How do you know the insider information, like the director's choice in the crashes and all, and if it's from old magazines, how do you still remember? The memory some people have, it baffles me.

The main reason why I like reading the review is the cadence. A lot of movies nowadays are just fast paced. The pace of the review is smooth, and I think older movies had a better rhythm in general. I'm really sensitive to that personally, and I like older movies for that.

Last year I had cable (sadly don't anymore), and we had Turner Classic Movies, a channel with silver screen movies on it. I got to watch a few classics, notably Cool Hand Luke and The Defiant Ones. I think I might be old school guys. haha, I'm also starting to get interested in litterature (books) in general.

@ happy dolphin

I do research certain things, but guess that I have a fairly good memory. I was the guy that never did his homework, but got A's on all of the tests so I would slide by...

The compliments on my style are greatly appreciated. I think that too many reviewers try to rush through things in order to not be too long. The trick I think is to not be boring. Hopefully I'm not...

I like a lot of the old classics myself. The majority of the new stuff is junk IMO. Story is secondary to explosions and quick editing.

@bold. I can greatly eccho this sentiment. I think that's why I've been migrating to books (very new) and TV series lately. I'm also hoping video games can really one day take inspiration from the old way of making movies with humor, class, story, charming characters and much deeper plotlines.

If I can go more in depth, the other thing I liked about the review is that it focuses on the essential, and leaves the unessential aside. Also, possibly the manner in which it's written makes at an enjoyable read. Sometimes I read things and I just want to throw the medium under a tank, but at other times, the writer is able to captivate me by their prose. I'm really getting into litterature it seems :P We'll see where this goes.

Back to Bond, without making any promises, I'll see if I can get my hands on the series. In the mean time, I did you guys a favor and made a nice list in the CatchUp thread.

Are you going to review Never Say Never Again? I actually enjoyed it. *runs away*

I'm reviewing every Bond movie ever made.  Muahahahaha.

*I enjoyed it too.  Just not as much as most of the others*

Interesting if true. Can you provide a source?

Ahh, that's good to know. Do you believe there is no such thing as a bad Bond movie then?

I would say that I enjoy all of them better than 98% of all other action movies.  Let's put it that way.  That's why when I pick apart a movie like NSNA you shouldn't take it too seriously.  I like it much better than say, XXX.

Erm. It's basic thermodynamics...

The same process which turns common carbon compounds into diamonds under high pressure/temperature, turns diamonds back into those compounds under standard temperature and pressure (i.e what we experience now).

Google "diamonds don't last forever" or something along that line.

Another fun fact: Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd served as inspiration for villains in the 2000s cartoon Codename Kids Next Door as Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb
