  • I think Bond was about to tear the cables out of the 'atomic device' which would have either stopped it dead or contaminated Fort Knox for 57 years..!

  • I dug out my DVD of the original Star Wars recently. I haven't seen the film in years. I know it's not in HD or remastered, but i much prefer watching this to the SP-ED. I detest what Lucas did to his film. The original really does hold up well. …

  • Mathis1 wrote: » Bond confronts Pushkin! One of the finest scenes in the series! Pure Fleming! Marvellous stuff! Dalton is sublime! One of my favourite scenes of the entire series. Intense and brilliantly acted.
