That's OK Acid. At age 40 he has over a decade to be Bond but Broccoli won't choose him. Actually, I never heard of the "E" version of Turner, but at 46, he would be better than ATJ as well! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Aiden_Turner.jpg Yep both Turners look the part and woul...

At first glance I'd say EON could do worse than going with ATJ, a lot worse. I'd have to actually see him in the role to decide for sure though. He looks a bit young at the moment but at the rate they've been making films that could turn into an advantage soon. Like most of you I'm sure I still tak...

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.

These folks are channeling their inner Dirty Benny https://fandomwire.com/the-good-old-bond-days-are-gone-barbara-broccolis-latest-james-bond-update-convinces-fans-even-henry-cavill-cant-save-7-8b-franchise/ An interesting article. And if nothing continues to happen, I’ll be fine with it. Leave it ...

You're right BJ but it would still be a vast improvement.

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.

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:...

Merry Christmas classic Bond fans!

"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.

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...

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!

Radiotimes.com lists Diamonds Are Forever as the worst Bond film of all time and On Her Majesty's Secret Service as the best of all time: https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/james-bond-films-ranked/ What a s**t list! Feels like it was compiled by someone who glanced at a Reddit post and wrote an arti...

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. Have another martini. :martini: :) As for this abomination of a flick though, wow, I'm almost speechless. The overwhelming vi...

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...

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 ...

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...

Yeah, I think I might give DAD a rewatch soon. I haven't seen it in years.

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...
