  • I know EON are fond of current pop culture and movie trends. If Spielberg’s WEST SIDE STORY does well, I fear we’ll have a series of Bond musicals — no plot, just revue. I would just appreciate a new Bond film with M (whoever plays him/her) looking …
  • I've been hearing on news that it's not much good without the second dose in the prescribed timeframe. Some say yes, some say no. If it was so great, why bother with the second shot at all? Must have been part of the plan for a reason. And will …
  • News here in LA is that the average person (not older set, or required services people, etc.) should be vaccinated by some point in the Fall. If we're looking at a two-shot process, October may be a bit optimistic. But, looking at film release sch…
  • Only one for me (Bond movies don’t scare me). But I was 11 when I saw LALD, my first PG movie. So graduating from Disney to Bond, I must say the scarecrows in the poppy fields scared the heck out of me at first (during Rosie’s death) and I hid my yo…
  • So, RedNine, 90% of the planet feels it's safe. How did that work out for Tenet? I would think it's closer to theaters were open in most areas of the world but not everyone came back to theaters; perhaps THEY personally did feel safe? And in the U…
  • I understand the delay, though April may (again) be too optimistic. I sadly believe there will be at least one more delay. In the meantime, Eon or MGM (whoever) could extend a treat to Bond fans -- even for a price on streaming services -- showing a…

  • Definitely a personal decision, which should be based on what’s happening near you. Me, in Los Angeles, I’m happy they’re releasing Tenet and NTTD; it’ll get to me that much faster in blu ray. Down the road, when it’s safe, I’ll see it on the big sc…
  • I don't think they'll kill Swann off in the pre-credits sequence -- too predictable. But I expect by the half-way mark she'll be revealed as a fem-bot sent to kill Bond before he discovers he's in over his head regarding whatever plot they've got go…
  • Less MI6 at this point would probably be more. Would be interesting, though, if Fukunaga was able to fit in a mystery surrounding Q's cats. Just for a bit a synergy from Spectre.
  • No spoilers here. About a quarter of the way through FOREVER AND A DAY. Love it. So far, this might be my favorite Bond since the Fleming novels. Hope Horowitz keeps it up all the way through. Very pleased. TRIGGER MORTIS was solid but I think t…
  • I hear you, BT. Someone on AICN told me that M dies in Skyfall prior to the film's release. Grrrr!
  • What's this about Whoopie Goldberg performing the theme song?
  • I stand corrected on XXX. Thanks. But you can see that CGI wave going through films at the time. And there's noting wrong with it in the right amounts and the right execution. I didn't have an issue with the ending sequence on the plane as it fell …
  • Someone here had recently expressed that Tamahori was probably chosen to go a different (humorous) route after TWINE. Not exactly. I understand that DAD was a response to XXX with Vin Diesel and responses from some on the Internet that it had better…
  • Wow, little to no news on Bond 25 and everybody starts to turn on one another. The rats come for the coconut, and... [imitates metallic scuttering.] They fall into the drum, and after a month, you've trapped all the rats. But what did you do then…
  • I say Nolan takes the reins and brings back all of the actors from SP. The film picks up during the torture sequence where we find what we thought was the conclusion of SP was really all in Bond's head, a mental technique to pull himself out of the…
  • DELETED -- Darn thing posted a second time. "You only post twice, Mr. Bond."
  • Of Waltz, Mendes, Newman and Sedoux who would we be most dismayed to see return? For my money(penny): 1. Newman 2. Mendes 3. Seydoux 4. The Spanish Inquisition (Bet you didn't expect to see the Spanish Inquisition...)
  • I personally like DAD, along with many other Bond films. But contrary to your evaluation, I'm a smart-ass.
  • Interesting, that. And I agree talos7
  • Gustav Graves, I too find DAD entertaining, though far from perfect and a bit out there. But remember, in most of DC's tenure, the villain's lair serves no purpose other than to blow up moments after Bond appears (Hotel Perla De Las Dunas in QOS, B…
  • Perhaps, Dennison. But I call'em as I see'em. I was never the biggest Craig fan at first but admit that CR is probably the best Bond film to date. Can't count the number of times I've watched that one. (See, I'll admit when I'm wrong.)

  • Interesting lines of discourse. I see both MR and SP in the same camp, though they are worlds apart in execution -- they both are exercises in missed opportunity. MR actually had a great plot -- one clue led to another and another piece of the puz…
  • I signed on this morning to read about any (potential) developments on Bond 25. Instead, I'm served a smorgasbord of comments from people either suffering from some advanced form of PMS or at the very least, they're off their meds. Let's keep this…
  • So did they wrap the filming of Bond 25 yet?
  • I think it might be kind of cool to have Bond exposed to a mission before he is even assigned to it. And have the film segmented into three parts: Happenstance, Coincidence, and Enemy Action. The happenstance part would be where is happens across a…
