  • I wonder if getting a Bond film every 2 years is just a pipe dream for us. I'm no Hollywood insider, but it seems the entertainment business in general has grown very wary of saturating the market on a continuous basis. Look at the music biz (som…

  • "And if the series is riding high now, she gives Craig a lot of the credit. “He has allowed the audience to get a glimpse of the inner life of Bond. Bond doesn’t talk about his feelings very much, so everything that Daniel does he does through his …

  • Cool question. And one I often ask about musical artist (best consecutive releases, "best of's" don't count) and authors (best 3 consecutive novels). Anyway..... CR - QoS - SF would be my pick. But a close, very close, second would have to be FRW…
  • It's neck and neck, but I think I still prefer CR. They're both great Bond films though. Both sit in my top 5 easily. It kind of begs the question: will Craig ever do better than his first outing? It's gotta suck a bit to hit the ball out of the …
  • I agree that this probably isn't a topic for this forum (and yet, here I am anyway........go figure). But, to explain what I said about Jacko's music - just because a tune has a good beat and you can dance to it, doesn't make it a great composition.…
  • There's no "quite probably" about it, as far as I'm concerned. As for MJ's "talent", he will be remembered but his music will quickly fade from history. He was an important cultural figure to be sure, ground breaking in many ways, but as a song w…
  • I would love to take all the timeline/continuity lovers and have them watch the original Aeon Flux animated series or shorts (not so much the later series with the dialog). It would be fun to watch their minds explode while trying to wrap around tha…
  • From the question of whether the franchise should've "rebooted" sooner, to a debate about what the words "reboot" and "prequel" mean, to a debate on an overarching Bond timline, to the merits of AVTAK, all within 18 posts. Plus a speculation that…
  • If we ever give out an award for "The Thread Quickest to Jump the Rails", this one gets my vote. :-)
  • For all of Brosnan's shortcomings as an actor and his Bond outings (and there are more than a few, to be sure), there is one thing we can say about Brosnan's tenure as Bond: He left the franchise in better shape than he found it. Not every Bon…
  • I wouldn't mind a little more humor in the next few entries, but please god none of those lame puns and one liners. Humor should flow naturaly from the character and situation - something those older Bond films rarely got right. As we've seen, tha…
  • The big one is out there. It's only a matter of time..................Happy Friday everyone!! :-)
  • Not that any of this matters, but Bond wouldn't be much of a spy if it took him - with all of MI6's considerable resources behind him - over 2 years to track down one individual. Especially when he already has that person's phone number. In my job w…

  • Since sometimes the location is every bit as important as the drink itself, what's everyone's favorite drinking establishment? I'll be in London in a few weeks - any locals want to recommend their favorite pub?

  • Thanks for the tip, RC7. Our overall budget it pretty nice. It's probably our last trip for awhile, due to the pending family-making plans, so we're hoping to shoot the works a bit. Of course, that being said, the exchange rate is going to kill us.…
  • The exotic locations are hugely important to me. The globe-trotting is a big part of what makes a Bond film, a Bond film. As much as I loved Skyfall, I will say the lack of locations was bit of a letdown. I understand the budget (or lack thereof) pl…

  • Exactly. That's how I saw it. The real question for those who want to pick everything apart (which, by the way, is not me - I loved Skyfall), if Silva can do all this stuff remotely like blow up MI-6, escape from the incredible cage they had him …
  • Creasy47 wrote: @Quarrel, it's not as simple as that, though. Q even says that this was months/years (don't remember exactly which one he says) in the planning. Why have such a large plan as a 'simple escape plan'? He wanted all of it to happen. H…
