  • I watched Dr No. Lame? Well, my Mad Max: Fury Road-bluray is still waiting to be watched... I just can´t watch other movies when I´m waiting for the new installment in my beloved franchise. Maybe when I´ve seen SP about 3-4 times I can mange to s…

  • There are quite a lot underrated Bond movies (maybe my favourite of the series, FYEO also?) but I have to pick DAF and OP. DAF is pure comedy and works very well in that area. It has a great score, one of the best theme songs ever and the mood an…
  • Don´t know about the success but it would´ve been very interesting to see mr Dalton in GE. The film is quite good (actually the first one I saw in cinema, I was 14 yrs old) and in some way it felt like it was written for Dalton. I prefer Dalto…
  • No more space journeys for me, thank you. Bond and space are a bad match IMO. And no more "huge laser weapons in space"-adventures also. I don´t like the idea of using F1 either. I hate motorsports. Car chases are more than okay but please, no F1. …
  • Haven´t seen SPECTRE yet but I have a strong sense that Craig is coming back... isn´t he contracted for a fifth? I wish he comes back because I just can´t see any potential candidates for the role right now. And Daniel Craig has defined the moder…
  • I don´t know if I´m in minority here but I have nothing against the idea of Nolan doing a Bond movie. I´m a fan of his Batman movies and it would be great to see what he can do with JB. But maybe only for a one standout movie since he´s an auteur di…
  • Just started Carte Blanche. I got it as a christmas present when it came out but somehow it got buried into my bookshelf. Thanks to Spectre I started to organise my Bond collection the other day and Carte Blanche just popped out. Thanks to EON I´…
  • I watched QoS last night since it was brodcasted in Finnish television. I actually liked it! I´ve seen it only for about 2 or 3 times since the premiere. QoS is way better than I remembered. Maybe not the typical Bond movie but a hard driven poli…
  • As a gunbarrel purist I can´t wait to see it in its proper place! As someone mentioned earlier, it´s like a Christmas tree lightning for sure. The dots, barrel, shot, blood... it´s all essential Bond. I hope that this time we´ll get the classi…
  • It will be very interesting to see how it´s been made if Oberhauser actually turns out to be dear old Blofeld. "Hello, James. I am the author of all your pain, your old pal Franz Ober... now, wait a minute. Yeah, yeah. I WAS Oberhauser but in the…
  • My guess is that nobody´s going to play Ernst in SPECTRE. Oberhauser is Oberhauser and Denbigh is Denbigh. There may be some signs of old Ernst but I don´t believe he appears in the actual film. I believe they are going the same route as they did…
  • This song is definitely NOT a grower, at least not for me. It just stays the same, every time I listen to it. There are Bondian moments but overall it´s just an dramatic love song and I tend to hate dramatic love songs. And this singer? What a mouse…
  • FYEO (sorry, this may belong to another category, but don´t hold it against me) is great in its context: a hard cold war thriller, the story holds up very well, the action is good, Roger is grittier than ever, Carole Bouquet is one of the sexiest Bo…

  • Hello everyone! I´m a new member here... and then again I´m not. I was here a long time ago under a different name. Then something big came up and I disappeared :D I became a Bond fan in the late eighties when I saw Octopussy and Live And Let Die…
