I remember when Tori Amos' album The Beekeeper came out, a music critic wrote (referring to the fact that her best albums were the ones she recorded under a stressful situation in her life): "The only way we can get this woman to ever make a good al…

Lalo Schifrin composed the scores for the acclaimed Argentine film Tango and the Rush Hour films (which I remember being effective scores), so the pushing 70 bit is no excuse, neither is the "anything decent since the 80's" bit. Another composer …

The only Bond composer that I think did a below average job was Michael Kamen, IMO. I quite like the funky scores for LALD, TSWLM, and FYEO. I even like Eric Serra's cold score for GE. Yes, they sound very dated and ventured into places Barry would …

I thought it was very good! I am a huge fan of the 1960s Mission: Impossible television series and I have to say Brad Bird managed to do what the three previous directors failed to do properly: combine the team work/heist movie aspect of the series …

Yes. He is a great Batman (the very best live action rendition of the Dark Knight, though with the other contenders that ain't saying much) and I am sure he could have made a great Bond. He would have been a safer choice than Craig at least, though …

I want to play the GE remake just to see the changes they did to the story. Some of them sound pretty interesting, such as having Trevelyan be revealed as the villain AFTER the tank/train chase.

@dragonsky: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was a TV series by MGM that ran from 1964 to 1968. It based on an original concept named Solo by Ian Fleming. It dealt with American secret agent Napoleon Solo and his Russian partner Illya fighting an evil SPECTR…

I actually found this at the IMDb... "Richard Maibaum's original idea for the ending was a giant boat chase across Lake Mead with Blofeld being pursued by Bond and all the Las Vegas casino owners who would be sailing in their private yachts, which…
-
Does anyone have more details on how Maibaum's original Lake Mead climax in Diamonds Are Forever would have been? I've always been curious about it, as well as his original fjord climax for TSWLM.

"Bloody awful..." not the way I would describe any Bond film, but AVTAK is one of my least favorite Bond movies. I think there's a good Bond film trying to get out of there (a nice unnoficial adaptation of John Gardner's Licence Renewed), burried be…

Yes, but it's funny how the age factor played in the franchise. Roger Moore is older than Sean Connery, yet seems about 10 years younger in Live and Let Die than Connery did in Diamonds Are Forever.

I loved the design they used for the gunbarrel in Quantum of Solace, despite it being played on fast foward. Didn't mind the Brosnan ones either with the exception of that bullet in DAD, what the...

She simply does not wish to talk about it. Don't feel so bad though, because she also doesn't give any interviews about The Avengers either, though I remember reading how she doesn't think much of the show and finds rewatching episodes today "boring…

Max Von Sydow could have been the best Blofeld perhaps had he been in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. That has always been a fantasy of mine. But we can't compare his performance in NSNA (as well as the Blofelds from FRWL and TB) to the three actor…
-
The entire middle act of the picture needed tightening, Moore was too old, and the action sequences were not exciting in execution despite the good ideas behind them, but all I ask is that May Day stays evil to the very end and actually gets to figh…

Quoting dragonsky: from where is that video?can you give us more info about it? Thank you for quote instructions! The video is from Return of the Man From UNCLE, a 1983 reunion TV-movie for the 1960s spy show The Man From Uncle (also based on…
-
@JBFan626: Yes, I was also impressed by how good Lazenby looked in The Return of the Man from UNCLE, better than Roger Moore and Sean Connery that same year. He could have played Bond from 1969 to the mid-80s. One more reason to hunt down and destro…
-
George Lazenby played Bond for a few minutes in 1983, so if we want to be technical, we got Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and George Lazenby playing Bond in the same year: 1983. Add to that: All three of them played Bond in franchises originated by Ian…

To the person who said You Only Live Twice is the one Bond film where Bond doesn't drive, I don't think he drives a car in Moonraker either. I guess the Gondola and the Q-boat would count as driving. Bond never carries a gun in Moonraker. Also, B…
-
The 1970s, mainly due to the Tom Manckiewicz trilogy of terror and Moonraker. The early 70s in particular seem to be my least favorite Bond era. If I were alive and attending theaters back then, I might have lost my interest in the series after TMWT…

I envy whoever hasn't ventured into The Avengers yet. Honor's last season (Season 3) and Diana's first season (Season 4) are the best places to start, and I hear the new DVD sets are a must-purchase.
-
I wasn't around back then, but I watched a Siskel and Ebert countdown of worst films of 1985 and A View to a Kill was there. Gene Siskel said something similar to "I really hope A View to a Kill will be the last Bond movie starring Roger Moore, who …

Thank you, I was already part of the old MI6 forums under the same name. Yes, the "Bond is already Bond" explanation is reassuring, but then again that's exactly what people would tell me last time. :D I looked through this new forum and saw no g…
