  • The longer hair doesn't suit Craig as Bond. It accentuates the blondness of him - nothing wrong with blonde hair, but when his hair is shorter, more attention is focused on his face and steely eyes. In that picture above he looks like a cross betw…

  • Interesting how David Picker calls OHMSS a disaster and that Sean Connery "saved" the series by doing DAF. I would wager the majority of fans now favor OHMSS to DAF, but I believe Picker's statement to not be that inaccurate. Lazenby was a risk,…

  • Bond has always been an older character to me. He’s been a commander and an experienced double-00, and he also has impeccable taste in the finer things in life, due to his many worldly travels. That’s the allure of the character: that he IS experi…

  • Hey all, I haven't been on in a while, and may be on a hiatus for a while. My wife and I recently welcomed our daughter, so a lot of sleepless nights. I just noticed a select # of 007 films are back on Netflix! So I just may be in for a treat. I…

  • I used to own nearly all of them on VHS. I bought a few select ones on DVD for the excellent special features. I now own SF on Blu-Ray. I'm not a collector and a part of me likes to NOT own them all - I know that doesn't sound like a fan...but …

  • doubleoego wrote: Back to basics? Um, that's what SF did no? No I don't think so. SF took Bond in another direction by presenting more abstract themes of ligh-dark, old-new, technology-human ingenuity, and also dealt with both Bond and M's p…
    in Sam Mendes to direct Bond 24? Comment by JBFan626 March 2013
  • I am actually kind of relieved. As much as I liked Skyfall, I like having him doing just a one-off. Mendes never really exuded Bond; he just came in as a big childhood fan, but with a stage background and a knack for drama. If I'm going to be per…

  • Thanks @jetsetwilly. I think a lot of it is subjective. I personally find the soundtrack 'better' in SF. It didn't stand out to me at first, but the more I watch SF the more I appreciate the soundtrack. I think Newman does a better job at enhanc…

  • I like @hoppimike's aw-shucks, easy going manner and I can respect that he likes QOS and CR over SF, in fact I appreciate differing opinions, but the GB being too retro? C'mon hoppimike, this is preposterous! :-q
