  • Thanks @Dwayne ! That's really interesting stuff... It's wild to see the "loan"words that the Japanese use, and not one, not two, but three different writing systems?!! You think you're coming on a James Bond fan-site, but you get just a little b…

  • I actually like all of those scenes except for the fight at Stacy’s house. I recently watched the film, and I really have nothing good to say about it, although the music (while repetitive), elevates, if only slightly, the visual crap that’s on the…

  • Great game two…. Period two and three were all Panthers. They just give no space to the Oils. McDavid is having tantrums. Same with Draisaitl. Skinner is porous. I have to imagine therel’ll be a home town bounce for game three, but the Cats…

  • @jetsetwilly , your post was the first thing I read today, and gave me a genuine chuckle (although, some people may agree with your suggestion, 😂)! @CrabKey , just attempting a bit of self deprecating humour (especially since my opinion isn't a v…

  • I’m in the same boat as @CommanderRoss and @echo . Not only my favourite ending, but, my favourite Bond film. I know, this makes me a fraud of a Bond fan. I should stick my head in the ground with embarrassment….
  • f I had to guess, mine would be Eon is intentionally spacing out the length between NTTD and the new film, going by the idea that absence makes the heart grow fonder. This happened with GE, despite many at the time believing Bond might be out of dat…
  • That’s kind of a redundant thing to say, especially in response to Makeshift’s post. And why would it “matter”? Their job, as filmmakers is to come up with ideas. You don’t suddenly lose them as a collective team, lol!

  • I think for a new Bond a shorter and snappier one is best dependent on what they want to do. Yes, in agreement. With a new Bond, have it short, snappy, and make us want more of what we saw. It’s the way I felt when I first saw TLD in cinema. …

  • No problem @Creasy47 !! Thanks for posting!! And yes, @mtm , unshaven…. Has he been the “dead man” that needs to wake up? I’m happy that they’re giving us something different— as one and two were quite a bit different from each other. Kudos to do…
