  • I love both. I find them hypnotic. Never had a problem with having Connery “imprisoned” in Kentucky. Connery was at the height of his powers, his suits were impeccable, the music was sexy, the stories were both over the top, yet still felt ground…
  • Absolutely agree with all your thoughts on this early advertising. It almost feels a little too desperate; like the marketing ppl are freaking over some bad or tepid reviews and they’re trying to drown it out with their razzle and dazzle. I’d hav…

  • I’m excited for Florida. Dynamic players that mix speed, skill and grit (and the most Canadian-filled team, if I’m not mistaken); they’re savages and I hope they take it all. But at this point, in the Final Four, it’s anyone’s Cup; it’s a mixtur…

  • What’s a titanic?
  • He’s got a very smarmy face (especially when he raises eyebrows and does his pouty thing).

  • @MakeshiftPython , absolutely…
  • I like to imagine Hugh Grant playing C: imagine how good that would have been and how much stronger he'd be in it. Great suggestion. He’d have added quite a bit of nuance and layers to the character.
  • I was mainly talking about his performance, @CrabKey and @007HallY ...He was being so obvious in everything he did. He was as subtle as a sledgehammer to the head.
  • They should have had a long mustache on C, that way Scott could twirl it whilst thinking of his dastardly plans-- just incase the audience didn't "get" that he was a villain 🙄
  • @mallory which films have you seen where the scripts were locked? Get the shooting draft of that film, and read that "locked" script, along with the actual film. You will see that no script is "locked" until an editor and director lock the film (and…
  • Continuing to watch Skyfall… I’m at the hearing scene, where Bond comes to save the day: Craig, like Connery, is such a physical actor. And Craig, more so than Connery; my wife is a Masters Level Pilates and Movement Specialist ; every time she sees…
  • I’m watching Skyfall… and I’m truly wondering, is there one actor today that could have nailed the scene with Severine at the bar in the Casino? I can watch this one scene a thousand times over and still be moved and entertained at the same time… on…
  • Good point @007ClassicBondFan … we are living in times where most can’t afford a history like Miller’s. I have to believe EoN and their partners have vetting protocols in place. With the actor’s consent, I’m sure they will do a deep dive into his pa…
  • You’re right @mtm … The “‘til death do us part” relationship with MGM…
  • Amazon isn’t in control of the Bond brand. They will have a say, sure. But if Broccoli wants to hire an actor, they will do as she wants. They can’t fire her. And, theoretically, she could dig in her heels and refuse to make another Bond film until …

  • @CharmianBond , you're right!! 😂😂😂
  • I think at this point, nothing is a sure thing except that one day we will get a new Bond actor in a new Bond film, lol.
  • May the best man win. If he has the best attributes, and can take the pressure of being the new 007, and will be a solid representative, then I don’t give a damn about someone’s skin color. Peter Dinklage is a fantastic actor, yet possesses no…

  • @ColonelAdamski — please explain…
  • And, as far we know @slide_99 actually watched Skyfall (unlike his constant banging on over NTTD, a film he’s never watched). At least he’s trying new things…
  • @Benny , I’m thinking @slide_99 should take over EoN. He’s got his finger on the pulse. He gets Bond. I mean, like you, I hear mostly negative comments, but you know what they say about people who only know how to tear things down…. Oh wait…
  • I hope Spectre as an enemy is gone for the immediate future. Same with the DB5. I’d like a new Mi6 crew, that doesn’t necessarily include a personal assistant/secretary by the name of Moneypenny. And I’d like a Q-branch, but I don’t necessaril…
  • @Last_Rat_Standing … thanks for this. Leafs Nation is an embarrassment— generally speaking. Not a fan of the fans, 😂.

  • The Panthers are the most opportunistic team playing. They clog and wait. When the Leafs have a brain fart, the Panthers pounce and convert. Then- They sit back and clog and wait again— doing it with tremendous speed. Toronto is my team and…
