  • Damien, of all people. He lives three doors down from me. We cross paths while walking dogs on regular basis. Don't think I can pry anything out of him but I'll let you know if I turn anything up. This same thing happen with Denis several years ago …
  • Call me old fashioned but the less we know about Bond personally the better. Just send him on an assignment and let us enjoy the ride as he get's closer to his target and finally vanquishes his latest larger-than-life foe.

  • As much as I rag on EON sometimes, I am secure in my belief that they will not gratuitously overlay Bond with many of the traits expressed in the above posts. No candle lit dinners with cell phones in hand.

  • Regarding NSNA not feeling like an Eon production, I saw it at McClory's house in the Bahamas where he had replaced the score with Barry's Thunderball score and it made a world of difference. Not that it solved all the problems but it sure did help.

  • There are a lot of divergent opinions here as to what makes a Bond film work. If you could choose only one previous Bond film to use as a templet for the next one, what would it be?

  • When talking synergy through merchandising and product spin offs Bond has had ample time over the years to make inroads but it has not stuck the landing. At Comic Con this year I only saw two or three collectable items at Factory Ent. and that was i…
