No offence, @ClarkDevlin, but you didn't mention or acknowledge his musical supervisor at all, which was the reason why I brought it up. Most people here believe Tarantino chooses all the music himself for his movies. I'm just pointing out a colleag…

You're quite right about Keanu Reeves, @Tuulia. I always see him as half English and half Hawaiian with a Canadian passport, certainly not Lebanese. Then again Vivien Leigh, George Orwell and Joanna Lumley were all born in India, but that doesn't ma…

I'm assuming you're quite young, @Szonana, however Craig is not. How many Bonds does Craig seriously have left in him before the public start to think he's getting way too old for Bond? People are already calling into question the age gap between hi…

That's correct, @ClarkDevlin. And even Moore had to have elocution lessons to get rid of his Sowf Lunden accent, as he originally sounded like Michael Caine.

If I was in charge I'd do away with the Bond 25 title heads and have a proper title and story already in place by the end of each Bond production and use it as a signing off tag in place of the dreary James Bond Will Return tags. In fact, I'd go so …

Yes, it looks beautifully lensed. But I think we might be witnessing a modern phenomenon in cinema for the new millennium where the trailers are all infinitely better than the final product. I'm also not sure whether Miss Poutyface is going to gr…

When I met Dan, coincidentally when he was filming Lara Croft, he was living in his own pad in Kensal Rise. I believe it was only a one bed apartment which he has since passed on to his daughter. I doubt there's much truth in the "park bench" story,…

Another article has surfaced that claims Hiddleston is out of the running to be the next James Bond, according to spy thriller writer Frederick Forsyth. Now 77-year-old Forsyth, author of best-selling spy novel The Day Of The Jackal, claims that an …

It's said by many that Bond movies are only as good as his villains, and this maybe true. But for me a classic 007 movie is when Bond relies on his wits rather than the overused Q Branch. It seems that the writers seem to lose sight of the fact that…

I agree with you, @ClarkDevlin, especially on Fiennes not living up to my own expectations, too. Your points about MI6 home team reflect my own also. I just want to see Bond on a solo mission sans surveillance tracking and centre it on a good story …

There's not much of the simple traditions in the revamped Bond, @TR007, Tanner only made his one and only appearance in Moore's FYEO, only to return in GE played by a completely different actor. Traditionally it was just M and Moneypenny making a sm…

If there is a new actor playing 007 I wouldn't be opposed to recasting the entire team again, and making M a Vice Admiral like the original series. I'd also like to see the surveillance screens and tracking nonessential devices jettisoned, strip it …

Firstly, I loved the first Bourne movie, the sequels less so due to the camera strapped to the back of a donkey's arse. Sadly, Jason Bourne The Return is just reheated slop served up much like the Force Awakens as a new adventure but really just a p…

He said it himself therefore it must be true. Yes, you're right, everything anyone says must be 100% undisputed fact, despite there having been no mention of Dalton before the early 80s in the role, not once, anywhere. Also, why would Dalton turn do…
-
There's no proof of that event ever having occurred, @tanaka123. Also, Cubby was not the sole producer then, Saltzman would never have gone with a young Dalton. I don't believe it in the slightest. Also, Roger Moore was contractually tied to Lew Gra…
-
As everyone else has pointed out, Dalton was way too young for the role of Bond. I never believed for one second that Dalton was considered for 007 back in the late 60s for OHMSS. It was just a bit of PR spin cooked up by the showman Cubby when Dalt…

I quite enjoyed Beyond, thought it was much better than Darkness. The majority of the movie carried the same tone as TOS and I must say I think Pine makes a great Captain T Kirk. The climax falls it a bit flat and messy with the reveal and zero grav…

I disagree that it's the "most flawed" Bond caper, especially when we've had the likes of TMWTGG, MR, FYEO, OP, AVTAK, to some degree LTK, and the whole Brosnan era that followed ending in the worst entry of the whole series - DAD. To a certain degr…

I'm not so sure about that, @bondjames. David Niven's family lost their huge wealth when he was a young boy and found life very difficult, especially as their own kind turned their backs on their unfortunate plight. This was why Niven had to abandon…
