    Okay, great! Yes, with NTTD out for over a week now in Australia and most everywhere else, I do think it's time.

    Just want to see if the majority would be okay with these particular choices I'm thinking of:

    Dr. No and Blofeld (YOLT) both according to their first in-person, unobscured face scene. So no disembodied voice in the tarantula room or feeding Helga to the piranhas (both are great scenes). Rather, dinner with Dr. No and Blofeld introducing himself to Bond in YOLT.

    Kananga is really a background player in the UN scene. It's so brief and he isn't really involved in the scene in a remarkable way (unlike Khan bidding on the egg or Zorin the focus of MI6's discussion at Ascot). So I would propose the scene where we see Kananga entering with his squad and playing the tape.

    Similarly, I'd suggest going for Elektra appeasing the villagers as it's such a brief moment at the funeral.

    Trevelyn might be a controversial one, but I would propose the statue graveyard as it's more his villain entrance scene—the introduction of Janus, as opposed to Alec. Let me know what you all think.

    Graves is another tough one to decide. I would propose "London Calling" because it's not only a whole new face but a new persona being introduced here. But I feel this one could go either way so I'll defer to what you all prefer.

    And then I think Blofeld (SP) definitely ought to be at the table at the meeting in Rome.

    Yay or nay these, and I'll get this up and running!

    I agree with all your preferences here.

    Next month, when everyone has had a chance to see NTTD and also purchase it, we should do the films.

    Pre title sequences would be cool, or we could set up an elimination game for those.

    I'd love to rank all the pre-title sequences. That'd be great for the next round.

    Me too, can’t remember if this was done before at all

    Moving these posts to this thread. I could start a PTS elimination game and see whether others join. Or better, @Thunderfinger could start it since it was his suggestion (in the other thread).

    No, just go ahead if you want to. I will join in.

    I still maintain an actor’s elimination game would be interesting

    We have done it several times in the past, but it’s been a while.

    Should I set one up? With Craig s tenure completed, it seems appropriate to do it again.

    Or if it is your desire, you can do it, @Risico007 . Just don t start at 10 points. It will be over too soon.

    I think we could do a better "What If?" Elimination game... I know we've done one before that had a lot of good entries, but I'm thinking of a list like:
    • Lazenby, Savalas in OHMSS Followup DAF
    • Lazenby, Savalas, Ferzetti in OHMSS Followup YOLT
    • Dalton in Third Film, Property Of A Lady (POAL)
    • Dalton in Third Film, GoldenEye
    • Brosnan in Fifth Film, Casino Royale, Directed by Quentin Tarantino
    • Brosnan in Fifth Film, Casino Royale, Directed by Martin Campbell
    • Craig in NTTD, Directed by Cary Fukunaga, But He Survives
    • Craig in NTTD, Directed by Danny Boyle, And He Survives
    I know there are some similar entries, but I still think it could be fun with the minor differences between entries (like many people would be interested in a Lazenby followup to OHMSS, but would you want that entry to remain DAF, or be the more thematically appropriate YOLT?). Also, some smarter people than me could come up with a few more, and we'd have an interesting game on our hands, IMO.

    EDIT: Maybe in the future, if the community wants an Actor round this time.

    EDIT2: Or a PTS round.

    I like both ideas. (actors and updated 'What If')

    @NickTwentyTwo, I like this idea of a more specific "What if?" game. I recall the last one opened it up to interpretation what any actor's 3rd or 5th film might be, which wasn't bad but this would be a unique approach there. You could also consider James Brolin's Octopussy or Sam Neill's The Living Daylights. Even Sean Bean's GoldenEye. But that might be something for a whole separate game.

    Epilogues sounds great. Here are some other ideas:
    - Production design
    - Cinematography
    - Pre-title sequences

    As was suggested in the MI6 ranking thread, we could do a Production Design Elimination Game.

    I'd like to propose a suggestion for Best Scene Where the Film Title is Spoken by a Character



    The video above doesn't have the scenes fleshed out, but it serves to jumpstart your memory of these scenes I think.

    And a couple of additions/suggestions:
    QOS: "I told you everything you want to know about Quantum..."
    SP: "Spectre... it's name is Spectre..."
    NTTD: "Do you know what time it is? No? Time to die."

    Good idea! What about the palm print Walther in Skyfall? Or maybe that's not a gadget in that sense?
