  • Having watched M:IDRp1 yesterday, I must say, wherever they go with the next Bond, it has to be sexy and stylish. Only Bond can have that sort of appeal. M:I films are wonderful, but the sexiness and the style, and the smoothness, and the exoticism …

  • I’m a Stirling Moss fan. That being said, I think it is healthy to disagree with some things our idols say. Anything else is dogmatic delusion. Besides, Stirling probably meant most people are awful drivers and should stick to automatic vehicles ;)

  • Well, Cruise said to Craig he was a fan, so… who knows?

  • Solitaire, even today, with Jane's current age. 72! Can you believe she's 72? I'd date her.
  • Sure is. And for us sapiophiles it helps that she was really smart. Brain and looks, she had it all.

  • I'm sorry, I know this isn't the place, but Tom Cruise is a formidable actor. And if you haven't watch any of these, I urge you to, having 2000+ movie disks, it won't hurt to add a couple more ;) But, as you put it, I'll kindly leave…
  • So pumped for this!
