Oliver Reed was in the mould of another Robert Shaw. He would have made a great baddie. My 2 cents on Lazenby - great looking as Bond, great in the action scenes, terrible actor for most part, even though OHMSS is one of my favourite films. He of…

I don't mind seeing Bond getting laid, although watching some of the Moore films now, I do find myself finding it occasionally a tad creepy. Connery had his moments too. I prefer Dalton's totally implausible escapade on the boat with a woman afte…

This is getting boring by the press. No one knows who is in the running. Maybe Barbara had a dinner with ATJ, maybe she rang him and had a chat, but that's probably as far as it goes. I doubt one single actor has even auditioned yet, unless this …

I thought the action scenes in Matera and the whole of Jamaica were the highlight of NTTD for me. I really liked both these moments in a film which I otherwise despise. I never really understood the constant praise that the Cuba scenes get. To me…

The happy compromise for EON/Nolan would be faithfully adapting the Fleming novel but in a modern day setting. Wow! All my Christmases would come at once if that happened. I wouldn't just be back on board as the world's biggest Bond fan, I doubt …
