  • SPECTRE should end up somewhere between $190 and $220 million in the US, judging by the last two films that opened pre-Veterans Day and had Thanksgiving fall on it's 4th weekend. International will probably go past $600 million, but probably not $6…

  • I might be the only one who thinks Newman's scores smoke Arnold's.
    in Thomas Newman (stay/go) Comment by Tubes November 2015
  • It's not if you are British, it's if you can play British. With UK actors playing characters of a variety of nationalities, it's certainly possible for Bond to be played by a non-Brit. After all, we already had Lazenby. As far as Burt, I have a…

  • I'm confused. Did the Brosnan smack talk ever stop here or did it just go on hiatus? Or am I stuck in 2005?

    in What and when was your first experience of 007 ? Comment by Tubes November 2015
  • I remember doing this at the old place. Lets see how much I can remember. GoldenEye 007 came out of the N64 at the end of August 1997. At some point between then and November I first experienced it at my friends house. I remember distinctly de…

  • It's tricky, as the financial issues leading to the 6 year gap between LTK and GE might have still happened had Brosnan taken the role and the 87/89 Bond films been greater successes. Would Brosnan still want to be Bond after 6 years of legal wrang…

    in Worst Lines in All of Bond Comment by Tubes November 2015
  • One could argue that M:I-RN is better than SPECTRE, but not the franchise as a whole. Funny, they both had their post-Cold War thrillers (M:I and GE), their off-the-rails action bonanzas (M:I-2 and DAD) and their lower key returns to form (M:I-3 …
    in Has Mission Impossible surpassed Bond? Comment by Tubes November 2015
  • FYEO had a tight plot, interesting characters, and a dash of Moore humor to round it out. The only part that really feels off is how a jogging Moore catches up to Locque's car A lot of Moore's films are undersold as "jokey" while the good majori…

  • There is only two Bond films that has skiing action, underwater action, gambling, and Bond destroying a supercar. They are FYEO and TWINE.

  • GOLDENEYE Important, but overrated. Note that I didn't say "bad" or even "mediocre", yet it's reputation as a top tier Bond film is somewhat unfounded. Brosnan isn't quite there yet for the role and the film has a weird meandering section after…

  • One moment that stuck out to me is after Bond immolated Sanchez, you can see in the close up that Dalton is close to retching. Lets see any other Bond actor do that.

  • THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS Ageless. Very few Bond films can transcend their time period and this happens to be one of them. Some moments and pieces of tech are very 1980's, but there lack of emphasis allows the film to age gracefully. alton hits the…

  • A VIEW TO A KILL Zorin stands out, as does Mayday. Nothing else really does. The zest and zeal of the previous two films is gone. Awkward humor, bland characters, and a blatant Goldfinger copy with very little spice to the mix. Far from bad, …

  • FOR YOUR EYES ONLY Moore's finest film. Tempers his humor with realism and thrills. Glover and Topol are fascinating to watch. Dynamic action and camera staging, something Bond has lacked for a while at the time. An excellent proto-revival of…

  • FRWL, OHMSS, and MR tied at 26 views apiece. One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong.

  • MOONRAKER Yes, it's silly. It's also stunningly shot and full of thrills. With Michael Lonsdale as the anchor, John Barry producing an underrated score, and Roger Moore being Roger Moore, MOONRAKER can be very entertaining. Just embrace the si…

  • THE SPY WHO LOVED ME The best iteration of the "Bond saves the world" Roald Dahl story. The action is spectacular, the wit is top notch, and Moore is now very comfortable in the Bond role. Jaws is a memorable menace before being neutered in the…

  • The more I think about it, the more I see people underrate the 70's Bond films (bar TSWLM) and overrate the 90's Bond films.

  • DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER Starts strong, but fades away by the end. You could say that for the vast majority of Bond features, but it fits DAF to a tee. It's not the sleaziness or the camp that bothers me. In fact, that's a part of the enjoyment. …
