who was a KGB assassin and rumoured to have helped inspire Fleming.

  in Just taking the Aston out for a spin, Q. Comment by Troy November 2012
• Just a shame that it wasn't Connery's last film instead of DAF. That would have made an awesome story arc - especially if he had been in car with Tracy when Blofeld shot at them, and the film had been ambiguous as to whether or not he had lived or d…

  in OHMSS a seemingly very popular film with fans but why? Comment by Troy November 2012
• I agree that its a great film, with strong story, good action (without the stupid A-Team, style shoot outs that became popular in LTK and the Brosnan films), and superb music. Having said that, I find it a curious film. After losing the iconic Co…

  in OHMSS a seemingly very popular film with fans but why? Comment by Troy November 2012
• I would like to nominate Get Carter, wonderful bleak haunting soundtrack. The spaghetti westerns must be the series with the best ever soundtracks, after Bond. WW2 RAF sixties had pretty good music - eg Battle of Britain, 633 Squadron etc. …

  in The Arc of Craig's Films (SPOILERS) Comment by Troy November 2012
• DB5 wrote: The three Craig films are not "prequels" to anything. "Casino Royale" was a reboot, similar to "Batman Begins." In a reboot, we are supposed to simply disregard the previous twenty fims, pretend that they don't exist. As for Judi Denc…

  in Skyfall Questions (Spoilers) Comment by Troy October 2012
• I wonder how much of the dislike is due to the politics of the film (focussing on environmental issues) and the implicit criticism of US foreign policy, rather than the film itself

  in WHY QUANTUM OF SOLACE IS DISLIKED SO MUCH? Comment by Troy October 2012
• Hmm. Interesting range of comments here - from the sane to the extreme. This is clearly a topic too complex to be discussed here, but I would like to leave one thought. There has been a lot of talk about Muslim aggression, but if you go back 1 ye…
