Yes, I agree. Bentleys are improving, but there is still a whiff of Premier League Footballer about them. But with Astons going downhill (looking more like something Toyota would make) maybe Bentley will become the better choice.

Interesting. Never thought of it in that way.

As Connery hated the YOLT direction, having him onboard would definitely kept it as per the book As for Bond and Blofeld recognising each other, didn’t the book say that Blofeld had had plastic surgery? And, of course, Bond had a cunning disguis…

Got to agree that Dr No and Dent as the coldest kill, as many of the other nominations come at the end of some form of action or fight, where Bond’s blood would have been up. I would like to give a nod to TND’s Brosnan’s execution of Dr Kaufman

I remember an old interview with someone from EON, saying in the 1960s EON had problems with US censors complaining about too much sex, and British censors complaining about too much violence. And they said one of the reasons behind Connery’s quips…

Too graphic for the films…especially in our puritan 21st century

Shocking. Thunderball is eminently re-watchable, watching prime Connery in the Caribbean, killling and seducing in classic Bond style And QoS most watchable? Really?
-
This is getting interesting, from a philosophical pov. I’m interested when you say that it’s offensive because it portrays that women as ‘weaker’. Women are physically weaker. So can you explain what you mean? As for violence against men, s…

Bond slapping women was using minimum force and designed to shock rather than injure, and far lighter than the violence against men e.g. Dent 1960s Bond slapping a woman’s arse was acceptable in those days, and far more preferable to, for example…

No, sorry, but I’m not sold on this. Watching men beating up women is distasteful for me, and not entertaining. And implausible - which is why men don’t box women. And, as we have had male henchmen being gratuitously beaten up and killed for …

You are all wrong. Thunderball is the most serious. It is the film where I most believe that Bond is on a mission to save the world from nuclear Armageddon. There is a real sense of urgency, where Bond knows he needs to pull his finger out. Con…

Maybe it’s a generational thing, but I just find violence against women to be distasteful. And, yes, Wai Lin may be a match for most men, but not men at top level. That’s why women and men don’t compete together in contact sports

I saw it for the second time last week, and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it - despite knowing the plot. Can imagine it will withstand many repeat viewings, and become a classic. Staple for Christmas TV for decades to come

No, this can’t work. Unless you think James Bond is a code name. The new Bond film will e set in the eternal present, but move back in his lifetime - before 007 dies. Therefore, Mathilde will not exist

My memory may be hazy, but didn’t they say they brought the mission forward so they could bomb before the radioactive material was delivered
