Re: Goldfinger 50th Anniversary
When I think about Goldfinger (my favorite Bond film) and that it's been 50 years since its world premiere, this image comes to mind: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/904/Mfrsmf.jpg Man, it seems like it was only yesterday that I was gawking at Shirley Eaton on this Life magazine cover. Some of...

Re: The Living Daylights Tribute thread
Was it really necessary for Bond to kill Naomi in TSWLM (the first time he deliberately killed a woman), though? I mean, she didn't know that his car turned into a submarine, and so would have presumably thought that he had drowned when he failed to surface after a few minutes. But that was the bea...

Re: The Living Daylights Tribute thread
Agreed, Largo. Bond does have a moral code. [highlight=#ffff00]In the actual short story, he has made a mistake by not killing Trigger, the KGB assassin, because she was a woman[/highlight]. Women can be the most lethal weapons we could ever expect, there is a reason for why some are called la femm...

Re: Brosnan: My Bond not good enough
Despite how people try to say Moore was a clown even he was surprised watching his movies how viscous his Bond was at times. But .... but ....

Well, when [highlight=#ffff40]Brosnan was fired in the most disgraceful way from the production[/highlight], he has developed a lot of hatred heading towards the franchise and quite doesn't want to be related to that product by any means.

Indeed. He was a professional. He knew the girl "didn't know one end of her rifle from the other." He noticed she wasn't an assassin at all, so there you go, he did what was right. One thing I don't understand is that how CR-egg compares himself to Dalton when they exactly have nothing in common? S...

Kimberly Last's Bond site is no more
I thought I'd share this with all of you fellow James Bond fans today. Back in 1995 when I was first surfing the web with my Power Mac 7200 (75 MHz!!), I found Kimberly Last's James Bond website. For many years, Kimberly's Bond web page was the premiere James Bond site on the net. But recently I not...

Re: Bond on Blu-ray: My Bond Beefs
Does any of the sound depend on having a 5.1 speaker set up? I've been watching them with tv speakers only. That's a very good question but I don't think it really matters. I don't have a 5.1 speaker set up, but I do have a Bose Acoustic Wave Sound System. I just find it curious -- and annoying -- ...

Re: What if Sean Connery played Bond until 1985?
On the other hand some of the stuff in the older Bond films could be seen as a bit offensive today actually. Connery almost rapes Pussy galore in the barn in GF, and Pat in the shower in TB. :lol: Even though Connery is my favorite Bond, he's rather crude and carnal in his EON Bond films (but he do...

Bond on Blu-ray: My Bond Beefs
The story so far -- Well, I finally went all out and bought my "Baker's Dozen" group of James Bond favorites on Blu-ray earlier this week. And I only paid $7.99 for each one which is really a great price, eh! But when I starting watching Goldfinger I discovered that the DTS track was missing a sound...

Re: Who was James Bond when you were born?
In my case, nobody. Unless you consider Barry Nelson to still have been Bond before Sean Connery was cast. :) In that case yours is Fleming. It doesn't get any better than that...... :007: Sweet! I was born during this same period and I'll join this "Ian Fleming was James Bond Before Connery" club!...

My vote goes to You Only Live Twice because I feel that it is a perfect marriage of images with the sounds of the wonderful theme that is sung by Nancy Sinatra.

For me, Thunderball...first gunbarrel in widescreen, first with Connery (Simmons did the first 3), it's Connery in color while YOLT is Connery in black and white. My vote goes to Thunderball as well for all of the above reasons. In addition I'll add that it's the first to use the white dot as an ac...

That's really where James Bond truly belongs: in the 1960s, man! But I must make a confession: I recently watched Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum Of Solace o...
