  • I agree @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ ... Elvis is more of a lackey, but Hans was this hulking mountain man that was seriously under utilized. He just stood in his corner, until he's cued up for his one fight scene.

  • MR... Wonderful score, great sets, DRAX is so dry he's a cracker and Moore is fun in the role.

  • @echo i thought of Mescal before and I wouldn’t be surprised (but something about his youth and relative inexperience made me doubt that he could, or possibly may not want, the responsibility of carrying on all that is James Bond (I’m thinking the s…

  • Aha- you're right @mtm....!! Perhaps Octopussy would be a runner up. Thanks @mattjoes !!!!
  • I like the idea of caviar, but I think it works better for a chapter: Caviar for Breakfast (after a night of gambling, and the rising sun breaking its way across the sky, Bond retires to his hotel room where he finds a complimentary order of c…
  • While the world waits for ATJ to have signed a non existent contract, to a film with no script, director, and winning the role without having to do one audition, I really do wonder who is on the potential list over at EoN. I'm almost finished The…
