Having grown up in the 1980's, I get a 60's feel in parts of LTK. Especially the underwater scenes. Bond feels like a good old-fashioned character, and definitely not like a Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. Dalton definitely is more Flem…

Tim Dalton is a class act, and would not say anything using terms like this. Tim does not suffer from jealousy of another actor in the part. This is clearly aimed at stirring up trouble, and clearly a fake story! For starters, some of the lines a…

That is part of the reason why I gave up on Bond. It is tiring hearing that the actor who really had the most authentic portrayal of Fleming's character as in the closeness to the novels, gets attacked for it. Cubby Broccoli even said so in his biog…

And talking of Bond film appreciation. Here is why I think Dalton is so good. In this Marilyn Manson interview at around the 2:10 minute mark, he says something which just cements why Dalton is very similar to him, as in the hate he gets, and Mr Mar…
