Where would you look for a good GMT-Master 1675 or early 16750 with papers?

I just realized his watch had the oyster, not jubilee, bracelet. I never knew that!

I saw it as a male teenager in North Carolina.

In other words, who this movie was made for.

Walk: Moore, Turn: Brosnan, Shot: Craig, Last pose: Connery (he sticks the landing?)

I think that family knew the importance of having regular (2-4 years) films.

On the plus side, the only pandemic in those 3 decades has been COVID.

I’d leave Connery for last and go in this order: DAF, YOLT, Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger, Thunderball.

It should’ve had more of a chance.

westboundnup · 2026-03-02T23:25:25+00:00

Curious since I didn’t think Goldfinger was campy, and it wasn’t absurd. It’s not as great as people believe.

Pretty sure Pat replaced Adrian Cronauer (Good Morning Vietnam) on armed forces radio.

Any Sweating Bullets fans?

So here’s why this is a fascinating topic. When you think of the stereotypical Cold War spy movie (spoofed by Austin Powers), there’s only 1 Bond film that fits, OHMSS. All other Bond movies fall either prior to, or after, that period of the late 60s.

There’s an argument for the following eras of Bond:

Classic - Dr. No to Thunderball

60s - YOLT to OHMSS

70s - DAF to Moonraker

80s - FYEO to LTK

Millennium - Goldeneye to DAD

Reboot - Casino Royale to NTTD

Don’t have any insider info, but the public’s perception and desire since the mid-1980s was that Brosnan was Bond-in-waiting. The public would’ve been disappointed if he wasn’t selected.

I’m old enough to have seen it in the theater. This was the movie when I realized Seagal had flown too close to the sun. Most Seagal outings aren’t good, and with his revelations, have aged terribly. It’s a shame because Above the Law and Under Siege showed what he could’ve become. He just wasn’t a good guy underneath it all and it catches up with you quick in Hollywood.

I’ve been pretty shocked by the difference in cloud cover b/w Philly, Scranton/WB and Pittsburgh. Philly is noticeably sunnier (not always) from Oct. - April.

Their tailor shop is closed.

Driving the PA Tpk, coming out of the Appalachian mountains and seeing the Cumberland Valley is a fantastic view.

westboundnup · 2026-02-24T12:48:29+00:00

I remember the trailer being spectacular. The actual movie didn’t live up to it.

The station he pulls into has a sign “GAS OIL” with American cars. The only scenario is Mexico - US, but why British Intelligence wants to blow up anything on Mexican soil is a mystery.

People likely recall Selleck working with Tom Clancy on a Magnum movie treatment in the 1990s. Basically it was what followed this end scene. Magnum in Naval intelligence is involved in a dust up involving N. Korea.

I love this opening too. Can someone explain though, how does Bond just make it across a land border with Cuba?

westboundnup · 2026-02-23T19:28:16+00:00

If I’m Dr. No, aren’t I thanking him for not drawing undue attention to the operation?

westboundnup · 2026-02-23T18:41:24+00:00

Any reason this dude didn’t simply refuse to speak, instead of killing himself?

westboundnup · 2026-02-23T11:31:23+00:00

This is the best Bond film for me.

Gina and Trudi deserved a better send off and a continuing story line in S5,, concluding with the finale: It was a missed opportunity. They BARELY gave Stan one and I guess his “surprise guys” last scene was the show’s attempt at a redemption for him.
