  • The resemblances are stunning! :-))

  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: How pathetic. We now live in a world where there are major spoilers for a film in its own trailer. It took you 20 years to notice? SaintMark wrote: I prefer trailers like the Brosnan one in which he shot up t…
  • Ludovico wrote: Darker villains for TLD would have made the film better (not that it was not good, but I mean really better, like maybe classic), but I think it would then have suffered the same fate as OHMSS: audiences would have disliked it at f…

  • Ludovico wrote: My hypothesis about TLD is that they tried to have lighter villains to balance with Dalton's more serious Bond. I agree. TLD was targeted at the same audience as the Moore films, so a villain as dark as Bond would have totally…
  • BeatlesSansEarmuffs wrote: And a salary dispute is a sufficient reason to give for Eon's purposes, it's more than they probably want to give and nowhere near the full story. I was just wondering why noone seems to have discussed this back whe…

  • I seem to remember having read that Moore said he doesn´t like to watch his movies. In fact I´ve read that comment from quite a few actors. Such comments are usually being taken as moderate self-deprecation. Why is it now all of a sudden a confessi…
  • Suivez_ce_parachute wrote: For instance, we were never explained why Sylvia Trench was no longer Bond's girlfriend anymore after DN/FRWL. In Goldfinger, well, she's gone, no one knows what happened to her. It didn't do the franchise much harm it s…
  • Suivez_ce_parachute wrote: Wait, wait, wait, Quantum was not named at all in Casino Royale. Mr White echoes SMERSH's agent in the novel, and even in Fleming's books one can argue that as an antagonist, SMERSH would "turn into" SPECTRE. Eon did not…

  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: They stand alone to a point, but there are areas where one of the films feed into the next. In FRWL for example, the plot sprung on Bond by SPECTRE is both in an effort to get the Lektor and to get revenge for Dr. No's…
  • Sandy wrote: When did Quantum become the be all and end all of Bond villains? I'm one of the biggest defenders of QoS but if I'm not losing any sleep thinking whether Quantum is going to appear or not in a future film, let alone Bond 24. I en…

  • Sandy wrote: :D They didn't know! Moffat told the guy to rip it off the internet like everybody does. I knew it was around the end so went back and found it, from 1h08' onwards. Do watch it if you can, it's very entertaining. Thanks! Found it…
