  • Ovie is a little past prime. There is no obvious go-to leader on that team in prominent role. Penguins do look like the team to beat. Ducks could be tough though. That would be a helluva final. Penguins vs Ducks.
  • Caps Penguins game 5 should be real Interesting. Crosby looks like he'll be back, as he was taking full practice today And Ovie was dropped to 3rd line with Lars Eller and Tom Wilson. Burakovsky to top lin with Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie. Ca…
  • The new Deep Purple, Infinite, 2017. It's loud and heavy. There is no mistaking the distinctive Purple sound. 9 new songs plus a cover of the Doors Roadhouse Blues. Purple gives the subwoofers a good workout!
  • I am very excited for the new Baywatch film. Should be the movie of the year. I am serious, in an entertainment event sense. I'm counting the days! Eon might want to consider the director ( if Mendes bails for some reason) scriptwriter, and a c…
  • Just for the record​, when awards were being discussed here for correct predictions, about 1000 pages ago, I predicted the following. 1. Craig returns 2 Mendes returns 3. B25 picks up where SP left off with continuation riffing on Fleming's Castl…
  • It is terribly stressful. Many of us lie awake at night, wondering how the steering wheel switched sides during the 6 year interval between CR and SF. One of the greatest mysteries, enigmas of the Bond cinematic universe. Alas, never to be resolve…
  • They should have put it on the left-hand side again. Would have been good for at least 100 pages of discussion. I'm detecting a right-side bias, maybe a Sam Mendes anti-CR bent too!

  • I can't remember, but what side was the steering wheel on in Spectre? That wheel moves around.
  • Updating my list to include SP. I'll tuck Seydoux-Swann in at #24. I do appreciate Seydoux as Swann, and have seen many of her other movies, as a result of her Bond role, but I can't put her ahead of any of the others. Her best scene was her sex…
  • I would love to see some modern Bond lit, stories set in the present, but absolutely not from Deaver. He actually did give Bond a pc bent. It was frightening. Very odd to read, plus he obsessed with twists and turns, like he was writing a whodunni…
  • Leafs will be a powerhouse next year and for several years. These young stars they have are almost dominant now. Austin Matthews, William Nylander, Mitch Marner and Morgan Reilly. That is a very potent core. Playing the seasoned Capitals fully …

  • I recently burned thru complete Uncle I watched the complete series in order starting with the colour pilot and the first season b&w episodes, which were real good. But peak Uncle is really Season 2. The series moves to colour and is in full s…
  • Caps I think should put this away in Game 6. Just my hunch. They always seem to grab the lead. Stretching it or making it hold up, seems to be their problem. The Kadri hit was legal but barely. It was no trip. But still,the league is trying to …
  • He might if he knows its the end though. The capper to his Bondage! All tied off with a bow.
  • It's a total in-joke too, because unless you follow fan message boards and discussions, one wouldn't be aware of the uproar. I found very little talk on the matter, in the workplace or at socal and family gatherings. Imagine....and that steering w…
  • The way to get Craig back for two more films I think is to pitch him on both now, as a package deal. I think he is in for 25, with Mendes probably not far behind, but lay out the broad strokes and timetable for 26 now. That way he can both plan and …
  • If Mendes directs, the DB5 will be back. It's a running gag with him, so I'm afraid we are stuck with it, but surely once Mendes moves on, we can let it go I did find it funny though when Q told Bond, that about all he managed to salvage from the…
  • @waverly how much did Paluzzi's work in the Uncle film or even the tv episode she was in, influence the Bond producers decision to hire her for TB?

  • Season 10 was fun and quirky XFiles, but it wiped out all that had been built up over 9 tense seasons of adventure, mystery and discovery. And worse, it was so obviously a full-on, after the fact, not remotely planned in advance, retcon. The mot…

  • There has never been any doubt in my mind that Craig was going to continue, however a lot dicier is whether two more pictures can be squeezed out of him. Seems like no, but still maybe, if they can possibly outline the broad strokes well in advance …

  • The Bruins is bold pick, as they've lost the last two games, but I think they are the better team, but these playoff teams are all so good, it often comes down to who plays harder. I do think the Leafs are done. Caps are usually good for at least…
  • I predicted 3 of 4 last night. Perfect but for an Oilers overtime goal. Lucky not smart mind you. Anyone could get 2 out of 4. Tonight, Caps and Bruins win
  • Ahh yes, the famous Cybernauts.
