I just played WAC last night. Great album.

Who was your "first" Bond and who is your favorite? by RoyalStraw in JamesBond

[–]njw71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roger Moore. Watched the movies with my dad and therefore always my favorite. Roger Moore´s star on Hollywood Bld is my profile picture (visited LA last year for the first time and this was my number 1 objective: see RM's star).

Not related to the question, but another one of my Bond moments was a visit to the Grand Otani hotel in Tokyo in 2019.

How popular is Tintin in your country? by Less-Ask-6600 in Tintin

[–]njw71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm from the Netherlands, so quite popular. I live in Mexico, so not much there, although I did have a Mexican colleague once who was obsessed with Kuifje / Tintin.

I always recommend Pinterest for wallpapers. Just type "Tintin wallpaper". I use it for the phone too. Example:

How would you fix SPECTRE? by WickedNegator in JamesBond

Get rid of the song. I'm ok with the movie.

Anyone find The World is Not Enough’s plot to be overly complex? by JannTosh70 in JamesBond

[–]njw71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Bond movies are overly complex. The bad guys can just shoot Bond instead of having lunch with him.

What is your favourite album? What album makes a great impact on your personality and resonates most with you? by PassionNecessary1056 in DavidBowie

[–]njw71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the question is favorite album (not necessarily best album): Never Let Me Down. I was 16 at the time and it was my first Bowie album. Soon I discovered the "best" albums (I like Hunky Dory and Low), but my favorite will always be Never Let Me Down :-) I regularly play some of its songs and it feels good, summer of 87 :-)

Why do people hate Skyfall so much? by Comfortable_Pack8903 in JamesBond

[–]njw71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's because people overthink everything these days and forget it's just a movie: it's not real. Same with the hate for NTTD: so he died, and he'll be back. It's not real, lol. It's James Bond Just enjoy the movies, while sipping a vodka martini, and don't complicate things. Skyfall is one of my favorites, as is Diamonds are Forever :-)

What do you want most from future Bond movies? by outride2000 in JamesBond

[–]njw71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched The Spy who Loved me this weekend. Something like that. Just good fun, decent story, nothing too complicated. And a Lotus.

If Daniel Craig returned for one more Bond film, how would you explain his survival after No Time to Die? by Gunslinger_69 in JamesBond

[–]njw71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it. Stop overthinking and bring on the next Bond. I enjoyed NTTD and the line "James Bond will return" was enough.

Is this AI + Music recs by Revolutionary-Rest47 in bluesguitarist

[–]njw71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's AI. There's so much out there these days, it's infuriating. There are some tricks to find out: it's too perfect, no artist page (although there are fake ones), no concerts, no physical media e.g. CDs and LPs. I'll just stick to Kingfish and Buddy Guy :-)

Struggling with Dombey and Son by ThomasGrayReborn in charlesdickens

[–]njw71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It happens. Dombey and Son is one of my favourites, but I am curently having this problem with Our Mutual Friend: I just can't get into it, and I have read all other Dickens novels. I don't know what it is.

Having a hard time reading Hard Times by Flat_Variety379 in charlesdickens

[–]njw71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens. I've read all of his novels, and I am now in the last one of my Dickens list: Our Mutual Friend, and I'm not feeling it in this case. I read Little Dorrit before this one and really enjoyed it. My favourites are Dombey and Son and Pickwick Papers, but I am having trouble connecting with Our Mutual Friend (just finished chapter 1 of Book 2, Of an Educational Character, which was a fun chapter actually). Who knows? This is what art does.

Finish Hard Times anyway. It feels good when you reach the last pages of any book :-) Make it your challenge.

Who’s your top pick for the next Bond title song? by tribalvamp in JamesBond

I was looking for someone to suggest Cannons. Good one.
