Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Just heard about this https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fast_charlie action movie starring Pierce playing a hitman. Anyone seen it?
It's another low budget film. Seems like this one's picking up some good reviews.

Yeah I won't hold my breath. I'm surprised they can find any new anagrams for the writing on the sign at the beginning.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Did anyone hear about this film? My Dinner with Hervé It's a drama about the actor Hervé Villechaize who played Nick Nack in TMWTGG, focusing on the last days of his life. Interestingly, it apparently recreates several scenes from TMWTGG and they had a British actor, Mark Umbers playing Roger Moore:...

:lol: "You bas***ds!" I'm also reminded of the Simpsons parodies of Bond with Homer causing his demise. Funny how the more they try to add depth and gravitas, the closer it seems to come to self-parody.

Re: Dirty Benny's Weekly Rant

Oh, I'm sure. But the fact that Craig made this a condition for doing a fifth film makes it all but certain that there won't be a sixth. Not because Babbzy doesn't want it, but because Craig doesn't. Yeah he'd probably only change his mind if he needed more money for some reason. You'd think that l...

Re: Dirty Benny's Weekly Rant

If a Bond actor had told Cubby he would only come back for another film on the condition they kill Bond off, I'm pretty sure Cubby would've told them to get lost!

Re: Dirty Benny's Weekly Rant

It's obviously going to be a reboot. I think if they tried the nanobots rebuilding him, or some old-school Marvel Comics "he wasn't really dead, just wounded" explanation, they'd be laughed out of cinemas. I just hope it isn't another origin story. I'd hate for Bond to become like Spiderman, gettin...

Thank you very much DB. I just finished your excellent rant. Your thoroughness and attention to detail are exceptional. You've put a lot of work into it and it's appreciated.

Do you know what time it is?” Dr. Borat replies, “Vhat?” She continues, “Time to die.” You know things have become stale when the writers literally copy a line written around 24 years ago, lol. And I could have sworn that "history isn't kind to men who play God" line was in SPECTRE?? The line "time...

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

I'd hate to be right but I have a feeling more and more that they will go down the "first black Bond" route. :skull: If Babz has her way, something that different from the traditional image of Bond is to be expected, I think. Aren't we at the point now that we'd all be a lot MORE surprised if they ...

Re: RIP Roger Moore 1927 to 2017

Much appreciated! Yeah, I know Octopussy isn't considered too fondly by most, but I just love it. It's like a warm and cozy comfort blanket of a film for me. Great list. Octopussy is also one of my favorites. I especially love the long sequence of action on the train, with some interesting car stun...

Re: Odd Bond dreams

As a decades fan of Bond I have NEVER had any kind of a Bond dream. Never say "NEVER" again, BJ :wink: The Bond dreams that I remember often happen when I sleep a bit late in the morning. I think it's partly because I usually tend to remember dreams I was having just as I woke up. I do daydream abo...

Re: Odd Bond dreams

I dreamt I was back at school and had to write two or three essays, apparently under test or exam conditions, analyzing a Craig Bond film. I felt like it was the most recent one but it wasn't called NTTD. It was a long name and, unlike QOS, it had two Qs in the name. I only remember this bit because...

Re: Dirty Benny's Weekly Rant

DB this really must be the most depressing and boring Bond film ever. I mean, so many pointless, underwhelming deaths. Bro-feld reduced to trying to sound menacing whilst defenseless in a little cage, and then Craig's Bond trying to kill him, but not really meaning to kill him, but accidentally actu...

He could always do the unthinkable and finally remake E.T.

Maybe that's what it would take for producers to finally realize how much remakes suck and that people are tired of them.
