  • I'll get the easy one out the way first - TSWLM > DAF; whilst I always have an immensely enjoyable time watching all of DAF, guiltily love Charles Grey as Blofeld, and find it the funniest Bond film ever (both thanks to Tom Mankiewicz's dialogue …
  • I've felt for a long time that Željko Ivanek would make a wonderful Bond villain. He's a Slovenian-American character actor who has worked mainly in American television since the 1990s (at present he has a lead role in Madam Secretary, and i…

  • Thank you all for the warm welcome!

  • I can't believe I forgot him @bondjames - he's great playing a character who is essentially comic relief; it's a real contrast to his performance as Trevelyan. And the Arrow disc is well worth the money as the remastered picture quality and the n…
  • Ronin (1998) I unashamedly love this film and watching it last night made me really wish EON would have gone against the de-facto 'no American directors' rule and tipped John Frankenheimer to do a Bond film. Everyone rightly raves about the tw…
  • Hi everyone. I've been a Bond fan since my dad bought me Thunderball on DVD and seeing the chateau fight as a child some years ago. I've recently finished a Bondathon and thought now was a good enough time to join. I'll defend Diamonds Are Forever u…
