  • @GoldenGun As a Norwegian I feel flattered you have such high praise for places many locals would deem fairly unspectacular. Your are not just being polite are you? ;)

  • My enjoyment of Thunderball has everything to do with mood and state of mind. If I am tired or feel lazy I know there is no point of watching. You have to be able to maintain a certain level of curiosity, assertiveness and concentration to enjoy it …

  • Oh, come on! I know Lazenby has got a lot of undeserved flak through the years and been underrated in circles. But this is just silly! Don't even go there...

  • I honestly don't get the point of listening to film tracks without the film. If I just want to listen to clasical music there are plenty of masterpieces written for the purpose of listening only. With all respect, John Barry RIP, you are not in the …

  • Whatever you think of the plot´s detour during the final act, I don´t think you can debate that some of the action during the finale is simply top notch! Action wise at least I think both of the climaxes in Dalton´s films hold up very well.

  • I know seemingly "killing" Bond is in line with Fleming, but I don't really see the need for it. And it does pose a few unecessary question and problems, particularly for the more casual fans and movie goers in regards to reintroducing the character…
    in Saying goodbye to DC, the final scene...ideas. Comment by jobo May 2019
  • I would actually prefer a completely normal, classic ending. Bond with the Bond girl of choice somewhere secluded. Perhaps in bed. Nothing dramatic or poetic. Yes, Craig is done, but the franchise moves on.
