A virus is an old plot anyway. OHMSS used it. MR had a form of it. MI2 used it and countless others have.

Well put, as always, Revelator. Any article that uses AVTAK and pinnacle in the same sentence is bound to not be taken seriously. I'm all for people defending things they believe in, especially bad moves but this goes pretty indefensible. Calling…

Yeah, Top Gun will be an interesting case. Part of the appeal of the original was the aerial action. Even today it's still pretty amazing. With technology having changed it will likely enhance such scenes, but with CGI so prevalent in everything, wi…

With all the focus on gun violence, I can see future Bond advertising and promotional material playing down the gun motif on the 007 logo, no more posing with a Walther on posters or promo shots and wouldn't be surprised if the gunbarrel was elimina…

While neither LALD or Kananga are among my favorites, Yaphet Kotto's performance scared me as a kid and still comes across as powerful now. Whether he's threatening Bond as himself or Mr. Big or his outburst at Solitaire, then his weird change to ch…

That first film got a lot of criticism at the time. Those included just a Cruise-starring film; the teamwork wasn't there (the original TV cast complained about and the press ran with it); Phelps being made a villain. But it really was a satisfyi…

Nice review, Pierce2Daniel. One thing occurred to me in reading it. Given how many films over the last 32 years have taken the "This time it's personal" approach, especially those that are hero/superhero-driven, does it make LTK actually seem les…

What a great 1-2 punch the pretitles and opening sequence of TLD were. It was really refreshing in '87 and is just as good nearly 35 years later. It's a somewhat scaled-down, but no less exciting teaser after years of overblown sequences with silly …

Like the reminder at the end of each film's credits, James Bond will return. Bond is a survivor and although I could see the character going away for a while amid this culture, he won't stay away for long. For one, the property makes money and someo…

I believe to add to the list, Connery sort of straightens his tie when Quarrel and Puss-Feller confront him in DN or maybe just touches it as he plots his move. Close enough. He may also straighten it and his cuffs after the dive into the boxes esca…

I remember the book, it was huge and vaguely remember the miniseries. Had no idea Dalton was in it either. In that photo, he looks like I picture he'd be if he was Bond for OHMSS or in the early '70s.

I know it's been discussed on these boards before, but there's a whole range of rejected LTK posters, most of which are much better than what we got. The former U.S. film magazine Premiere did a feature on them back when LTK came out in the summer o…

I think it's interesting to note Davi had supporting roles in two of the biggest hit films of the '80s, The Goonies and Die Hard, but the least successful, at least financially, Bond film of that decade as a lead. That said, I still find Sanchez …
