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 …

James Bond is a complicated man. In one film he claims to have wild nights in Tokyo, next thing he's never been to Japan. In a couple of films he mentions being superstitious once in FRWL and then again in OHMSS. This is in relation to the 13th. …

I was thinking of Tiffany Case telling the gas station attendant to pump gas and I believe she calls someone Curly? I think if it was a general shout out it would have been "Buddy" at least here in North America. As a service provider I have been…

I find the English thing rather weird to comment on. Gert Frobe didn't speak much English and clearly delivered a wonderful performance. I don't see how they cast the guy and have him shoot for a few days and then decide to jettison him and find ano…

He's a talented actor and can play the part of a villain quite well. As Blofeld I never feel that Bond is in much danger. Granted he was parachuted in and didn't really have time to prepare for the role in any real way. I will trust their judgeme…

I feel your pain @Last_Rat_Standing but sadly have never felt those feelings in a SCF! LOL! I am torn between Canada reclaiming the Cup after so many years and Florida becoming a modern day dynasty. I still think the Panthers will take it but the…

Pleasance standing next to Connery was not a good look. His character looked small and cowardly. The scar was only given to him to make him more evil. While it did give us the Dr. Evil character I remember the let down the first time I saw YOTL. Whe…

With the announcement of First Light and the teaser last week it seems the focus is all on the game. We saw snippets and it looks like it will be a banger. We saw a new M, a Moneypenny that seems styled after Naomi, a Q that looks like a new take…

Yep, I love Daniel Craig and yet found his performance at times lacking or maybe it was the ham fisted way they tried to ret-con everything in towards the end of his run. I rather liked the Cruise opening with a thank you, it's different and seem…

I never understood the logic of Superman lifting up an island filled with Kryptonite. I do not mean the mass of it, I mean how can he have that strength when the very thing that strips him of his powers is all around him? I do like the tone of Le…

Oh then I am scared that there is too much into one film. Especially with all the characters I see.

There is sometimes too much of a good thing @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ I recall the fandom clamouring for Hinx to return in NTTD and I am glad he didn't. There is something to be said for giving us everything in one film. BTW I have reflected and now rem…

I don't think he gained weight during the production but if he did it was subtle. I think the tight shooting schedule wouldn't have allowed for him to gain weight. To those that wish DAF was a revenge type thriller. The producers were nervous. In…

As previously mentioned, Roger had a couple of characters that came back to play an important role in a second film. Let us turn our attention to one Jaws! Would you rather watch Jaws in Spy OR in MR? One of the more memorable things about TSW…

Good theories guys! Who is the tourist in TSWLM, MR, FYEO? A fun Easter egg in these three movies is a man who appears during chase or action scenes in these three movies. He is first found on the beach in Spy and checks his wine bottle whe…

I wonder if we might get some clues to revive us and get some guesses going @Last_Rat_Standing

I would love to see it if only to challenge the long held belief that disfigurement equals evil. I was shocked that the producers felt the need to give Le Chiffre the bleeding eye. This is 2006 I would have thought we would be past this antiquated v…

Connery infused Bond with dark humor. Thanks to Terence Young who helped him in the first two films. They both knew that humor, which was very lacking the in the Fleming, novels was going to be needed. I think of the "Make sure he doesn't get awa…

Speaking of skydiving or parachutes, another thing popped into my head. The start of Spy sees Bond in "Austria" but in reality Canada (got to rep my country!) and he's seen leaving the chalet and the Russians lie in wait. But how did the men know…

To my mind there are more echoes of GE than to TLD or the re-boot of Bond that Cubby hated. I do not see EON showing them old un-used scripts because I think that would open it up for others to sue based on taking the idea and using it for something…
