  • Definitely not a flop. I think that's something that's attributed to it by critics of the film because they either found Lazenby to be far inferior to Connery or they just don't care for the film and see an opening to make the claim since Lazenby l…
  • I'd agree that Yvonne Strahovski would make a fantastic Bond girl. She'd be one of my top choices, for sure. Sadly, though, her career trajectory won't have her on EON's radar.

  • My three have already been mentioned, but I think that just shows how good those scenes are: 1. Bond kills Dent 2. Dinner with Dr. No 3. Bond meets Honey on the beach Honorable mentions go to Dent receiving the spider and "Bond. James Bo…

  • At the very least, he should have acted more professionally and not said something derogatory about his job when he was speaking publicly about it while on the company's time. Everyone complains about their jobs, that's a part of life, but you can'…
  • Definitely an overreaction to OHMSS. There was nothing about OHMSS that couldn't, or wouldn't, have been fixed by recasting Bond.
  • Not new, but I've been a very infrequent poster and have posted mostly in the elimination games to this point. I'll probably be frequenting this site more as a change of scenery seems to be in order. Anyway, big fan of Dalton (obvious, I know ;)…
  • I don't see this happening. I wouldn't mind it as a TV event for something like HBO or Showtime, but it's a nonstarter for the film franchise.

  • There's only two things that I'd really want to change. The first would be, as others have already said, would be to have had Connery do OHMSS. More Dalton films, whether it meant taking over earlier for Moore or extending his run into the early…
  • Quantum of Solace by a wide margin. Skyfall, I've always maintained, is massively overrated. I'd honestly take QoS over a good portion of the Bond films, I think that highly of it. SF, on the other hand, just doesn't work for me, especially given…

  • Dalton's version of GoldenEye, no contest. As already stated several times, much of GoldenEye seems like it was meant for Dalton and Hopkins to occupy the lead roles. That would have made for a much stronger film, as it would have given some wei…

  • It was a brilliant show when Archer and company were in the spy game. The whole Archer Vice nonsense was a major false step, though, as all but the final two episodes of that season were terrible. Haven't seen the latest season, though, as I don…

  • Good move to go back on the found-footage idea. It was a dumb idea from the outset. I really do hope, though, that they keep the winter setting that was considered at some point in the development process for this new film, though. Seeing Jason…
