  • @Mendes4Lyfe does that mean you’ll go into hibernation until then? I’m asking for a friend.
  • I think I had it at 22 as well. It’s just kind of a workman-like PTS: sets up a few mysteries (the theft of a space craft and Bond’s death), but it’s not exactly shot with flair. It’s fine…
  • CR/QoS goes together like steak and a full bodied red wine… OHMSS/FYEO feels like a lovely Rib Eye paired with a nice white wine that has no business being with said Ribeye. I mean, I like that white wine on its own, but not paired with the dynam…
  • Care of The Spy Command, an excerpt from Vaughn on The Happy Sad podcast: Vaughn says he was contacted by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer and was told he was getting the job of directing Casino Royale. “You’ve got the gig, don’t tell anyone,” the director qu…

  • @Colonel_Venus can always contact me via DM, and when he hears the story in context, he'll see it gels with Vaughn's certainty that he has more chance at being cast as Bond than directing (which means he's very well aware there not a snowballs chanc…
  • @Colonel_Venus , I was told by someone close to the productions Vaughn was never considered. Vaughn says he had an opportunity, but there’s more chance of him being cast as Bond than directing Bond. There’s a very good reason why he himself state…
  • Definitely the slo-mo in TND and DAD both shook me during my original viewings. It seemed too much for too little on the screen. It just didn’t make visual story-telling sense to me. I didn’t see the point and it very briefly, took me out of those …

  • @MaxCasino , correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Kilmer get into an altercation with Schumacher? Weren’t they like oil and water? And that’s why they re-cast?

  • On a serious note, @Mendes4Lyfe : read this conversation that started this morning, all the way through. You’ve pushed the goalposts way off the original playing field. The only thing you’ve clearly stated is you really don’t like the Craig Er…
  • I did a very intense mushroom trip on Friday…. …. And it was during this exploration that I realized @Mendes4Lyfe posts, and their meanings, are still the great mysteries of this universe still to be solved….
  • Gulp... I had it at 19.... When I was a kid I used to love DAF... I'd watch it over and over on VHS, so I blame the little boy in me to have ranked the PTS so high. Plus, the Bond theme as Connery approaches Marie, still gets my blood pumping. Ba…
  • I really like that all black suit on Brosnan. He looks like he stepped out of a graphic novel James Bond story....
  • You look good in that dress... Stop touching your ear... Now, now,.... As he drops the ear piece into Moneypenny's glass of champagne. That was all of what? Fifteen seconds of screentime? Twenty? Packed plenty of cool, light moments into a …

  • @denbigh, a director I'm working with directed Sam in Every Breath You Take... Very talented guy, but supposedly a great person on set. I'm not sure if I see him as Bond, but he has the chops to pull off an interesting version of 007!

  • Roger over Pierce any day, any film. He was naturally more likeable/charming… TMWTGG was a weaker effort, and Moore wasn’t built to slap anyone around, much less Maud Adams, but outside of that scene (and placing Goodnight in the closet), I enjoy…
  • I just thought the article had some interesting observations about each of the actors. I wouldn’t rank them in this fashion; especially the Moore ranking. And the Dalton one….. But fair and interesting nonetheless.
