I haven't had many, but I do remember two from a while back, both about the then untitled Bond 22.

In one, I was watching Bond 22, and the pretitle sequence contained Bond in a car chase that looked like something from a Need for Speed video game. Then he suddenly hit a jump, and went flying ...

Yeah, how dare those evil movie studio try to market their movie

It seems like Barack has it all but wrapped up, thankfully. Still you never know, US elections are unpredictable like that, non-compulsury voting means that polls and such are always harder to rely (though still a good indicator of general sentiment).

"Everyone knows that the CIA and MI6 finance James Bond films as a special operation of psychological warfare against us. This Ukranian girl sleeps with Bond and that means that Ukraine is sleeping with the West."

"According to our records, Craig works for American intelligence.”

Wow... what ...

Good to hear. After some of the lukewarm reviews I was a little worried it may not match Casino Royale's takings, but this is much more encouraging.

These are an interesting read, it's cool to see someone experience Bond for the very first time. Can't say I agree with all of his points, I love DAF and loathe YOLT and Thunderball, but they are quite engaging and well written reviews.

Wow, these new covers are awful. I'm glad I bought most of my DVDs back when the SE's were out, they looked great. These new ones are just bland and formulaic.

I didn't think AWTD was that bad to be honest. It wasn't great by any means, but there's certainly been worse theme songs (Moonraker, You Only Live Twice, the non-instrumental FRWL... IMO of course). I didn't like it at first, but it's grown on me at first, and I'm glad they are at least trying to ...

For all it's flaws, I LOVE Diamonds Are Forever. It's quite possibly the funniest Bond film of all time. It gets the comedy angle right unlike the Moore and Brosnan eras, probably because it's mostly black humor and adult. Odd, considering that I prefer films like FRWL, OHMSS and CR. :lol: You know ...

Eh... product placement doesn't bother me remotely, I never even notice it unless someone else points it out to me.

Eh, doesn't really bother me. There's been plenty of Bond films where he hasn't said the "shaken, not stirred" line, and I'm pretty sure there's been a film or two where he hasn't said the "Bond, James Bond" line. I like to see them every so often, but there's no need to cram them into every film.

Dammit, just missed out on saving Casino Royale :p

"You Know My Name" is my favourite, it's an awesome rock track that sounds really different from what has come before but is still undeniably Bondian. A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights and Tommorow Never Dies (I think I'm the only person that likes that one) are also fantastic, and I've always ...
