Classic Bond Forum

You could be right. I enjoyed the last few series more than many of the previous series which to my mind had huge build ups for no pay off, The Silence is an example of where the sown runners built up an idea for a series only write it off quickly with little explanation. Peter had a few classic sho...

Since David Tennant left ratings were on the downward trajectory, at least this is how I recall the ratings trends per episode and why I associate the trend in digital consumption with the overall decline in ratings. I am unsure if these next generation of viewers can be counted correctly. I was dis...

I have a feeling the ratings will go down because of the move. Unlike 1989 I think BBC is proud of Doctor Who which is also a irreplaceable revenue source. I think they are trying too hard to be trendy by the pseudo controversy of casting Jodie, their instinct as a sprawling bureaucracy is to have f...

Considering how "terrible" DAD was according to Craig apologists followed by the inevitable babble about the box office take of the bestest Bond EVA!!!!!! Skyfall, I get a chuckle consulting Box-office Mojo to find DAD at #5 on the list of Bond film grosses. Ah but Benny, that's not accounting for ...

I had perhaps still have one of those tin sets. It stopped being available around 2006, the first tin I believe was first available before Die Another Day , with 19 movies making a 007 logo when lined up, then the 2003/4 set with Die Another Day and I believe a bonus DVD. 2006 with the remastered DV...

Good afternoon all. Been a while since I popped in here. Still no news on the next Bond film yet, other than than the Boyle rumours. I am now officially bored with Craig in the role and want another actor to replace him - ideally an actor which matches exactly how Fleming depicted him, dark hair an...

Happy Easter, Passover and April fools! Great news about Sean getting one more crack at the whip! ;) Exciting that Pierce and Timothy will be brought on as producers, maybe they will take up the cameo appearances MGW used to be famous for. :wink: Finally watched the new Poirot movie, I enjoy Kenneth...

So, does Barbara Ellen think that Bond fans applauded the treatment of Severine in Skyfall? Most I know were horrified by it. He sounds just like Ian Fleming's 007. :roll: So perfect it hurts my brain to contemplate anyone else in the role. Sarcasm aside we all know Ian's 007 would have tried to re...

Christopher Eccleston reaffirms why he is one of my least favourite human beings. Just imagine in a few short years we will be getting very similar interviews from Daniel. Those two are cut from the same cloth. My relationship with my three immediate superiors, the showrunner, the producer, and co-p...

Danny Boyle is making his musical, casting doubt on his involvement with Bond 25: http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/movies/james-bond-25/55440/james-bond-25-danny-boyle-involvement-in-doubt-now?utm_content=buffercc11e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer This is so similar to the...

A new study says that Daniel Craig is the least attractive Bond because of his face structure https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/celebrity/a-new-study-says-that-daniel-craig-is-the-least-attractive-bond-because-of-his-face-structure/ar-BBIAOGb According to a study reported by The Daily Mail, D...

Spain is trying to get the singer Shakria using the same tax trap they tried with Sean Connery.

I can understand a new showrunner wanting to bring his own people with him. Chibnall has been showrunner on 4 shows before Doctor Who, and tends to use the same people. It does mean that one of my wife's piano students, who works as a make-up artist on the show, no longer has a job there, even thou...

:fight: Went to the new Star Wars, not sure why everyone is upset. Standard fare Star Wars just not done as well as the originals. Maybe I'm cynical I do believe Disney will remake episodes VII VII IX, probably use George Lucas story's for the remakes maybe even allowing him direct. Althou despite h...

Doctor Who’s outgoing head writer Steven Moffat earlier this month revealed that Brexit voters delayed the protagonist’s gender swap, stating that he feared the change would alienate “Daily Mail-reading viewers”. This is why I am so happy Steven Moffat is not longer involved with Doctor Who. Before...

Happy Christmas !

All the talk about the new Star Wars not being up to par what comes to my mind is these films were never high art. Essentially Start Wars were remakes of better films and books watered down to be populist.
