  • Terence Young - FRWL is my favorite Bond film and DN sits somewhere in my Top 10. I'm not a fan of TB, which felt like Young was on auto-pilot (he handed it over to Peter Hunt, who had to save the film in the editing room). I should also mention tha…

  • Dalton always came off as a guy people wouldn't want to mess with, particularly in his second movie. Maybe he's not as convincing in fisticuffs, but he'll never look as ridiculous as Craig's floating head on the stuntmen in SKYFALL and SPECTRE. I…
  • Here's some encouraging news about U.S. citizens' response to the ridiculous (and, of course, dangerous) anti-lockdown protests: https://news.yahoo.com/yahoo-news-you-gov-coronavirus-poll-most-americans-reject-antilockdown-protests-124259347.html
  • Respectfully, @DarthDimi , that's not what's being reported. Based on an analysis by Johns Hopkins (not a rumor or "twisted statistics"), Belgium has the highest death rate -- number of deaths scaled to the size of a population -- in Europe at 13.4%…
  • Couple of things that surprised me. Partway through the feed, Brosnan recalls that he actually signed a contract to do TLD, which I don't think he's ever said in interviews (correct me if I'm wrong). I know there is a photo of him signing with Brocc…
