  • I agree @QBranch , and I really like Alien 3 as well. I think that may have been his debut film (?). I think he'd make a spectacular Bond film, but, he's a particular type of filmmaker, and I'm not sure how Intune he'd be with EoN and partnering …

  • 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…
