If John McTiernan was in charge of directing a Bond movie, he would've worked wonders with Brosnan.

 

Just watch him in "The Thomas Crown Affair".

 

Has almost all the ingredients for a great Bond movie...without really being a Bond movie.

 

Pierce is not a bad actor; however, he also sings, and it is not pleasant for the ears if you ever saw that other movie (not meaning Thomas Crown Affair).  🤣

Spot on regarding the first five being classics. Admittedly YOLT can be a little silly and Connery does seem less engaged, but it’s a gorgeous looking movie with one of Barry’s best soundtracks, period.

OHMSS for me is part of the triumvirate of perfect Bond films, along with FRWL and Goldfinger. Contrary to general opinion, I believe that Lazenby deserves tons of credit for making that movie such a classic.

He had the looks, the brute strength and most importantly, the required gravitas for the more emotional scenes. 
Every time I watch that ending scene, I am thoroughly impressed by his subtle and understated performance.

Brosnan is by far the worst Bond. Granted, it didn’t help that he was mostly served rubbish material but it’s his annoyingly smug Bond that really rubs me the wrong way.
I do like him in other roles, though.

You Only Live Twice did give us the Austin Powers franchise, so I give it props for that.  Nothing like the book, but the film was crazy over the top.

I thought the same thing 😂, “Mike not paying for that $hit! He got premiums to pay for”.

 

@Veum might need to sell those teeth to pay for those premiums.

In all seriousness though, @Veum. Hope it goes well for you. 

 

Have you ever asked them for something to help with the pain afterward?

For me Sean Connery was just amazing and will always be the best Bond.  The first 5 movies were just gold. Daniel Craig will come in second, Pierce third, Dalton fourth, Moore fifth, and poor George Lazenby sixth, probably just because he only was in the one movie.

No just didn’t have dentist appointments in the past *stupidly* and ended up with periodontal disease on some areas… but the good thing is nothing hurts and teeth still intact (except maybe front right tooth, could loose it and look like this 😛)…

 

Just have them replace it with a gold tooth.

Discuss who you think has been the best and worst James Bond actor and why.

This is just a deep/intense cleaning however it can still hurt in spots and seems to last forever! 😳 

 

Sounds like you have been eating too much sweets @Veum

Not that far off if they hit a nerve… squirming  😜

 

Who needs a dentist.  Just grab the pliers.

Just finished Ms. Marvel.  Haven't start Shehulk yet. I guess Ms. Marvel was entertaining.  It certainly wasn't a bad series, but Marvel pizzazz is starting to wane.  They just haven't connected this phases entries together well.

On the way to your dental appointment I think your dog needs to go to the vet, looks like he is seizing.

@R1s1ngs0n wanted to reach out to you to see what is going on with the Shaken, Not Stirred club.  Looks like we have 10 members now but no posts.  In fact I can't even find a way to post comments in that club at this time.

Thank you for notifying us! I just pre-ordered it. 😄 The price seems a little steep for a Warner release. Also, do we know yet if the Italian release has Italian Steelbooks? 👀

You bring up a good point, but as far as I am aware all Harry Potter steelbook released from Italy have had titles in English.  The first France gloss HP steelbook set had French language on titles, but the most recent French HP steelbook set was in English.  Don't know for sure but these will very likely be in English.

I am wondering if that outercase will be metal.  It sure looks like it is going to be some kind of cardboard per the pictures.  Pictures say super rigid slipcase which sounds like cardboard to me.

Happy Thursday psychos!  May your mailboxes be filled with treasures today.

Top notch shipping from Manta.  OCs always safely packaged in the foam box, and this one made it from Hong Kong to my front door in a week.

Update from Collectong:

 

Dear Customers,

 

Today, we were informed by our distributor that The Batman One Click edition will be postponed to the end of this month due to the problems with the color of the final product. 

 

The One Click box turned out to be different in color compared to the final sample so they've decided to remake the boxes again.

 

We apologise for the delay with the shipment and we hope to ship them out as soon as we receive them. 

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience. 

 

Best regards,

Collectong

On the brightside, at least Manta communicated this to us and thinks it will only be delayed by a month.  I like that they care about quality control and reviewed the boxset color before just sending it out to the customers.

Good to know! I just checked and it's still there. Which is crazy it would be there for almost a month. But yeah, hopefully your package being on the move now is a good sign for me! 🍻 

So my other item from WeET just arrived in my city, and then 4 hours later it departed to another city.  Good grief.
