  • 💯 💯 💯 @007ClassicBondFan , and what a sixty plus year legacy it is. No other film series can come close to the accomplishments of EoN. And comparing the size of EoN to the monoliths that other film series were born from, this family outfit is the…

  • Classic bond is what the average man thinks he is capable of in his dreams, Craigs bond is what the average man thinks he's capable of when he's drunk. 😂! The Boogie Man is gone, @Mendes4Lyfe . Have fun on another thread. Try one of the ga…
  • @007ClassicBondFan tell this to the fans who point out peirces pain face at every opportunity, or Moores use of stunt doubles. Been 30 years, surely they must be getting tired by now. I’ve been on this site since 2012. Personally speaking,…

  • @007HallY , it’s difficult to have a discussion when there are false representations being presented. It’s Straw Man argument tactics mixed in with paragraphs of word salads. When you strip everything away, it’s simply an obsession of passionate …

  • Agreed about the deep water line— hated it the first time I heard it, despise it now, 😂. It doesn’t get better with age!! And the Bunga Bunga line was great!!! And you’re right @007HallY , so specific I wasn’t even sure if I heard it correctly th…

  • thedove wrote: » Mark my words, they take the next two and then get smoked in Game 7 that would be a Leaf thing to do. A telling stat, they are winless in their last 6 home playoff games. You aren't winning a series if you can't win at home. Co…
  • Creasy47 wrote: » The Leafs have clearly mentally checked out already. No way they move past this round. Seeing the players imploding on the bench and attacking one another is never a good sign. Absolutely. They’re done.
  • I’ve never seen Lenya’s performance as underrated. She and Shaw, combined, and apart, have always shared a major reason why FRWL is a brilliant Bond film. I also think Marlohe has been nearly universally praised, at least on this site, for her…

  • Out of this list, I easily go for Jimmy Dean as WW. I'd also like mention Vijay as played by Vijay Artiraj... To me he was so likeable and genuine. He had great chemistry with Moore, and I believed he was actually cracking up in a few scenes. I a…

  • I'm of the camp that TLD is not only a great PTS (my favourite), but an exciting way of introducing our new 007. The Klebbie goes to OHMSS, for the reasons @007HallY already stated... It's the pacing and flow which hinders it, and then once Bond …
