Thanks gents for your kind words. Now... Countdown to No Time to Die Seen as this year celebrates my 20 year obsession with 007, I’d though it would be rather grand to view them in order in which I collected them on VHS. You know, I neve…

FRWL. Easy. Not because GF is bad, in fact it is rather excellent, but FRWL is the top of the Bondian tree. SF AVTAK is a mediocre film, with some highlights, but SF is this generations GF.

Cracking read @FoxRox. I do adore Dr No. One of the series high points for sure. *I've decided to change my score for LALD to a 5, instead of 4. Thinking about it last night, one overlong chase sequence, and some dubious comedic casting choices, …

*Disclaimer - I’ve been having a gander at Joseph Darlington’s YouTube channel, in which he reviews the Bond movies. He’s got a good method of reviewing them, which I’m going to shamelessly steal. He rates his least favourite as 1 out of 10, his fa…

Thank you for the kind comments chaps. It's nice to see Woolworths living on down under, @w2bond, even if it's unrelated.

They shut down a few years ago. Great selection of stuff could be procured in Woolworths. Most of my VHS collection came from there.
