  • @thedove , I never understood letting Hyman walk. What does he make? $5.5? They didn't read the tea leaves well on that one. And yep, I'm as concerned as you about the rising teams all around us. Shanahan came in here saying he'd change the cu…

  • I'd go with Thunderball, day and night. The original film is richer in exotic sexiness of the Bahamas, Connery looking his best, and his performance was executed with intoxicating charisma and coolness; the women were drop dead, and Domino was ce…

  • Randomly, I think Bond might end up in the arctic in the next era the way military strategy in the real world is playing out. Love it

  • I don't know anything about the actor playing Superman, and I want to keep it that way, so I won't be watching anything he has done before... But he looks like one helluva big boy. Way bigger than Routh, and he appears thicker than even Cavill. …
  • Huh, good point @Fire_and_Ice_Returns . I remember thinking that was a cool shot of Cavill when that pic was first revealed. And yeah, putting on your boots as if you’re going out for a walk… it does lack drama, but now I wonder, is it supposed t…
  • Ah nice! His posts are very interesting, always cool to read. An absolute gentleman, @007HallY . Very funny. Very talented, he’s a writer-director now. This weekend I had the pleasure of reading something he’s working on. He’s a great storyt…

  • No problem, @Kojak007 👍. And, yes, @echo , it would have to be awfully tempting for Villeneuve to consider being the director to kick-start the new era.

  • Thanks @FoxRox !!! Win or lose, I just want them to show up! And fight! I’ll be sad if the Leafs don’t make it to the next round, BUT, if they leave everything on the ice, as they have done these past two games, I will have nothing to really comp…
