Yeah, they'll probably turn it into a story about an interracial romance or something ;)
I don't mind that, really. ;)

I do mind if other things are shoved down our throats, if you know what I mean.

Re: BOND #7

I have my own franchise to worry about, anyway.

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

I think we can all agree that Wyngarde's best role was in The Avengers episode, "A Touch of Brimstone" in which he played the charismatic villain who led the Hellfire Club.

Sad that we're losing the good ones as years go by.

RIP Peter Wyngarde.

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

Waltz could've been a great Blofeld. But, Sappy Mendes ruined what would've been a magnificent incarnation of the character due to the actor in the role.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched

I watched it a couple of months and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. There were scenes I burst in laughter thanks to Samuel L. Jackson being himself. :lol:

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

Yeah, I thought it captured the tone of the series perfectly. Most of the criticisms seemed to be of Fiennes and Thurman. I wouldn’t say they were perfectly cast, but I thought they did a decent job. As you say, Liz Hurley would probably have been better, not sure who else would have made a better ...

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

I may be one of the very few people here but I rather like... wait, let me rephrase... love the film adaptation with Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman, even though I'd have preferred Elizabeth Hurley in the role of Emma Peel. I quite liked it too, though it seems to have suffered from executive meddlin...

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

I wonder what they'll call it. Probably something like Steed & Mrs Peel, since The Avengers is now firmly linked to Marvel in the public mind. I suspect exactly that, since the comic books based on the TV series are published under that title. That's what made me think of it. There was a mini-serie...

Shane Black is developing Avengers reboot for TV: https://doubleosection.blogspot.com/2018/01/shane-black-and-fred-dekker-pen.html I'll bet my intelligence on it this is going to fail the audience of the original series and disrespect the source material since Shane Black is known to vehemently pul...

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

According to Babs, fundamental things were going to be settled "by early 2018". I'm guessing they're going to announce the director and the distributors after the awards shows are done with.
