Classic Bond Forum

Oh yeah. With Weinstein, you have to wonder who knew what, and when. How many of his victims were afraid to speak out, for fear of being blacklisted, and how many people who could have intervened turned a blind eye?

I'm going to take the rare step of defending Daniel Craig here. I don't think it's fair to accuse him of hypocrisy for having different attitudes as an adult than he did when he was a hormonal teen. In fact, one criticism I've seen of Roger's Bond is that he sometimes behaves more like a horny teena...

What's Abigail?

I doubt there's any conspiracy involved, I think it's just the cycle whereby yesterday's critically derided has-been becomes today's national treasure. It happened to Roger as well.

Maybe Brozza was, ah say, maybe Brozza was trying to compete with Daniel Craig's Foghorn Leghorn impression in the Benoit Blanc films.

He corrected it again and shortened what he wrote to this: "As of 2024, the longest gap between two Bond films currently stands at six years, with License to Kill – Timothy Dalton’s final outing as the spy – coming in 1989 before Pierce Brosnan’s debut as 007 in GoldenEye in 1995." Did you write ag...

If they hired me to do the Bond reporting, I wouldn't treat "bookies' odds shorten" as if it was news. Mind you, it would probably mean cosying up to EON in the hope that they might give me an exclusive.

Not to mention that the whole article is bs, because it's based around a bookies' odds non-story.

I hear he's raising a stink in court.

According to Forbes, the official financial statements for the film confirm Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was a massive loss for Disney, losing the company a total of $134 million. The budget for the film was a whopping $387.2 million. Shame, I thought it was better than Crystal Skull. I su...

Cavill interview by Rich Eisen on being Bond now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIUieranevs Literally everyone is begging for this to happen, including Cavill! d**n it Babz, as Bond said in TND, "You've forgotten the first rule in mass media; give the people what they want!" And his roles in film...

I've never heard that, but it's possible. Fleming was a journalist before he turned to fiction, and had served in naval intelligence, so he would have had contacts in the establishment.

I mean, I get that the films have to adapt to changing times in order to survive. A Bond who was unquestioningly loyal to queen (or now king) and country might be a tougher sell in our more cynical age than it was when Fleming was writing. But nobody asked for the soap opera stuff. Brofeld was almos...

Since you're here, I'm guessing you didn't get raptured.

ECLIPSE day is here. At 2:10pm it will start in NYC and end at 4:36 pm at 90% totality here. I will NOT look at it. Who knows if these special glasses people are getting by the millions have defects in them. It's not really visible in the UK, though some places may be able to see a partial eclipse ...

I thought he did, but don't quote me on that.
