@Creasy47 - I tried to find the webpage for some guys I knew who needed, for lack of a better phrase, a fashion intervention. I tried a few times and couldn't find it. I'm guessing now that it was a very lengthy post (or series of posts) and not its…

Great to see Connery looking so happy and energetic. His face looks a little gaunt and he looks like he's aged a lot in the last little while but it cheers the heart to see him enjoying himself so much.

Glad to hear that he appears in good health...there were some concerns that his health was really starting to fail him. Now EON just needs to dump a wheelbarrow full of money at his feet so he'll attend the 50th celebrations... ;-)

Well, it's not a DVD/VHS comparison but there's the infamous butchering of OHMSS when it aired on TV... I remember a great site that did comparisons of the different editions (UE, SE) of the DVD releases. Really interesting just how much they cha…

Sigh... The viciousness with which some people view Barbara Broccoli is really sad. The need to somehow get people to believe that Cubby=brilliant and Babs=incompetent is so OTT that it really makes me question whether or not someone holding thos…

Not only was the shirt in the construction site chase (the "Madagascar shirt") custom made for CR but so was the patterned cloth. To get a shirt like that you're only option is a very expensive replica. Otherwise you'll have to get a generic pattern…

Double feature of GF and DAF on TV one Sunday afternoon when I was 11 or 12. They were the most amazing films I had ever seen and I had never seen films like them before - and Connery was instantly the man that I wanted to be like when I grew up. …

Thanks, @bigzilcho... I find that my opinions on the Bond films and the actors who play Bond have changed over the years...when I was younger I found certain scenes or lines cool but now they seem clumsy and obvious. No offence to the person who …

A little late to the party (been staying away to avoid SF spoilers) but it's nice to see such interesting and intelligent ladies here. I read an interesting article in the past about how "genre" forums and websites can be off-putting to women (eithe…

To me, what makes a moment "Bondian cool" is a little rare in the series - which is totally counter-intuitive! Many times in the films they "push" a moment too much either because of the actor (Lazenby was a bit too inexperienced, Dalton didn't h…

Interesting post - I sometimes wonder how much Bond is a part of a 13-year old guy's world now compared to when I was that age. I first became aware of Bond when there was a double-feature of GF and DAF on TV on Sunday afternoon when I was 12. Th…

There's something here that I don't seem to be seeing. Can those who honestly believe that a woman can't be both smart AND sexy please explain why they believe this? I can understand why people are saying that they want to see sexy women (just as wo…

Of course this may change after I see SF, but other than Craig returning my number one request for Bond 24 is to hire back Martin Campbell. To the producers - whatever he says, just say "Yes". :-)

I personally would have loved to watch Dalton in more films but I recognize that the general public wouldn't. Much as I love Dalton's portayal I don't think that the general audience would have warmed up to him much more if he had a third or even fo…

The pre-Moore ones are the ones I've seen the most...they would play a Bond film on TV every couple of months when I was around 13-14 so I saw the first few over and over (although they played some more than others). I couldn't get through a Moore f…
