  • What's the difference @CrabKey ?? In TGWTGT, rape is seen for what it is: a horrific act. The barn scene in Goldfinger was Bond's triumph. And if you can't see that, then at least you should see that this is deus ex machina via the penis. Bond…

  • Agreed, it looks very interesting. Two damaged souls that find each other. I think we are in for a twisted romance not seen since Fight Club.

  • And by the way gents, I love Goldfinger. But to think that this scene was two adults having a “gay old time “ is disingenuous. I think the men of yesterday saw it one way, and I have a feeling that some very aware women saw it another way (those …

  • @jetsetwilly and @talos7 , I just watched half of the video you posted above. I seriously can't argue any of their points, and I'll go back to the thing I liked most about James in THE GENTLEMEN: his absolute control... an icy, confident control.…
  • The little boy in me has always been blown away by GOLDFINGER...as @Creasy47 said: it's so iconic. Big and strong, and playful and sexy. It shakes one up. Goldfinger for the Blondie... The little boy in me gives the Klebbie to TB... I am not musi…
  • Haha, @mtm, I have never liked this sequence all that much... And for the very first time, after all my viewings of SPECTRE, I got goosebumps. The music just boosted my enthusiasm by a thousand points.

  • You’re absolutely correct @DarthDimi … Bond’s sinful pelvis can have whomever he likes (but I like it when he earns it through seduction (and I am one of the ones who may feel an unease with the Severine shower scene, but I do love it at the same ti…
