  • YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE - "What does he collect? - "He collects death." No better words were ever written in a Bond novel. Yes, the first half of the book is travelogue, but the finale is brilliant. So creepy and gothic and dark and satisfying. A ver…

  • I have: - a batch of original scripts, - some toys from the '60s (007 pen, Goldfinger figure, Dr. No dragon tank) - a number of movie programs (remember those?) - a number of very valuable original posters The thing about the posters are, the…

  • You think the LIVE AND LET DIE boat chase is great? Well, read the original LIVE AND LET DIE script. The chase is even better in the script. That boat chase had some really wild (and funny) things in it that didn't make the final film.

  • It's the best Bond movie to show to someone who has never seen a Bond film. It has all that made Bond films fantastic two hour entertainments: - John Barry score, - Ken Adam design, - the real M, Q, and Moneypenny, - astonishing pre-title s…

  • He's not a James Bond. Impossible to watch his films as Bond films. He's a John McClane. An unsophisticated, crude cop. or He's Steve McQueen. One million dollars to anybody who can tell which is McQueen and which is Craig:

  • What was the fifth item in Bond's desk drawer in OHMSS? When Bond retires in OHMSS, he cleans out his desk. They are just props from previous films. We are clearly shown three of them: 1. Honey's knife from DR. NO 2. Grant's wrist watch from …
