I think one has to make the distinction between the truth and good PR, @bondjames. None of the producers are/were ever going to come out and publicly state: "Well, we couldn't get such-and -such for the role so we had to go with option C and cast 'w…

Thank you @BT3366. I didn't realise that TNA was picked-up belatedly by CBS and pitched against Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. I do indeed recall how Carson's show was a huge ratings winner back in the day, so it's heartening to hear that TNA did som…

What was the main reason for The New Avengers being cancelled after Season 2? Was it purely down to Brian Clemens being heavily committed to working on his new show The Professionals for LWT, or was there another reason? I thought the show was still…

Oh, I see where you're coming from. No, I'm not referring to "millennials" born between the 1980's to mid 1990's as I feel that that is a misrepresentation of the what it truly means to be born in the new millennium. Yes, I think it's referred to as…

I'm curious to see Danny McBride's Halloween, but can't say that I'm particularly stoked. On another note, has anyone seen The Terror of Hallow's Eve yet? The trailer looked quite promising in a cheap and nasty kinda way.

Great book cover. Looks an interesting read.

And yet, if these rumours are indeed true, which I have my doubts, then why did Vangelis return for Ridley Scott's 1492: Conquest of Paradise in 1992? Surely, if he'd still been pissed with Scott over Bladerunner then he would've declined a further …

Yes, I think TMWTGG goes a lot further than say TND at capturing the old magic of Thailand. It can now be viewed as a bit of a time capsule of sorts. The floating markets are all still there, of course, but much of the city has changed. Same goes fo…

I'm with you on that one @fire_and_ice. I don't doubt that Rian Johnson is a great director and will be a vast improvement over the previous lacklustre outing from J.J., but I can't seem to get over that Adam Driver's character is nothing more than …

The early buzz for Force Awakens was also stellar, so the cynic in me will bide my time and wait until I've watched TLJ for myself. Trouble with these events is that the attendees tend get caught up in some kind of rabid, collective mania and, like …

Of course the subject matter isn't comparable to Bond. I wasn't comparing the subject matter to begin with @boldfinger. Neither are any of Nolan's previous movies comparable to Bond, for that matter. I was trying to discuss present-day casting in ma…

No worries @Dennison. But a word of advise when posting here: contribute something more than just a single retort or pithy response, otherwise it can be taken out of context. I mean, how am I to know whether you are, or not for that matter, just bei…

Totally agree, @Creasy47. I also don't understand how people can vote on a movie when it's still only in post-production or not even been seen by anyone yet. I've noticed some movies have already gotten hugely positive scores and nobody's seen a sin…

What's the point of this thread? Very little of the examples posted here have any relationship or close baring on what constitutes a Bond song? I'm convinced some just want to post something edgy to show everyone that they have an eclectic taste in …
