  • Well said @DarthDimi. My own experience has taught me a couple of key points when posting to forums such as these. I try not to make these mistakes and hopefully the mods will correct me if I do... Firstly, when someone has a different opinion…

  • Baltimore_007 wrote: Also, and I've said it before when Dalton turned up at the Casino De Isthmus and his hair looks like he's just arrived walking in out of a Monsoon, It was a bad day for hair in that release, it just looked damn silly above a…

  • I think that the phrases "dated", "modernize" and "of a time" are all a little different. I don't believe that the inclusion of the Mujahaddin means that TLD is dated - it's just "of a time". The same as the Cold War elements of the early films, …
  • I don't really think that the modern films are *missing* anything...I think that there is always the danger of the films becoming repetitive and boring of they try to tick too many boxes at once. While there are a lot of elements that people associa…
  • Samuel001 wrote: Isn't there a strong sense of, I don't know, fulfillment, that's you've been able to follow your childhood hero for so long? Plus it's still getting made, even today. That must be wonderful in itself. That is very fulfillin…
  • Jones_The_Bond wrote: I wish I could join in the Licence To Kill love. I really wish I could. But it just leaves me cold. In my eyes, it is FAR from 'the best Bond film ever'. It isn't even the best Bond film of that decade, or of the Timothy Da…
  • actonsteve wrote: Strangely enough, its middle of the pack for me, or just above, despite the fact that it is an excellent film and Dalton is my favourite Bond. The problem is there are too many excellent films above it. The quality on Bond has…
  • jamesbondunmasked wrote: Thanks, my first exposure was Goldfinger in '65. I was 7 or 8. Not sure what month it was. One thing that I'm curious about - and SirHenry can answer this too - is how odd is it to have Bond be the man that you want…
  • Definitely Lupe in terms of hotness: http://www.cineplex.com/Movies/Cast-Archives/3157038/Oto/Photo.aspx?id=189278 I never liked that one pic of Lupe in the red dress that 0Brady posted - she looks like she's sneering. I think that she looks f…
  • The funny thing with Dalton is that I've seen him be much funnier and more charming in other films and projects that he's done. For example, in Jane Eyre (try to find the 7 part mini-series, not the edited down movie) he displays a smoldering charm …
  • NicNac wrote: Is Judi Dench being cast a case of political correctness? Or simply reflecting real life (Stella Rimmington). And maybe Jeffrey Wright was cast because he was the best actor for the role? Just saying. How dare you inject l…
  • Creasy47 wrote: I wish I could pull off those swimming trunks. I think that @GermanLady would like to pull them off even more... ;-)
  • I finished re-reading all the Flemings (in order) over the last year or so. I just finished Colonel Sun which was far better than I remembered - I think reading it as part of the "canon" made me appreciate it more than when I read it without that co…
  • HASEROT wrote: Getafix wrote: I don't mean this as a heavy criticism of DC, as I like him as Bond and am looking forward to SF, but is it possible that he has been slightly over-hyped? I saw The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo last night and was un…
  • When CNN announced that Craig had been cast I thought it was a joke - but they put up the worst picture that I've ever seen of Craig (he looked like a homeless drug addict) next to an incredibly glamorous one of Brosnan. Then I saw an interview with…
  • Wow, 28 pages of comments...I'm late to the party... I'm old enough to have a slightly different perspective on this than some of the members here (I'm the same age as Craig) and I wonder if that changes things a bit. To see the older Bond films …
  • This thread comes up every now and again and it's interesting to me how polarizing it is. Some people seem to think that the only reason that a black actor would be cast would be to be "PC"...but what if he was the best actor for the job? Then so…

  • Given that young boys are a huge part of Bond's audience I can't imagine we'll ever get a R rated film for some time. I could imagine them releasing an "unrated" DVD version of a Bond film in the next few years but really it seems unlikely. The Bond…
