  • I don't think naming a POC is race baiting. I just don't.... AND... I STILL think Sope is the best candidate. He's alpha, he has great fashion and looks good in most things he wears, he's athletic, has swagger... I don't care what his skin col…
  • This is an easy choice: AVTAK. Moore may've been looking creaky, but he still had plenty of charisma, much moreso than Brosnan, plus, seeing Gramps Bond vs a cackling maniac in Walker's Zorin and his incredible sidekick, May Day, is just too fun.…

  • CR…. The film itself, the way it was shot and lit has aged, but Craig is so off the charts good, he elevates whatever weaknesses there are. He so wholly became this role, from the first scene to the last. No matter how great OHMSS (and it i…
  • @George_Kaplan , unfortunately for me, that makes total sense…. ( 😂 )

  • @Mathis1 , you're so right, LALD was such an amazing debut, and this was a heartbreaking choice for me. But Dalton was pretty damn explosive, and TLD was more a traditional Bond film done extremely well (and I say that without taking anything awa…
  • Exceptionally tough, and LALD has exploded up my rankings, but TLD by a (comma of ) a hair.
  • I’d like to see what Demange does with Blade. I like his sensibilities as a director. I think he’d be a great choice to introduce a young and vibrant James Bond.
  • Plus Dr.No vs Carver… Both were campy in their own right, but one was coldly sinister and a real threat. Dr. No is by far the better antagonist…. I love when he heads into Bond’s bedroom, while Bond is passed out in bed, and pulls down the sheet …
  • One was a magnetic presence, even if he was growing into the complete package: Sean Connery in DN is magnetic and my eyes are drawn to him. Brosnan, not so much, and I find he’s far stronger in the first half of TND.

  • And man! Those lips! Imagine what she can do with those 😍 I’m guessing you’re under 25, or you don’t have a lot of women friends in your life?

  • … or the comment about imagining what Anne Hathaway’s lips can do (how ridiculously childish).
  • Thanks @007HallY … it’s almost like I’m waiting for my gut to dictate “go, go now”… I’ll see it, but I’m waiting for my own pessimism to die down so I can give the film a fair shake. Tenet really was the worst of his creative self. And when I walk i…
  • @TheSkyfallen06 … I don’t disagree. I have been avoiding the new film; I was meant to go yesterday, but… found excuses not to go. Hopefully I’ll be surprised and even blown away when I do see it.
  • Oh definitely Honey…. And Nomi. But I’m a big fan of women, like Honey (especially from the novel), who are tough by virtue of their character, and not necessarily a Wai Lin specialized type of “toughness”.
  • I love Moonraker, it may be my favourite novel (with FRWL and OHMSS and yes, for all its faults, TMWTGG)…; it could easily be updated and quite close to the book. It would be the perfect introduction for a new actor (maybe in the film adaptation, M …
  • Maybe Camille??? She's a trained agent. And her upbringing: "My father worked for the military junta. He was a very cruel man... but he was my father. When I was a small child the opposition sent General Medrano to our house. He shot my father. H…

  • @AstonLotus , why are you all capping, lol. I believe the directors said the footage was destroyed, not the studio. I know it was only a rough assembly of the film. And I didn't say the film would be released. I said that there is a Master …

  • I can’t disagree with anything you stated @CrabKey … but will add that if EoN is as serious about Fleming as they say they are (especially when they’re “lost”), then I’d hope that the original creator’s DNA will always find its way through into the …
  • Spielberg from the late 70s/80s? Or Spielberg now? If it was the young Beard, I’d take him over Tarantino (his action beats would be unbeatable)…. If it’s present day The Beard, I’d take Tarantino (whether it be the young, or present Tarantino. H…
  • It all starts with the script. Get the story “right”, and build out from there.
