  • This is such a bad idea on so many levels. You don't want to dilute the Bond franchise by having some old, old Bond on tv, when you're going to introduce a newer Bond on the big screen. Plus, who is exactly the audience? An older audience isn't w…

  • Thanks, @CommanderRoss for your comments. I believe you misinterpreted what I was saying. I don't believe the US should be the world's policeman, it should be a shared responsibility of many countries. The US has more than 800 military bases arou…

  • 'Jackie Brown' and the lovely Pam Grier. "My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass."
  • I'll take the 1930's as the BEST decade for movies. So many classics that have stood the test of time. Just a small sampling: Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, City Lights, M, Modern Times, King Kong, All Quiet on…
  • Hitchcock was wonderful. His obsession with casting blondes with a smoldering almost regal presence was key to many movies success. I wonder if anyone has done in-depth research on why. I'd say Grace Kelly, Janet Leigh, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint…
  • Mere pikers, every mothers sons of you. What was the most dangerous stunt of all? What stunt would Bond risk his life that none of us could do? What was the one stunt that sends shivers up your spine just to think about it? Easy answer. Beddi…
  • One of the best cars I've ever driven was the '74 Monteverdi Palm Beach. The detailing was outstanding and the handling was superior. Price was $78K(at the time) new and a little too steep for me. Enjoy.
  • Great looking Mustang. I've had a '65 convertible and '69 fastback in the past. Chevrolet is re-introducing a Camaro convertible in 2017-640 hp and a 10 speed automatic. It will be a BEAST.
  • Jobo...Jobo...You're the funny one. I don't know what country you live in, but the chances are 100% that you have lobbyists in the U.S. seeking more support for you and your buddies. And if your country is suffering a financial crisis, blame your …
  • Thanks, Jobo, but you are sadly mistaken. I've been in most of the European democracies numerous times and dealt with political and military personnel. I would submit that the U. S. treats it's 'less fortunate' better than most countries. And whi…

  • I wonder what the original inhabitants of the Americas would call 'assimilation' by the white invaders from England, France and Germany? How about South Africa? Australia? The U.S.A. was founded on 'freedom FROM religion', hypocrits that we are…
  • While I don't think the federal govt. should dictate everything as regards education, this notion of letting local school districts control everything is ridiculous. It's the same states(Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, etc.. that have lowest ranked …

  • An interesting parallel is developing, in that party bosses will not accept the will of the people. In 1968, as the anti-Vietnam War movement was growing, Sen. Gene McCarthy announced his candidacy for President against then Pres. Lyndon Johnson. …
  • Good points, Dalton. Repubs have short memories and feel all the world's problems started when an African American was elected President. But they have little legacy to brag about their own kind. Bush Jr. was so afraid of his friends he hasn't at…

  • What's with wanting these old actors/actresses? Jane Fonda is pushing 80 and would add nothing. She may need a walker or hover-round. Malcolm McDowell and Anthony Hopkins(he's Hannibal Lector forever) are in the same old boat. I'm all in on a ma…
  • "Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?"
  • There was an excellent documentary made about The Eagles a couple of years ago. It's 3 1/2 + hrs. long but thoroughly entertaining and engaging. Although Don Henley was always considered the angry one, Glenn Fry shows his darker side especially wi…
  • I do wish the school yard language was dialed back a bit, as there are probably younger fans who might be a tad offended by such things. Moving on... I'm curious where do the fans here buy their Bond films when they're released? In the U.S., Ta…
