I think this was my 21st. There are many elements I really admire about this film, but as a whole, I just don't get that punch in the gut that I want from a Bond film. Brosnan's second film really scratches that itch for me, at least for two thir…

My number nine. It used to be higher. Saying that, I can't see it ever falling out of the top ten. It was the first James Bond film I saw (it was on television, and I couldn't have been more than five or six). My dad, a Connery-only James Bond fa…

@HasanDafer We also watched Longlegs last night. My feeling is identical to yours, and I’d just like to add a creepy note: Cage’s performance was truly spine-tingling and frightening, and…….. He based his characterization on his mother, who su…

But I do remember my first reactions. Maybe they just got stuck in my mind and clouded my overall judgment? -QoS: "damn that editing team, I could barely see what was going on." -SF: "Ergh...they made Bond a weakling" -SP: "They sucked all the te…

If The Spy Who Loved Me were made today, there would be a 5 minute scene, probably after Bond kicks Jaws out of the window on the train, where Anya breaks down in front of James, and tells him about losing her partner in the weeks prior, and Bond, n…

I’m with @mtm and thought this was a shockingly low ranking. I suppose I’m deaf to the criticisms, and I expected a top five, if not a top three position. Interesting to see wild differences. Number two in my ranking.

@MaxCasino — I’m always available. Don’t hafta ask. Pop over to the PMs and if I can offer feedback at that time I will. Sometimes I need to ask for more time to get to things. But the thing we need, as I was just having this discussion yesterday…

@MaxCasino , thank you! And I agree that we are indeed lucky! @Burgess , Ahaha I thought you must’ve had some background. You will do well. It’s obvious you have a good head on your shoulders. You seem dialled in on both the marketing and creativ…

Once again, very nicely said @007HallY … I honestly couldn’t wrap my brain around the other stuff like football matches and getting whatever-generations out through a general “this” or “that”. It was making my poor little brain smash into the walls …

@burgess, I'm really enjoying your posts. Very thoughtful and intuitive. Not sure what line of work you're in, but you seem to have a great understanding of the film industry generally, its marketing, and insightful ideas on Bond in particular. A…

I'm closer to @007HallY 's ranking and thoughts. Rated 21 on my list.
