It's a shame re no commentary on SP as Sam's commentary for SF was very good. He ploughed through, it relaying tons of relevant insights. He carried the ball the whole way. Compare with some commentaries that are sparse, riddled with lame jokes, i…

The answer to this question was for a long time a slam-dunk, but then came the Sam Smith horror and suddenly Madge was only 2nd worst. There is no 3rd worst . The other opening themes are all quite good. Edit Actually there is a 3rd worst. That …

I think Craig plays Bond just fine. Quite well in fact. I've come to realize, that what I don't quite love about his films, are the movies themselves ie., the personal dramas and other touches that filmmakers such as Haggis, Forster, Logan and Me…

Two chapters into Steve Coles new Young Bond, Red Nemesis, 4th in the Cole series. Bond spends some quality time with Aunt Charmian in the early going here. Bond is on leave from Fettes. He is a pretty formidable teenager. I think we are looking at…

If we are making bets, I still say Craig is a lock for B25. He could very well be all but unofficially confirmed at this point. He did make clear back in 2015 that he wanted nothing to do with Bond for a good long time. A good long time has gone by…

Here's the National Post article I was referencing a few posts back. She cites some Mirror reporting as source, and crafts her own take from there. Despite the anonymous sourcing from the Mirror, the broader extrapolated analysis suggesting Craig…

I've read every continuation novel from Gardner forward, upon initial release, including the recent Young Bonds, MP Diaries, Faulks and successors. I've enjoyed them all. They are all quite readable, but certainly requiring critique considering the…

@barryt007 Same to you for alerting us to her plight in the first place! The above was the email that she sent out to each donor. Here's the latest tally from the GoFundMe site. Emergency Gofund me for Lana Wood $29,635 of $10k goal from 485…

The new Blondie album (2017) is real good. It's got almost a throwback sound. The second track, Long Time (new single) reminds immediately of Heart of Glass. Long Time (official video) Vintage Blondie. Debbie Harry is among hottest blo…

Bond is at his smartass best in GF. The verbal barbs tossed at Oddjob are relentless. Gets some good ones in at Auric too. I think this one below, is in the movie, but it could have been lifted from Fleming's pages. Edit: it's from the book.…

TomCruise in The Mummy 1 * out of 5. This is one the worst films I've seen, which is surprising as Tom usually delivers entertaining fare. Not this time.The film is pure tedium. Headache inducing even, with all the cgi-generated headsplitting act…

I've managed to scrounge up a borrowed set of Series 4 ( the first Rigg season in b&w) on DVD. After I burn through that I may have to spring for the Series 2,3&6 on DVD. I'd rather buy blu-ray. In fact I am happy to buy blu-ray, as it look…

Emma Peel is awesome! The smoothest, smartest female action agent ever! Love the little sports car she tools around in too. Never mind the catsuits - that voice! I could listen to her talk all day.

I've only ever seen Series 4,5 and 6. CBC ran all three in heavy syndication. I will be delving into the Blackman seasons in the near future. I'd like to get blurays, but it seems Series 5 is the only North American blu-ray release. So I will prob…

I just completed the Series 5 blu-ray, which as a bonus also included the first episode of Series 6, which bids farewell to Mrs Peel and introduces Tara King. What a touching finish, as Steed and Peel say their goodbyes. Bond again takes away anoth…

I think I prefer the '50s Bonds, only because Bond was fresh and finding his literary stride. The entire canon though, is of course excellent. I know this because I keep re-reading them. The collection, is rather one Fleming whole, that thrilled …

I read the Shirley Eaton auto-bio . Don't think there are a lot of us out there. Then again, who knows I found it at a used bookstore. Not a bad read. She writes a lot about Rog Moore, like a real lot about Roger Moore. Almost to the point of "h…
