It will be interesting to watch where GF and other early Bonds end up in future rankings. I'd also be curious to see someone who becomes a fan from seeing NTTD or the next film following it (a decade from now for all we know) and seeing their reacti…

While the date is still here, at least in the eastern time zone of the U.S., I wanted to mark exactly 40 years ago tonight seeing FYEO for the first time. Any time a new Bond film comes out it's special, but this one marked the first new one that ca…

Again, another by-product of our modern lives and the access to technology. Share your thoughts, wanted, unwanted or whatever. Everybody wants and can have a say. But the beauty of it is we can ignore it just as well, which is what I try to do. Ther…

Good point on Kamal. A greedy villain willing to allow innocent people to die in working with Orlov is more cold-blooded than the generic billionaires who wanted to destroy the world to start their own races, for example.

I am a fan who went through the days when you were lucky to get a tidbit on the latest production from a monthly sci-fi magazine. Now I try to stay spoiler-free, so, yes the culture is different. People want everything up-to-date and they want it ye…

No, Willie is part of what drags ToD down for me. You've got a strong, dark story and a kid sidekick for that, so why add in a screaming fish-out-of-water character except a romantic interest was a necessary part of films back then. Between her a…

I do love the DAF score, especially the examples given above. Back in the pre-VCR days, I would listen to my uncle's 8-track of the film and it just conjured up a really exciting way of thinking about the film and proves how valuable he was to the f…

I go to James Bond movies because of, well, James Bond. It used to be the visits to Q and Felix popping up were added highlights. But I sure didn't miss Q or Moneypenny in CR or QoS and I wouldn't miss them in future films. It reminds me of sever…

The Internet is so much fun with sites like that. Where to start? The writer claims MR and DAD were among the worst received films in the series, but doesn't bother to clarify whether he's referring to critical and fan reaction or to box office. …

The Waltz Blofeld is an interesting case, isn't it? You have the most iconic Bond villain who really hadn't been portrayed to his potential in the film series. So they get him back, which was intriguing. You've then got Waltz, the actor who set t…

It's interesting: Although TND is a basic Bond has to stop megalomaniac to avert WWIII scenario, it moves so fast and has fun action sequences it makes up for that, whereas TWINE tries to do something fresh in its story approach but ends up missing …
