  • Well, if Cubby can be named then I will add Sam Mendes to my list after all. :D
  • Brady, that was beautiful and emotional, thank you. I don't know enough about Desmond to be able to comment, so I won't, but everyone (who knows them) seems to love Javier, Judi, Daniel and Roger. Of course, the first three of them worked together, …
  • The rest of this week: Foreign Correspondent (Hitchcock) Saboteur (Hitchcock) Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - take elements that once worked, add plenty more action, lose charm... *sigh* Jamón Jamón (a Bigas Luna film, with Javie…
  • @Creasy, I'm a bit like that with films, too - it's just worse with books, since each one takes longer than a couple of hours to get through... ;) Anyway, the last couple of days (I'm having a busy week film-wise): Notorious (Hitchcock movie wit…
  • this week so far dvd: Marnie - it had been ages since I saw it and I liked it much more this time around. Better than I remembered. tv: Never Say Never Again - well, it had been ages since I saw that one as well, and it didn't seem any bette…

  • I'd love to see her return. :)
  • @RC7, no, you misunderstood me. I'm not blind or anything, or "above such lust" (above?), geez. But neither am I narrow-minded, and definitely not conservative. I was talking about that one scene, which I happen to find funny, not sexy. There are…
  • ^^ No, not right. And it's not "all women", obviously. But if you refuse to get it, then it can't be helped, I guess. :) Maybe @RC7 knows you better than I do and this is what he meant... :P (And btw, I thought Daniel's Ursula moment was funny, …

  • @thelordflasheart, it's both hilarious and sad that there are still men who think that women would be impressed by powerful cars or the guy's potential to beat up other guys. Specifically mentioning that kind of stuff must rank among the stupidest t…

  • Germanlady wrote: @Tuulia - where do we differ? Oh, just minor details like I said. I don't find Sean attractive (even though I understand where people are coming from), and I don't think Roger looked great as such, though his charm natural…
  • thelordflasheart wrote: If I can add something about women finding Craig attractive... There are two women that I've talked to that don't find Craig attractive. Yes, you read that right - since CR came out I've only spoken to TWO women who don'…
  • @RC7 - I'm not overreacting. :) I wasn't angry with you, just confused, I said I did not think you meant what it read like to me, and I said it wasn't clear to me what you actually meant. Now it is, thank you. I'm sure some people don't want to list…

  • :O I'm "wasting my breath because some people won't consider [my] points or simply don't agree"? Aren't we all then wasting our time here? Why do you post anything? I thought this was a discussion forum, which surely means people exchanging opinion…

  • @Sandy and @Germanlady, we seem to disagree about some details, but ultimately understand each other on the issue, anyway, which is the main thing. :) Also, @Sandy, I agree about Roger being attractive in a charming kind of way, but not in the se…
  • I don't usually go for this listing and ranking stuff, but what the heck, since I'm here now anyway, and it's such an easy choice... CR, QOS, SF.
  • The discussion above about the looks and attractiveness of various Bonds is a bit weird from my point of view. It made me wonder, once again, if many people really feel that looking good and being attractive are the same thing. I've never agreed wit…
  • Eeh, hardly more eloquently, @thelordflasheart, but thanks. :)
  • Very well put, @thelordflasheart. The checklist got repetitive and therefore boring. Seeing Bond and his world develop is fascinating to me. Even little phrases or details are interesting when they're not just thrown in as given. Like this Bond i…
  • I agree, Sluggsy and Brady. In pretty much any job one can't just do whatever the hell one pleases, and certainly not in a job where there can be serious consequences... like when one works at a Secret Service, obviously. While what had happened to …
