The Austin Powers movies are nothing more than good, stupid fun. Nothing wrong with that, so long as it's in small doses. I think, if you're in the mood for brainless laughs, they're well worth watching. Just be warned: you may never look at the …

Thanks for posting this. I still get the impression that he gets a little sick of all the Bond questions (who wouldn't, really?), but by and large he seems to be more at ease with everything. Seems like a good guy. A decent actor and a much better B…

Speaking of TV shows, can anyone recommed a good series in the Bond/spy/thriller genre? I see Netflix carries a BBC series called "MI-5". I'm thinking of checking it out. Anyone know if it's any good?

Why do so many people think there could be no sexual tension between Bond and Moneypenny once they've slept together? Sexual tension does not require some kind of purity or abstenence. Anyone who has had sex with a woman friend, only to agree aft…

I can't think of a worse movie to introduce Bond to the uninitiated than Dr. No. So, no, you are not a bad parent. You're just a bad Bond promoter. :-) Especially for the young ones, you have to give them the quick-cutting action-packed films th…

My point, or rather "controversial opinion", is that the Bond movies are better than the Bond books - in large part because a great deal of the writing in the books is of rather poor quality whereas the movies are almost always well made. It was …

Well, sorry, but you guys are saying nothing to disprove my point. I did say Fleming's work was enjoyable (as pure, guilty pleasure entertainment). But it's not art. And it’s not great writing just because you like the character or are entertained b…

I just hope they put to rest the whole M talking to Bond in the field through a earpiece thing. I love Skyfall and the entire Craig era, but it's time to give that bit a rest. Time to have Bond in the field, on his own, with nothing but his own guil…

I’m skeptical about whether that would work. The film version of Bond – and especially Craig’s Bond – is far too much of a loner, and far too self-sufficient, to have other people around the flat. Might be a good idea for the next re-boot however.

C’mon now mates. This is a thread for controversial opinions, isn’t it? So let’s have some fun with it. Truth be told, I was only half-serious about my theory, but I do think I can put up a pretty good case for it. First, some disclaimers: 1) I h…

I've been reading all the Flemming Bond books, in order, for the first time. Although I'm not yet done with the entire series. So here's one opinion, although I'm not sure how controversial it is: Taken as a whole, the movie Bonds are better than…

@Matt_Helm Sorry, and no offense intended, but you simply could not be farther off the point. Let's count it back. 1) Bond's bullet fragments - obtained from the guy they know stole the hard drive - are traced to a hired gun named Patrice. Bon…

Yes, because the last thing we want is to discuss how to prevent tragedies like this from happening. Good grief. I'll stay out of this thread from now on, if only to save myself the frustration of dealing that kind of nonsense.

Sad, but how can anyone be surprised? Remember the big discussion we had after the Batman movie shooting earlier this year? I said then that something like that would happen again, and soon. And so it did. Because that's what we've become here in t…
