  • Goldeneye gets the Blondie, but, I actually enjoy all of the Brosnan era songs. GE comes the closest to an all out classic, the rest don't, but none, to me, are terrible. DAD, to my ear, is cheesy and silly, but still fun, so, I think based on what …

  • Seems like @Mendes4Lyfe ‘s choice for director, is nowhere close to the next Bond picture, thankfully…: https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/4/11/edgar-wright-running-man-remake-to-star-glenn-powell I kinda agree with the writer, who says thi…

  • Bond kills baddies, @DEKE_RIVERS , and he’s supposed to seduce love interests, not force himself on them. I don’t think I ever thought the barn yard scene was cool in any way— and I’m talking about when I was a kid. Confused maybe, but not cool…. …
  • 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 …
