Welp. Good news for some, I suppose. Me, I despise Amazon and its founder so I'll stick with the blu rays. I'm a big fan of physical media anyway. Not just for Bond but for a lot of other things.

Not my favorite Hitchcock film (nothing can defeat Vertigo), but it's up there. My best friend had only seen the goddamn late '90s shot-for-shot remake but never the original, so he wanted to check it out. He ended up falling asleep just after Mario…

It’s quiet around here. Think I’ll leave this here and see what happens, that is, if anything happens. :-??

@StirredNotShaken is probably taken. James Bond is just wrong, in my opinion. That's how I like my Vodka Martinis.

That's it, I'm changing my username here. Everybody confuses me with Thunderfinger 😭😂 No, it's okay. If anything, it's a compliment.

I think he was complaining, @Creasy47, but good on you for turning it around like that. I will miss Craig a megaton, he’s second only to Connery for me. I am at the same time excited about the future of the film series. Bring it on, and hopefully so…

In the fully electric department, I offer a wild car(d). The Pininfarina Battista. It has a $2,000,000 price tag. Doesn’t get much more luxurious. Is that enough for you?

My best friend has only seen GE and DAD (shudder) out of all the Bond films. So I showed him my favorite, Casino Royale (2006). He loved it. CR54: 1 DN: 5 FRWL: 4 GF: 4 TB: 3 CR67: 2 YOLT: 3 OHMSS: 5 DAF: 1 LALD: 2 TMWTGG: 4 TSWLM: 1 …

If you’re referring to the receptionist from The Ocean Club - Christina Cole is the name of the actress. Good call. Seems like there are numerous strong candidates that could be a new Moneypenny. M and Q are a little harder, especially Q.
-
My picks. Although I’d be perfectly okay with Fiennes/Harris/Whishaw/Kinnear staying on, I doubt they would return. So anyway: M: Hugh Bonneville Moneypenny: Rose Byrne Q: Rowan Atkinson I’m not sure who for Tanner, though. I think it’s pos…

If this thread has been resuscitated, I wonder if the thread title should be changed so as not to get people’s hopes up or anything. He’s obviously not coming back.

I’ve said in the DB5 thread that I’d like to see Bond drive a DB11 and am surprised it hasn’t popped up yet in one of the films. Also, Bond driving a brand new Lotus Esprit would be a nice nod to TSWLM and FYEO. Nice, nice car.
-
I don’t see why Bond shouldn’t have his Walther, but yeah, the DB5 needs to go away for a long, long while or better yet, forever. I’d prefer more focus on other Aston Martin models, especially the DB11, or perhaps a Bentley or two. Especially as an…

Finished Diamonds Are Forever. It was good, though nowhere near as good as FRWL or DN. I’m updating my ranking of all the Fleming books I’ve read so far, not just because of DAF, but because, the more I thought about it, DN was just insanely good…

Just because we don't see this English rose enough in this thread.

Nara Leão - Dez Anos Depois The finest bossa nova/samba album ever made next to Getz/Gilberto. She is queen of this music (sorry not sorry, Astrud).

1. Casino Royale (my absolute favorite Bond film) 2. From Russia With Love 3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 4. Skyfall If you include Thunderball at #2, Dr. No at #4 and Goldfinger at #6, that'd be my top 7.

Finished Dr. No today. Fantastic read. Now I'm going to read Diamonds Are Forever. Should be interesting going from the villain being offed by bird shit to an insulting, absurd take on us Americans. And people always say Fleming's book were harder e…

Not wild about Moonraker to put it mildly, but the song is great. Whenever they turned to Shirley, it worked out brilliantly. Live and Let Die is a bit of a clumsy entry but I'll be goddamned if that doesn't have possibly the very best theme in t…

Deacon Blue - Raintown (1987) An elegiac and beautiful sophisti-pop love letter to Glasgow. Most write these guys off as Prefab Spout wannabes, but I hear so much more here.

Domino wins. My heart, anyway. Doubt I'm alone. One of my favorite aspects of Thunderball. My other favorite thing about Thunderball. Flawless victory.

They finally came in the mail! They’re more beautiful than I could have imagined and they smell wonderful. Nothing like old books. I plan to buy more from the same helpful guy in Canada I ordered these from. Just started reading Dr. No. We’ll see w…

Lemme think here, Thunderball vs You Only Live Twice... The choice is obvious.

Using 'thunder' again in a Bond film title isn't a big deal, considering how often they've used 'die', 'live' or 'kill'.
