  • 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…

  • @007HallY i agree with everything you said (and I do like your concepts).
  • 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.

  • Thank you @GoldenGun . You do an impressive job on this game. I'm catching up now and so far I'm skewing with the game (minus a couple of entries). 25. DAD (my 25) 24. TWINE (24) 23. DAF (22) 22. AVTAK (23) 21. TMWTGG (20) 20. SP (16) 19…

  • and the last one has see food on it. Not eyeball pizza again!!! (Sorry, @DarthDimi ... I had to..., 😂!! It was there for the taking, and we all know I'm a sucker for low hanging fruit).
  • @007ClassicBondFan , bang-on! It's storytelling. There are an infinite number of avenues they can take for the next era (that will be making moves in 2026, for a 2027 release).
  • A few weeks ago, randomly picked up TMWTGG to read again. Then, last week, I randomly chose GF ( probably my best read of this novel, marveling at Fleming's imagination), and as soon as I was done that, I plucked TB off the shelf, which I'm also …

  • @Univex , I’d definitely love a thread like that. Here’s Hemingway’s quote in full, and there’s gold in his words: Don’t get discouraged because there’s a lot of mechanical work to writing. There is, and you can’t get out of it. I rewrote A Fa…
