  • I’ve never seen Lenya’s performance as underrated. She and Shaw, combined, and apart, have always shared a major reason why FRWL is a brilliant Bond film. I also think Marlohe has been nearly universally praised, at least on this site, for her…

  • Out of this list, I easily go for Jimmy Dean as WW. I'd also like mention Vijay as played by Vijay Artiraj... To me he was so likeable and genuine. He had great chemistry with Moore, and I believed he was actually cracking up in a few scenes. I a…

  • I'm of the camp that TLD is not only a great PTS (my favourite), but an exciting way of introducing our new 007. The Klebbie goes to OHMSS, for the reasons @007HallY already stated... It's the pacing and flow which hinders it, and then once Bond …

  • Octopussy for the Bondie. AVTAK for the Klebbie. Could have been excellent, but sloppily executed.
  • Typical script for Toronto. Their compete was there, some "chances", but it's clear they're missing something, and Boston chipped away at them in the first period, and then just overwhelmed them with consistent, simple attacks and pressure, and, of …

  • Agreed with @Benny , @007ClassicBondFan ... it's clear that you put a lot of effort into each series. Once again, love your thoughts on Dalton and LTK..., and Pam. She's an understated, yet really enjoyable partner for Dalton... And, of course…

  • Great points @mtm … And @j_w_pepper , I get why you’re bringing up this film, and although I haven’t seen it, it doesn’t sound like this has anything to do with titillation (although, obviously, these scenes are very problematic today). But we ar…
  • 16 year olds topless??? I never knew, and why the Hell would one bring this up? If this did happen, then that's not part of the good old days of being sexually liberal! That's child exploitation. Whoa, checking out of this conversation...
