  • I saw TLD in the Netherlands when it first came out. It definitely had the top frontal shot! I hope they restore it one day it makes more sense to put it back in. The scene looks too edited now.

    in Pierce Brosnan backs first black James Bond Comment by Taffin April 2013
  • If CR67 counts I'd like to nominate David Niven, Peter Sellers, Orson Welles and Woody Allen. John Huston as the director with the best resume. Jeez, what a cast - how could they stuff it up so badly!!
    in Which Actor has best résumé? Comment by Taffin April 2013
  • I don't particularly care for McClory but NSNA was the first bond film i saw and i loved it back then! (Anglia showed it around xmas somewhere late 80's i think??) Still prefer it over OP and think its a decent effort. Great to see Connery back! Do…
    in Never Say Never Again - A Bond Film ? Comment by Taffin April 2013
  • I enjoy the whole movie a lot. Clearly the kitesurfing scene is a bit much, but I'm hoping that in future releases they can upgrade the quality of the cgi like they did with star wars to at lease make it look a bit less cheap. I remember thinking…
    in "Dont blow it all at once ": Die Another Day Appreciation Thread Comment by Taffin March 2013
  • Maxwell is my favourite for the Connery years, but she should have quit soon after him. Harris is a close second. Great actress, can't wait to see how she will develop the role. Looks like the writers are giving her a lot more depth than the previou…

    in Sam Mendes to direct Bond 24? Comment by Taffin March 2013
  • Kara Milovoy - The only lead bond girl that seemed even dumber than Plenty O'Toole Jack Wade looked like a bad JW pepper ripoff Dr Goodhead was pretty dull as well - memorable name but terrible acting My favourites are Quarrel and Tatiana Roman…

    in 50 Years 007: The Most Memorable Bond Scene Ever [part 1] Comment by Taffin March 2013
  • Just received my copy of the standard disc. Anyone else notice the Irish age rating for the DVD is 12 and for the bluray it's 15! No high quality for the young ones!
    in The Skyfall DVD/Blu Ray-Out now! Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • I actually hope they won't keep the office set. Although nice as a gimmick for the introduction of the new M and Moneypenny in Skyfall, it seems odd to me that MI6 would pretend to live in the 60s while everything else has changed. Don't get me w…
    in Keep the office set! Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • All of them on DVD and Blu-Ray (incl CR67 and NSNA) with the exception of CR54 on DVD only. Have some doubles as well on both formats due to buying singles first and later a box set in both formats! There is a BluRay of CR54 sold on eBay. Does…
    in What Bond films do you own? Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • I saw it after reading all the negative comments here, and taking them into account it was a lot better than I expected! Halfway through the footage it looked like they were going to show more close-up shots of Halle Berry than of Pierce Brosnan, b…
    in Anyone else dissapointed about the Oscar's hommage to 50 years of James Bond? Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Thanks a lot for both your help. I was hoping for the covers to be pictured on the discs, like the old version of QOS! I guess this is good news, I really don't need an extra copy!
    in James Bond on Blu-ray/4K Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • The individual releases look exactly the same?
    in James Bond on Blu-ray/4K Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Thanks for the link @Creasy47 - it didn't answer my question, but it was a very interesting read. I'm fairly new to this page and it's such a wealth of knowledge and cool trivia!
    in Skyfall Bluray to match set? Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Can someone tell me what the newly released individual blu-ray discs of the old movies look like? Not the covers, but the actual discs. Do they match the Bond50 set? I love the new covers and was almost tempted to buy them again. If they have pictur…
    in James Bond on Blu-ray/4K Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • I always thought John Malkovich would be a great villain and often picture him as the bad guy when reading a Bond novel. Although he may be getting a bit too old nowadays. I also like the idea of a female villain.
    in What actor do you think would play a good villain and why? Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • With Jonathan Cape being involved again I can only wish for them to reissue all the Bond books - including the continuation novels - in a matching set, the same size as the original Cape Flemings, that would be my ultimate Bond-book dream! They w…

    in Skyfall Props, & M's real name Comment by Taffin February 2013

    in Skyfall Bluray to match set? Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • I would have loved to see Lois Maxwell as M. Not sure how realistic it is for a secretary to be promoted to the head of MI6, but I like the idea.
    in Moneypenny Becoming M Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Ultrabox, I had never noticed Bernard Lee's portrait! Which movie was it in? Curious to see it now! If done tastefully it could be a nice tribute I guess.
    in Do you Think they will bring back Dame Judi Dench Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Please no! She was fantastic as M but she died. Leave it at that. A portrait would be tacky and not very believable.
    in Do you Think they will bring back Dame Judi Dench Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Nice article! Not sure how affordable the Vanquish is for most of us, but love that Sunbeam Alpine!
    in 10 Bond cars you can afford Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • Favourites.. - Idris Elba to be cast as the next Bond (I wouldn't mind a coloured Bond!) - Daniel Craig can't drive a manual so had his double do the driving scenes - Sean Connery comesh out of retirement to play the villain

    in Bond Set Romances Comment by Taffin February 2013
  • I wear a Seamaster or a Submariner and have a few pairs of Persol sunglasses. Apart from that I'm being told I watch the movies too often and spend too much money on Bond-related items.. ;)
