  • Yes, as of right now Hemsworth, along with Turner, is very high on my list. If I care to I could did up countless photos that show him looking very Bondian; he’s got the right level of fame, has matured greatly as an actor and can handle both the l…

  • Nothing in SPECTRE is superior to anything in the last 3 MI films , including the helicopter sequences. As far as copying from Bond, that accusation is made far too often; it’s like saying that one western ripped off on other because they both used…

  • Still believe that Hugh Jackman was a huge missed opportunity. There’s often discussion about having a light hearted, Moore like Bond or a more intense, at times brutal 007 , like Craig. There really is no reason there can’t be both; it would obvio…

  • Come on folks, as the Immortals did in Highlander, let’s keep the non-political and non-current event topics “ Holy Ground”; it’s not the place to engage.

  • So, are all Trump supporters “unclean”
  • The “Hoagy Carmichael” standard is meaningless to casting Bond.

  • This is why either Gallagher, but preferably both, would be great, and both of their recent albums demonstrates that they still have “it” Also, for all of the accolades rightfully given to Skyfall for it’s cinematography, seeing this reminds my h…

  • Oh yes! As Clint did in Unforgiven, following the murder of Morgan Freeman’s character, I think there will be a moment where the warrior side of Rambo re-emerges and the audience will go crazy.

  • Over at a Stallone site, when some were getting antsy because he didn’t look like Rambo, his hair was not long, no bandanna, not in combat gear, etc., I said look, the character of John Rambo was not born a warrior; chances , from a very young age, …
  • Dalton could have played Bond into the 2000s , with a little help with the hair. ;)
  • As of now, Turner is in my top 3. Some say he has too much of an “ethnic “ look; if you want to see it, I guess you can. The same could be said about Sean if he was unshaven and had longer hair. He did, in fact play an Arab. A great introduction fo…
  • Times have changed; in 1996 I was on a flight from London to New York and they showed Goldeneye. The problem though was that they edited out any scenes that involved an aircraft crashing or in distress.Lol, think about it, there are several in the f…

  • Well, through the years, body norms change, for women and men; what worked in any previous era may not today. Take two icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield ; from now until the end of time they will rightfully remembered as sex symbols. …
