  • I have no idea. I was thinking of a special "007 edition" or something. Blackwell's rum had that (and it looks as if that is still available), but I couldn't find a trace of a 1980s Philips Soundmachine having been issued as such.
  • Judging from Musk's most recent political utterings and reinstatements of the likes of TFG and Kanye West on what used to be Twitter, my best guess is he chose the X since it's so easy to add ninety-degree hooks to the cross bars at some time in the…
  • I see your point. www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/g/goldfinger-script-transcript-james-bond.html (a transcript of the dialogue only, not the original script) has "Mr. Romales" in the second line. The script (supposedly also only a transcript,…
  • I still think that all discs that came out after CDs were invented should have been packaged in the same-size jewel cases as CDs were (since the disc size is also the same), and I was kind of appalled when DVDs first came out in bloated book-sized s…

  • To tell you the truth, I don't think anything can be done, nor should it. All through this thread I have been thinking that learning about the locations (and not just luckily guessing right) is the main purpose, and it doesn't make any difference i…

  • Another final try after an intermission of, like, another ten weeks. I know that @zebrafish has the solution (and I'm not surprised), but it's no fun doing a ping-pong on this kind of games if only two or three people take part. I'll give up if no…
  • Tsk, tsk. " 'E's not the Messiah. 'E's very naughty boy."
  • "Goldfinger had its world television premiere on September 17, 1972 as the debut film in a new season of ABC's ‘Sunday Night Movie’ strand. The ABC network made edits to the film for violence and sexual content, but also trimmed dialogue in the scen…
  • Pretty good. But let's get back at the original question from May 9th: Who was the sponsor that demanded it? ( A few years later: "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and...")
  • If they left out parts, it would be the lesser of two evils, though very deplorable. But not releasing the music at all is totally unacceptable. And I would prefer to have the complete new tracks/cues if they need to cut down for reasons of space,…
  • Now, @thedove, you solved half of it...but the motivation of the sponsor to remove the line should be made clear.

  • I desperately want the DOD soundtrack on CD. Why Disney won't release it is beyond me. I'm certainly not going to subscribe to some streaming service, Disney or not, just for that one. But I think it's a crime not making a John Williams soundtrac…

  • I think you should serve me both, one after another, to decide which one is better.

  • 4K is one step too far for me. I'm still thrilled watching FullHD movies via my 13-year old projector and 14' diagonal screen and can't imagine watching anything more detailed than what I have. It's perfect, and I won't upgrade.
  • I keep waiting for the BD, and unless they charge outrageous prices for it, I'll be among the first to buy one. There are limits, though, to what I am ready to spend. Most of my collection was well below 10 euros each, and that includes all-time c…
  • I'm all with you, @Dwayne, that Maryam is a highlight of TLD, but I definitely also love Carey Lowell in LTK. Two of my favourite Bond girls.
  • Do they actually "submit" their work or are they just picked? I mean, I don't suppose any actor applies to the Academy to award him/her as best actor, and neither any director, so why should the composer of the score or of the title song do it?
  • Be glad this isn't about Barbie yet :-)!
  • All right, I'll give it a try: 1962: DR. NO vs LAWRENCE OF ARABIA 1963: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE vs TOM JONES - full disclosure: haven't seen TJ, but it can't be better than my probably favourite Bond movie 1964: GOLDFINGER vs MY FAIR LADY - As m…
  • I much prefer TLD, though that doesn't mean LTK is bad in any way.
  • I just checked several other threads, and there is indeed no "quote" option under any of the starter posts. I never noticed that before. Of course, one can copy and paste the contents, but not with a single click as with all the others.

  • Wow! How come it isn't possible to "quote" the original posting (that started the thread) in order to respond to it, unlike any other responses that can be easily quoted in their entirety (thanks to a "quote" button), making it easy to respond? I'…
  • I don't really know anything about or from her since "Nothing Compares To You" (or however it is spelled), and she seems to have had several attempts at suicide before. Her son "succeeded" doing it at 17. It's really a tragic family situation, whi…
