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

speaking of (actual) fascism (Obamacare), I'm old enough to remember the late 60s/early 70s and the discussions that went on over 007 being an imperialist lackey hahaha. Yes the fact is 007 has always worked for a fascist regime, maybe even more so now than then! Liberals like myself had a choice of...

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

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

let me preface this by saying I'm a progressive liberal living in the United States. No matter what games each side wants to play with race, turning BOND black, woman or (especially) gay (since part of the legend is womanizing) is just plain stoopid, simply destroys the historic 007 rendering the wh...

Re: Dirty Benny's Weekly Rant

on a yahoo news board someone (at least they also hated Skyfaux) tried to tell me it was not supposed to be the actual Goldfinger car brought back in Skyfaux (my rant being are they saying Craig is the same Bond who belittled the Beatles way back in the Goldfinger caper, if so either Craig needs to ...

The YOLT/OHMSS continuity problem

I could've killed the producers over this alone . . . although they did try to make OHMSS before YOLT . . . Bond and Blofeld should recognize each other in OHMSS after previously battling in YOLT . . . the producers just chose to ignore the continuity problem after rejecting a script that suggested ...

Re: Is Moonraker the best Bond movie of the 70s?

Moonraker would be the best of the 70s and the Moores except for turning Jaws (who I never liked and was happy when he appeared to be killed off in the pre-credit scene) into a Wile E Coyote character . . . one also cannot forgive the double-taking pigeons . . . I instantly disliked Spy Who Loved Me...

thank goodness it will not be Tom Cruise as earlier reported

Cavill as the Man From UNCLE, the Bond that should have been (not Craig)?

Re: the terrorists won: why the Craig films aren't memorable

I wasn't strictly enamored of the Brosnan films either but at least they were entertaining and didn't bore me silly. As I've said in other forums, I thought I would just get used to Craig as well, but it's just not happening, and all this playing with the role we now even have to wonder if he's bise...

Re: Main reason why Craig is not Bond..

are they really considering a black bond (Elba) two films down the road after Craig's finished? then there would really be no point in calling it "Bond" anymore. Just like the Fleming family was considering a literary reboot updating Bond to a veteran of Afghanistan or Iraq wars. I don't know if tha...

Re: Poll: What is your favourite Fleming Bond novel?

if that sequel/prequel rumor is true they would have to bring back Judy Dench/M right? Maybe they ended up not having confidence in the nonexistent chemistry between Craig and the new Moneypenny

Re: Poll: What is your favourite Fleming Bond novel?

I've always hated the things in 007 films while funny (some of them, others just dumb) that take you right out of the story, especially breaking the fourth wall stuff, and for all their supposed steadfastness about the "perfect" Craig vehicles, in Skyfall the producers did the same thing by includin...

Re: Poll: What is your favourite Fleming Bond novel?

another mistake in You Only Live Twice is when Bond is asked if he has ever been in Japan before. He replies never, but in From Russia With Love in the scene where they're listening to the tape of him and Tania, Bond starts to relate an adventure he had with M in Tokyo

Re: Poll: What is your favourite Fleming Bond novel?

I disagree completely about the Molly Peters scene. She has plenty of chance to run out of the room, and their attitude is clearly playing with each other. You could just as easily infer she's purposely using this as an excuse to do what she has been wanting to do anyway, also it was implied she was...

I pretty much hate Craig as Bond and all the Craig movies so far especially Skyfall, with all its numerous plotholes is among the dumbest Bond films ever made . . .

I wouldn't count the Molly Peters scene in Thunderball as rape, more like Bond after the thing on the stretching machine playfully pretending to coerce her into something she was drifting toward anyway (confirmed later by the mink-skin rubdown and even later she's begging Bond to keep in touch with ...

Re: the terrorists won: why the Craig films aren't memorable

Craig made noises about leaving the role between Quantum and Skyfall, and even said he shouldn't have taken the role in the first place .. . I'm betting he looked at the Skyfall script and thought it would not do any better than Quantum . .. Craig has also made noises about wanting going back to the...

welllllll I think you're forgetting that Andrea wanted Scaramanga killed and even sent Bond a golden bullet with a 007 engraved on it trying to goad him into doing it. Then later we see the scene where Scaramanga is pointing the gun at her, rubbing the gun over her lips, then using the gun to try to...
