  • LTK opened July 14, 1989, three weeks after the final episode of Miami Vice aired. The eighties had a distinctive look and sound. Regardless, a good Bond film.
  • Irrespective of what is happening in American politics, my hope is the next Bond will focus on British interests and very little on American. I realize the politics of the world at large will always be in the background, but that's where I hope it s…

  • No, I am not addressing your comment.
  • Don't like a poster or their continual gripes, then skip and move on to the next post. They don't need to continually be put down.
  • Ralph Fiennes in Conclave. Well done, well acted, quite slow, repetitive, and the payoff doesn't pay off. The end should have been the beginning.
  • @mtm - Why would I think the writers might cook up fictionalized versions of Trump, Putin, Musk, and the war in Ukraine? According to you, they've never done that, which doesn't square with your agreement of the following: The appeal of Bond isn’…
  • A lot has been written in various threads about sexism, misogyny, objectifying women, disposable women, and Bond having casual sex with multiple partners. Often when photos are posted of possible Bond girls, they are young and dressed seductively, s…
  • Right. She was 51, four years older than Craig. Point made. No need to go down that road again.
  • Trump, Putin, Musk, and the Ukraine war will be in the news daily for the next four years. Most likely longer. I don't need a Bond film dishing out more of that crap.
  • Juror #2, which may be Clint Eastwood's last film. It's a good film, well made, with timely ideas. But nothing so thought provoking that it stayed with me.
  • Isn't it time a younger Bond has a relationship with an older woman?
  • Hmm! What on earth could Bond do that won't involve politicians, billionaires, and ongoing wars? Maybe that was the enjoyment on the Connery series. The stories weren't ripped from the headlines. As it is, for the next four years we're going to get …
  • As much as I like Bullitt, is this a film that needs to be remade or have a sequel? Why not a modern day San Francisco detective who may remind of us Bullitt? Come up with an edgy name and get on with it. Maybe he works in the same precinct as Bulli…
  • Artists have a period during which their flame burns brightest. I feel Spielberg has moved beyond that period. He doesn't make bad films, but his later films aren't as engaging for me. I feel he has become the Tom Hanks of directors. Nice and safe. …
  • It is my understanding Bond 7 is currently a junior drama student in high school.
  • Finding the right actor to replace Craig is routine for EON. They are used to it. They will find someone. Die hards will cling to Craig. The rest will like the new guy within five minutes of his appearance on screen. Like Connery, Craig was a great …

  • Nothing Easy Ever Is The Blood of Two Suns No Promises No Return Nothing Ventured Nothing Slain Shadowman Winner Take All No Promises No Regrets From the Shadow of the Phoenix Without Fear of Favour Gold Light of Day
  • Unless Cameron made the film by himself, it seems those sorry bastards weren't that sorry after all.
  • Bond influences Bourne and then Bourne influences Bond? Or Batman. Or Hitchcock. My hope is Bond can move forward without the series borrowing from or being influenced by other films. Similarities are one thing, but I prefer seeing a Bond that looks…
  • If GW truly wants to experiment with the Bond character, then he is not the one to helm this franchise.
  • For me, the Craig series has never been able to live up to CR. I attribute a lot of that to the fact that Fleming material made up the bulk of the plot rather creating original stories with a bit of a Fleming thrown in here and there. Though Conn…
  • What is common place now was daring and pioneering back in the day. There is so much going on in this film that it requires numerous viewings. It's one of my favorites. It's so audacious.
  • Bond the character will enter the public domain, but not the elements identified with EON Bond films: gun barrel opening, 007 graphic, music. Even with Connery in the role in NSNA, the absence of those elements diminished the film. It's possible for…
  • Has Craig become the new Connery? No one can replace him? Might we see the next Bond failing to carry on, only to see Craig come back for one final film with a guaranteed contract of millions? But Bond died. No sweat. Can always get around that. …

  • Pompous probably goes for anyone who's an amped up fan of anything.
  • Domino is lovely, but Fiona would be fun. Fiona.
