Excellent picks folks. Lets change it up and decide who we would rather have as a henchman. I mean we all need someone to assist us from time to time. These two are comfortable being out on their own trying to advance their boss's ideas and plans…

Time to revive this old thread and have some renewed awards along with some new ones. Hard to believe we have been quiet here for a year. First bit of business to those who are new here, we will have a category and the academy will get five nomin…

Does the fact that Junkanoo is held in the week between Boxing Day and New Years make TB a Christmas movie? LOL I liked the homemade feel of the Junkanoo so I will choose that one. Both look like a wild time. I am told the Junkanoo can make your …

I have always had a soft spot for Domino and enjoy water sports so I would enjoy a good splash in the ocean. A few times Bond has found himself in the midst of festivals! Lets see which one you would rather attend. Would you rather attend the …

Good discussion with a variety of interesting takes. I like when other members step forward to submit scenarios for me to post. Thanks to @SIS_HQ for this suggestion. What if EON knew the issue with MGM and decided to cut ties with them as co …

I really enjoyed skimming through the comments and seeing all the thoughts. Here are my random thoughts: * Some have stated that Villeneuve is known for plodding films and that this means the next set of Bond movies will be that way. I remind e…

Haven't seen a single movie of his. But I am happy to see a fellow Canuck in charge of the next film. I will need to brush up and watch some of his films. Any suggestions on which one would be a good one to watch? How will he do this and manage h…

Since we seemed to have dried up our guesses here are a few new clues: EON Character, named with minimal dialogue: * I take Bond for a ride * I'm a handy man for my employer * I have a habit of popping up * I get my hands on the prize * I…

Love this discussion about the directors chair. I hadn't thought about the strengths of each director. Wonderful things for us to consider. I thought we would switch it up. A few times Bond and the leading lady have done an activity together in a…

My light research into things shows the following: Diamonds Are Forever(1971) Budget:$7.2 million Worldwide Gross:$116 million Domestic (US & Canada): $43.8 million International: $72.2 million On the Buses (1971) Budget:£90,000…

IFP is in a bit of a jam. Do nothing or just produce Bond novels and they are limiting themselves. They are a business at last glance and not a public trust. They need to generate revenue. Without young adult novels you may not get a readership b…

Is it just me or are there more deals happening before the draft and free agency this year? It would seem that we are about to enter an interesting free agent season. Was surprised to see Zegras traded to the Flyers. Though I guess the Ducks didn…

I love how in FRWL the novel the Russians do a deep dive on Bond and his file according to them. The films started with the number and his identity being a top secret. By TB when Bond utters the number in front of a very much alive SPECTRE agent. YO…

Good thoughts here. I really like Goldeneye as a film. This little thing had bothered me over the years. Also the perversion of someone watching others having some relations is interesting. Okay we have a guest theory! @SIS_HQ would like to hear …

I know that EON thought it wasn't modern to have CR feature Chemin De Fer so they went with poker. Which was also growing in popularity at the time of the film.

Chemin de Fer * The players take turns being the "banker" — it's a rotating role. * Players bet against each other, not the house. * Popular in France and in old-school casino scenes (James Bond plays it in Casino Royale). * It’s slightly mor…

"Bro this dude is totally sus." In a British accent it will sound cool! Lets hope they give him a modern take with his language. The last thing we want is a well educated white dude roaming around acting like he's intellectually superior.
-
I may suggest that Bond is seeing playing Chemin De Fer in most of the films you are citing. Chemin De Fer is when the banker role is assumed by a player at the table and rotates. Baccarat is when the casino is the banker and players play against th…

I love this discussion and how it really illustrates a character trait that plays out over a few films. I love GE and think it is one of the better Brosnan efforts. But yet... The Tigre helicopter sequence and a certain Canadian Admiral have a…

Sorry folks not who I am looking for. EON Character, named with minimal dialogue * I take Bond for a ride * I'm a handy man for my employer * I have a habit of popping up * I get my hands on the prize * I am a man of few words * I get in…

Lets dive back into the world of cinematic Bond. A fun little would you rather. There have been two directors consistently linked to Bond recently. Lets dive into a would you rather and see what you think. Would you rather Alfonso Cuaron direc…

The pressure! Okay lets try this one... EON Character, named with minimal dialogue * I take Bond for a ride * I'm a handy man for my employer * I have a habit of popping up

Came to check if we had a new round on the go? Appears we are waiting for @QBranch to provide the next character.

In Gardner's defense he was cranking out one book a year. I remember as a teen a venture to the book store was always a fun treat would I find a new James Bond book on the shelf? I am not sure if IFP was the one pushing the output or whether Gard…

Congratulations to the Florida Panthers and @Last_Rat_Standing I can't believe my prediction came true I should have laid some money down somewhere. Random thoughts on the series: * a local reporter stated it best that this played out like a ho…

I was excited to see Indy 4 when it came out and indeed saw it in the theatres. I was disappointed and lamented that Last Crusade has a great ending that had the heroes riding into the sunset. When DOD was announced I had mild interest. I never g…

Good stuff! Lets jump to the Ian Fleming Publications. They have been very active developing different books about different characters in the James Bond universe. We have Miss Moneypenny diaries, Q dealing with murder mysteries, the rest of the …
