  • @Revelator Thank you for telling me what I might relate to. What we are actually learning though, is that you don't relate to Fleming's wife's anti-Amis rantings. She was a hot head. She and Ian were both kind of nuts. I relate to Ann in the se…
  • Is that Sean's likeness above?

  • She paid the price! Damn, she was my favourite I can still ogle her on the jury!
  • On last night's Survivor episode (CBS) one of the players, Haley (good looking brunette) fearing she might be voted out said, "I'd like to die another day" Maybe she's a Bond fan. Too bad for her though. The others voted to Live and let Die. S…
  • Both Hawks and Jackets die tonight. Oilers lose again and Rangers roll over Canadians. Now if you want to make money, bet the opposite. :P

  • I thought the new Get Smart was a blast. The Saint though was a whole different deal from the old Rog series. Still an OK effort but I didn't care, one way or the other about a sequel. Avengers 98 looked great I thought but fell a bit flat. I'm …
  • Yes the Cathy Gale Goldfinger nod was deftly done. I also noted it back in the Bond cultural references thread. I wonder, couldn't Steed have addressed Tara King at some point, with "ahh, a Christmas card from Mrs Peel. I didn't know she was a skie…
  • Yes origins can be tiresome, especially if the franchise has already been established in another format. Just jump right in! That's what Uncle did originally. We met Solo and Kuryakin as fully formed Uncle agents. Both Flemings books and the Eo…
  • @Birdleson I've seen Stones and Who multiple times, and Page&Plant the once, but never Clapton or Beck, probably because the Stones, Who and Zep have always had a big band concert appeal, as opposed to the more understated solo stagings of t…
  • Leafs were the ultimate horror show in the '80s, during the Ballard three-ring circus years. Circus was back for another extended run over the last decade or so, until this year, and the coming of Auston the saviour. Meanwhile Caps looking at a…
  • Btw I have ordered North American blu-ray of Series 5. Arrives in about a week. Good times with Steed and Peel again, and in full colour HD!
  • A sequel is quite possible even if Part One didn't do great box-office. The key is whether a scenario exists for a fresh approach to work. There are enough creative positives to be extrapolated from the first film to build on. If the first film…

  • Leafs might upend the league's number one team Will the Caps find a way to hold a lead and assert dominance over the young blue-and-white upstarts? Btw I am predicting Penguins to repeat as Cup champs They will beat the Predators in 5.
  • I'll have to watch that video all the way through Not only Clapton Page and Beck but also Stones Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts on drums, and Who drummer Kenny Jones, among others, circa 1983!
  • Get Smart 2008 Steve Carrell as Maxwell Smart and Anne Hathaway as 99, both dressed in formal attire, are working their way through Moscow sewers. Smart complains to 99 "You know what, I never saw James Bond in rats or poop, let alone rats and …
  • MooseWithFleas wrote: » @timmer - Earl Cameron is still going. 'Pinder' from Thunderball is 99 and turns 100 in August. Wow! Good catch. I think Louis Jourdan pushed into the 90's as well.
  • I can't believe he made it to 96. That's got to be the longest life of any Bond actor. Both Joseph Wiseman and Christopher Lee also pushed into the 90's. Making 90 is hardcore for anyone but 96, wow. Who knew he was destined to live so long, cons…

  • Beck with both Page and Clapton. That would have been quite the guitar show. ==re Beck last summer, was he touring any of the stuff from the Loudhailer album he put out last year with the two girls. I'm not sure Loudhailer blends with his other s…
  • I've been blasting through the Jeff Beck Alive +, album, released 2014. Its a real heavy, even Zeppelin-esque, trip down memory lane. He blends new material,older stuff and classic covers. A real good heavy blues-rock album, with a smattering of …

  • @BondJasonBond006 So another actress played Mrs Peel for the first two episodes of Series 4? So when did Rigg debut? In the 3rd episode?
  • Nice work @BondJasonBond006 What an episode! I don't think I ever saw that one, as I'm sure I would have remembered!
  • Enjoyable review @BondJasonBond006 Brings back memories. Back when the series aired on CBC I'm pretty sure I saw all the series 4-6 episodes. I've caught up with a few series 4 viewings recently as well. This episode does ring true as a classic.…
  • Right @BondJasonBond006 , via the magic of cinema (characters don't have to age in real time) there are truly only two Bond timelines. 1962 -2002 And 2006-reboot to 2015 The rest of it, is us fans jigging around with the films and having some f…
