  • Quoting Bond: I see that many have been refusing to disclose their religious views in this thread. Is it maybe best that we remove that field from this poll? Some are obviously quite uncomfortable with it. I don't see how it's relevant anyway. Wel…
  • Reading´s what keeps the world turning. I read in the tube out of habit, but also find the occasional consecutive hours spent reading very important. I enjoy very much to tune to certain writers. Dashiell Hammett for example I find a bit tough to r…
  • Monday: Doctor No's tarantula (DN) : 5 Rosa Klebb's poison shoe (FRWL) : 5 Oddjob's hat (GF) : 6 +1 Largo's shark pool and cover (TB) : 5 SPECTRE'S poison string (YOLT) : 5 Blofeld's Angels of Death (OHMSS) : 6 Wint and Kidd's Bombay …
  • Well, Nolan´s stated before that he likes Bond films. So, as long as the focus is on Batman´s potency with the opposite gender and not on his nipples I have no problem with that ;-) .
  • Wow, the CD holds up great in my player so far! I´m surprised, because I didn´t dig most of the songs too much when listening to them on youtube. Although that video clip contest was a stroke of genius. The CD has a vibe that goes beyond mere song q…
  • IMO the best 007 spoofs by far are DAD DAF and to a certain degree, TMWTGG The first two Austin Powers movies were funny at first, but they stand no chance against the above.
  • Well I did some math of my own, but I´m too lazy right now for the flags, forgive me ;-) . Great Britain 17 (took the liberty to include Scotland, was that allright?) Sweden 2 Canada 7 USA 11 Macedonia 1 Australia 2 The Ne…
  • Name : boldfinger Occupation : Osteopath Age : born 1971 Religious views : Noahide Favourite Bond film: Changes form time to time Least favourite Bond film: Never say Never again Favourite actor in the role of Bond: I´d lie if I said I prefer o…
  • I feel good about this site right now, getting used to some features, discovering features the new site offers, and at the same time seeing improvements seemingly every day. Cool! Great work guys!
  • Nolan anyhow has to have one heck of a story to follow up BB and TDK ;-) .
  • Quoting Luds: However, most of the later albums have been "off" somehow. I do like many of their new songs from Dance of Death, Matter of Live and Death, and now Final Frontier. But since Brave New World, their sound is just off. I'm not sure how to…
  • Quoting DaltonCraig007: I must say I have never watched a 3D film with the cheap glasses that kill the brightness. The cinemas where I work at use the more expensive glasses where the loss of light is minimal. But they have the tendency to be heavie…
  • Quoting Luds: Powerslave \m/ \m/ \m/ I feel compelled to join in the reverence. When their last album came out I noticed how much I miss that kind of electricity they had in their sound back then. They should never have sacked Martin Birch.…
  • I think there are several issues here. Waking up one morning and finding that one´s favorite playground has fallen victim to spontaneous combustion is one thing. Losing a database that probably was more than unique is another thing. As for the forme…
  • The only film I enjoyed in 3D was Resident Evil. Avatar wasn´t worth it. In Tron Legacy it even distracted from enjoying the ambience. Well-shot frames stimulate the brain way better than stereo-cameras. Once Hollywood gets the drift that teaching …
  • Vesper´s death was quite impressive, but it doesn´t get near the simplicity of showing the hole in the windscreen followed by the hole in Tracy´s head. And Tracy´s death is of course more tragic because she wasn´t so headwrenchingly complicated. Sur…
  • Quoting DiscoVolante: I wonder what assistance she gave, I mean, Gert Fröbe isn't the voice of Goldfinger (Michael Collins is). Perhaps she assisted in lip sync or something :P I´m actually not sure about Collins. I know it says in many places Fro…
  • Impressive indeed. I´m surprised she didn´t re-voice Gert Frobe too ;-) . So far I only noticed that there´s the same male voice in TND (I forgot where exactly) and in DAD (in Zao´s subconscious German lesson). Distinctive, but minor in comparison …
  • I wish we got to know wtf happened. I won´t cry over many threads that are gone, but the loss of things like the sequencing guide is one thing that starts to get to me. I mean who thinks of saving such list if it´s on the biggest and by far best Bon…
  • Still not sure what to think of the songs, even though the overall vibe is much better than on the last two albums. Guess I´m too fond of the second half of the Cucurullo period ;-) .
  • Actually all of my suggestions have already been posted by others, so no need for me to repeat them, but I would like to add that IMO the old MI6 had the best-looking and eye-friendliest forum layout I ever discovered on the net, and I absolutely do…
  • TMWTGG. First Bond has two schoolgirls save his ass, then they drive off and simply forget him.
  • Thanks Luds and James Page for clearing what you can. Quite a thrill, almost like the MGM situation. I can´t say I like the layout and usability of the new site so far, but I haven´t tried too hard either. Anyway I guess many of the common complain…
  • Considering he re-invented the character anyhow each time and did a more than decent job holding the scripts together, and considering the way he played in Matador, of course he would have convinced in CR and QOS. The action scenes would have been w…
