  • The Rock, while it's probably Bay's best film (which doesn't say a lot I must admit), is fine but I'm not too crazy about it. Without Sean I wouldn't even consider watching it. Very good point @GoldenGun . I probably wouldn't have watched it …

  • The Untouchables. The only fault I have with Connery in this film is that I wish there was more of him before he "bows out"...

  • @Reflsin2bourbons … I quit the continuation novels many years ago, but one that has stood out to me was Icebreaker. I have to admit, I love the setting, the bleakness of the snowy terrain, and I accepted the double (triple, quadruple?) crossing that…

  • Maibaum with a close second to Adam....
  • @007HallY , a wise person ( @echo ) recently said to me: Forget it Jake, it's Deketown.

  • @CrabKey , I don’t agree or disagree. I just didn’t understand the comment as I didn't think that @mtm was referencing “last century” as being something pejorative (which means contempt or disapproval). I just didn’t understand it. I find @mtm is…

  • I personally enjoy the latter novels more than the earlier ones-- Moonraker being the exception. I should have been clearer in my statement: I didn't say Craig injected more humanity in QoS compared with LALD, but instead, I said he was more like…
