  • I would like to see the new Bond, post-Craig, cast young, age 28-32. A good young actor with the right look and requisite physicality can play the role mature, in the Fleming mode. It's just acting. Good actors find the character and deliver it.…

  • To King fans , re the Stephen-Owen father-son collaboration, Sleeping Beauties -- this book is picking up. I'm 200 pages into the 700 total now, and it's moving along nicely. I'm feeling it now. It's turned out to be a good brew of horror, mystery,…
  • ACDC guitar legend Malcolm Young died on the weekend. He was 64. He had been ill for a few years and had already left the band due to illness. He and brother Angus founded the group and ran it. Malcolm played the great heavy guitar riffs on class…

  • @shamanimal Very good! If you've got 8 copies of LALD anyway, sure,it's not the worst thing to bolster the collection with what do seem to be nicely produced new hardcovers. Personally I won't touch them, simply because I have no interest what…
  • Some_Kind_Of_Hero wrote: » Shame to hear about that. In the Tall Grass was a pretty good blend of Joe Hill and Stephen King, no matter the story's strengths or weaknesses. Perhaps it helps that they both predominantly write horror. Mind you…
  • Reading King&King's Sleeping Beauties. I'm only 150 pages out of 700, into it. I don't like it much. Seems to me the kid wrote it, with the dad chirping in here and there, maybe. It doesn't flow like an SK novel which I usually can't put down…

  • thought I would add that I watched the famous George Lazenby Baywatch episode the the other day. Laz plays Mitch Buchanan's (Hasselhoff's) former Navy Seal commander. Mitch invites him to Baywatch so he can re-unite with his estranged daughter. Mi…
  • I think @Revelator has sussed this matter out quite well. Vintage I believe is being disengenuous. They are choosing to present the original sanitized American versions of the books, as something that Fleming himself might have, could have, may…

  • You guys that are catching these edits are performing a valuable service to the Bond community. We should probably make a detailed list of offending editions so that unsuspecting Bond fans don't waste their $$ buying them.
