I never saw King Solomon's Mines! Jerry Goldsmith? Sharon Stone? How did I miss this???

To get back to the original question, stand alone. Look at the convoluted mess Craig's era ended in. CR into QOS (I actually liked that), then SF into SP (although I personally actually enjoyed the mess that was SP) into NTTD (in which there was in…

The one negative criticism I have for this film is that other than the opening set-up it's not as much sheer mindless fun as the others. It has many serious moments, some sad ones, and there are quite a few deaths. Benny wrote: » Before everyth…

I very much liked that chap Aaron T-J in Avengers Age Of Ultron, although he looked a bit young there (not a problem now). If he really is the next Bond, I'm happy. But whomever they pick and whatever they do I have faith it'll be good. After the n…

Henry, like Pierce before him, is my choice. Oh well, I lucked out once. The new guy will do well, I guess.

Quicksilver will be Bond. I wanted Henry, but I can live with this.
