  • Just watched Dark Date for first time. Really wish I hadn't. The end.

  • From a dramatic acting POV I can see that The Hill or The offence or The Anderson Tapes are perhaps among his better performances. However for me his most out and out enjoyable performance was as Henry Jones. He was absolutely terrific in that film…
  • Often firsts in long running series are a bit stuttering, finding their feet and work as more of a couriosity in the long run. Dr No on the other hand is still hugely enjoyable and so many of the things we love were right there. The things we still…

  • Just watching some old interviews of Sir Sean on various chat shows. Two you must watch are an appearance on Micheal Parkinson's show (he's a UK chat show host) and David Letterman from 1993 and 2000. They are on YouTube. It's amazing just how jov…

  • Phillip Seymour Hoffman, I'd have loved him as a Bond baddie. His character in MI3 was a proper nasty bastard, really well played, if it was written as well in a Bond film he'd have been a classic.

  • I really like QoS and over the years have got to point where the frenetic editing doesn't bother me like it once did. In fact the editing in the car chase and the fight with Mitchell works quite well in allowing us to apprentice the confusion and d…
  • Right ok, here goes. 1- Bond saying "here let me help you" to Tibbett and only taking a brolly. Very funny gag. 2- Tibbett's death in Cubby's Rolls. Very macabre. 3- The Goldengate bridge fight. The combo of large scale miniature, back projection…
  • What a great job that would be, it really would. Even to just be part of the team that puts a Bond cast together would be a fantastic thing to be involved in.
  • I will though, in the spirit of this thread which I am really enjoying offer a proper top 5. Even my least favourite Bond film will have something if I think about it properly...

  • I personally think that Henry Cavill being Superman has done him no favours in terms of his leading man potential as Bond. At least certainly not in the way the portrayal was written and therefore acted out. In terms of him being able to display his…

  • DAF is below DAD in my ranking. (I realise that comment risks my opinion becoming irrelevant 8-} ) There is just something about this film that annoys me and I can never quite put my finger on it. It can't be the silliness because I like the most…
  • I've been enjoying something of a Bondathon this last few months to enjoy the build up to whenever we see NTTD. The last one I watched was Thunderball having not watched it for about 3 years or so. It's never been a favourite of mine and remembered…
  • It's funny isn't it how the history of the films panned out. Had FYEO followed Spy as planned it wouldn't have been the same film at all. So if you like FYEO, I very much do by the way, that works out well and vice versa. After the excess of Moonr…
  • I was of course just being silly with the 'About a Man' thing but I wholeheartedly agree with the follow up comments regarding Hugh Grant. He has got better and better as he's aged and he'd make a great M after Fiennes is done. Although the funny t…
  • Hoult as Bond with Hugh Grant as M. B26 could be called About a Man.
  • Killing Q would work well. It would have stakes but as Q is the Quartermaster rather than an individual he/she is easy to replace and reboot.

  • There is another very reassuring positive aspect to this too if it is all true. If the big players in the streaming world are willing to pay colossal sums of money to buy 1 Bond film it shows our man is not only still very relevant but is still a h…
  • I really hope it happens and I'm starting to think it will. Money talks at the best of times. Obviously a deal like this wouldn't even be suggested in the best of times, but these aren't, they are the worst in living memory for not only the industr…
  • Please be true, please be true, please be true. (Said with eyes closed and fingers crossed)
  • Yeah, it's great isn't it. If it wasn't planned there would have been some panic behind the camera for a second or two X_X #:-S Glad it's not just me who worries about this!

  • Having just watched Thunderball I thought I'd share; Although I have noticed this before, in fact I noticed it many years ago and it amuses me every time I see it and I'm wondering is it just me? At the very beginning Largo pulls up in his car (po…
