  • Hey @Mendes4Lyfe , there’s this new member on the site. I should introduce you. I have a feeling you’d get along beautifully! To take another perspective re: your post above (that Brosnan’s films added to the series in comparison to Craig’s films…

  • @jetsetwilly From yesterday's Variety: Sources close to Taylor-Johnson downplayed the report and said he has not been cast as Bond, but technically anything is possible in the future. This has been a hoax. No, I don't think someone as big a…
