  • We will get a game 7! The Stars are waiting and hoping it goes deep into multiple overtimes. LOL! No rest for whichever team emerges as the West Conference Final will start on Wednesday.

  • Bond came close to being assigned to Station C Canada in Thunderball, but with his fondness for water sports was able to convince M to re-assign him to Nassau. Then in QOS he helped a Canadian agent in Russia out at the end of the movie. Funny th…
  • The Leafs don't wait for Rod or Joel, they go and get Craig! The days of players not being called out are gone. Lets see how the core 4 react to his methods. He's definitely not like Keefe and I personally think that is a very good thing.

  • Well the Rangers finally finish off the pesky Canes. Let the Rod Brindamour to Toronto rumours fly. LOL! The Canucks score in the final minute to take a series lead. Will the Panthers be able to do what the Rangers did and end the Bruins seaso…

  • Thank goodness you arrived when you did @Thunderball ^:)^ In honour of your screen name and one of my crushes in the films.
  • Great thoughts on both sides and certainly interesting to see where the producers take things. On to another one that might provide some fun for us to consider. Would you rather see a future film feature Canada OR Australia? James Bond has …
  • Okay the members have spoken and we have a winner! The winner for best model work in a James Bond film are....The Living Daylights the film received 6 votes. Also receiving votes were Moonraker with 3 votes, Goldeneye with a vote. We had a hig…
  • The Avs win to fight another day. Can they force game 7? I wouldn't bet against it. Can the Rangers put out the Hurricanes? Which Canadian team takes the series lead? Starting to hear the Leafs are interested in Rod if he doesn't re-sign with …

  • I'm sensing Canucks Stars in the West. East I am seeing Panthers and ????? I am curious whether Canes can come back and win the series. The second round has featured some great hockey. What does everyone think of the suspension of Cousy? I thi…

  • I guess that was a bit too easy to choose. Who would want steel teeth. Okay lets talk about a future film adventure. Would you rather see a young Bond OR an older Bond? We usually see Bond as a 30-something agent out in the field. There mig…
  • Good stuff academy members! Yes @CommanderRoss who knew we were passionate about models and model work. Give me a good model and maybe matte painting over some of the CGI work that I see in movies today. Keep those votes coming and feel free to w…
  • The flapping of wings means it is time for me to head to the stage and share the winner of the Klebbie. One nominee received no votes. Guess I am on my own island with Diana and George. LOL! The winner of the worst screen combo is Carole Bouquet…
  • Very interesting discussion about this would you rather. I must admit I am taken aback a bit by the love for NSNA as it often gets flogged on here. I am warmed to see some love shown for the film. I wish EON would pick up on the Bond aging for a fut…
  • Well said @peter there are strong indications that this is the Shanahan plan. He was quick at the start to say which players have to go and I laugh that some found success and became Stanley Cup Champions. When we look at the players we let walk …

  • hmmm well @Last_Rat_Standing one of your final four looks good about now. I must say I enjoy the white washing that Boston is getting right now. I am glad the Leafs were spared that treatment. I don't see any of our core four thriving in that gam…

  • This is a classic one! I feel bad for laughing at this one.
  • We are blessed to have an occurrence where a film was remade. Thunderball which some find plodding and dull was remade into Never Say Never Again. You can see that McClory tried to do some different things and maybe course correct the mistakes of th…
  • Looks like charm trumps intensity! Interesting to see why people chose what they did. Lets do a scenario that is very tongue in cheek. Submitted by @R1s1ngs0n here is a fun one! Who would you rather have you serve your dinner...Tee Hee OR Dr. …

  • With that our second round series are set: Panthers vs Bruins Rangers vs Canes Stars vs Avs Canucks vs Oilers We are guaranteed a Canadian team makes it to a conference final. On paper I would say the Oilers should be favored even though …

  • I tried to pick pairings where the script plays up the romance. Bond and Lin really don't hint at romance and really only share one look that might suggest something. So I went with Bond and Paris because that was played up on a romance or the fact …
  • Let me give this a gentle bump. To those who may be new to our little game, someone posts three films that have a commonality, but one differs slightly and is "odd one out". For example: * YOLT, DAD and QOS * all feature Bond drinking on a v…

  • Lets try this one, I think I know which way this might go, but who knows. Would you rather have the charm of Roger Moore's Bond or the intensity of Daniel Craig's Bond? This one came from ChatGPT! :)
  • Well my brave thoughts and words didn't seem to inspire the buds! God the roller coaster that this freaking team takes me on continues. Like a fool with a cheating lover, I will return in the fall and believe that THIS year will be different and …

  • Time for me to flap my wings and head to the stage and give some Bondie love to a lovely actress. The Bondie for best female performance is Olga Kurylenko as Camille in Quantum of Solace. Time to kick the shins with a Klebbie. Over the years t…
  • Canucks Oilers should be a heck of a series in Round 2. Can someone tell me I am crazy for envisioning the boys in blue and white vanquishing the Bruins tonight? I am cautiously optimistic that we might just pull off the comeback and move on to t…

  • There shall be only one Dove on this board! LOL! Thanks for the dove love. LOL!
  • Nice to see both ladies getting some love. There are advantages to both and I don't think there is a wrong choice here. Lets move on to another one: Imagine you are up for a part in the next film, which one are you telling your agent you want?…
