  • @patb It doesn't. It is simply a distraction technique. In my opinion, a terrorist of one hue is no better than another, but in this instance the relativist stance serves to aid the argument of those who, for whatever misguided reason, have chosen t…

  • @ToTheRight I think he also impersonates Farrell. It says so somewhere in his website.
  • I think this fella has a look of the young Sean Connery about him: https://www.jamesmartini.com/james-bond-sean-connery

  • My enthusiasm for the earlier Bond films ebbs and flows. For example, having always liked TLD, watching it the other week I found myself underwhelmed. As a counterbalance, I was never a big fan of TB, but now find myself enjoying it more with each w…

  • @bondjames I think I'll watch DN, FRWL and OHMSS over the coming days. Funnily enough I've enjoyed the PTS on QoS, SF and SP but just cannot get on with the films themselves. The_Donald I do my own spy thriller thing, so can tread water quite hap…

  • @bondjames That's an interesting question. Unfortunately, since seeing LALD in the cinema when it was first released, I have only ever been interested in the Bond films. I so wanted to like QoS, SF and SP, but I felt let down by them all. Watching S…

  • Controversial I know, and I have no intention of causing offence, but I'm saddened to say I have no interest in the forthcoming Bond film. IMHO although CR was a good (yet overlong) movie, the franchise has deteriorated in terms of the quality of it…

  • @Major_Boothroyd. Here in the UK there is a TV channel called 'Talking Pictures'. It shows many classic comedies from the thirties onwards. It was on this channel that I first saw 'The Case of the Mukkinese Battle Horn'. If you haven't already seen …
  • Good Question! If I must pick just one then I think I'd stay with my favourite Bond movie OHMSS.
  • Ah, I am not alone then! I'm still not convinced about the model 'kidnap' story. I she see she has told her story in a Sunday newspaper. Apparently she has hit back at critics who said she was smiling for photographers during the front garden 'shoot…
  • I like Spike Milligan. I was an avid viewer of his Q series.
  • @Major_Boothroyd have you read 'The Groucho Letters'? If not I suggest you find a copy. It's many years since I read the book but it is wonderfully funny.
  • Perhaps the wrong place to post, but has anyone seen the story of the young girl who was 'abducted' during a modeling assignment in Italy? Did anyone see the footage of her in her front garden? Far from being traumatised at being held captive, she w…
