We should encourage actors being honest with elements of their roles that are perhaps uncomfortable or just plain bad. Otherwise we end up with Jennifer Lawrence and her one, really bored, facial cue during the X-Men films.
Name a spy movie most people hate but you love
My number one Bond movie. Itโs often underrated and misunderstood. Brosnan is on top form, M is given an arc for the first time ever and it plays well into the villainessโs plot, Renard is a fascinating henchman/ simp, itโs great.
@BritishGQ
Francis? Thatโs not Dune youโre thinking of itโs Mad Max: Fury Road. Also leave Bond alone itโs an institution thatโs been around longer than you have.
Sorry guys. This is for me the worst car chase in Bond.
Itโs like a highly choreographed car showcase with bad gags than an actual chase, Iโm half expecting Craig to turn into Richard Hammond at points and tell us, the audience, how much brake horsepower the car has.
Bondโs high-speed chase with Hinx outside St. Peterโs Basilica in the Vatican features a striking choral section from Thomas Newmanโs score.

Rest in peace Michael Gambon. A truly iconic actor who I have enjoyed in the likes of Layer Cake, Sleepy Hollow and Kingsmen: The Golden Circle.

Loving seeing so many people ranking this underrated gem of a Bond film so high in their 2022 rankings. Is it possible that weโre seeing a reappraisal on the same level as Licence To Kill?
This scene from Spectre is the only time in the film, sans the excellent long take in the pre-titles, that I get any sense of Sam Mendes being present in the filmmaking process. For such a lazily crafted and poorly written film this scene is exquisite.
@WrestleClips
This one may be really harsh but if you have ever had the unfortunate experience of sitting through a Ron Waterman dark match on YouTube from his time with WWE you will see just how uncharismatic and flat out terrified he looks during his entrances.
@Ashy_slashee
Starship Troopers but also the fact that me and my sister have had the privilege of meeting him and he was hilarious. Gruff as you would expect and just brilliant with us.

Very happy birthday to

OBE a very happy 69th birthday. Pierce appeared on the Des O'Connor Christmas Special in 1999 talking about his latest stint as 007 in the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough.

Day 29: Female Bond
Iโm not advocating for this route as I personally (and please donโt hate me here) would like to see Bond continue as a male character (of any ethnicity), but if I had to choose a female Bond then Hayley Atwell would be my pick.

@PierceBrosnan
His performance across from Sophie Marceau in The World Is Not Enough needs more mainstream love and attention as I think that film as a whole gets forgotten about or misremembered as โThe Denise Richards oneโ. Brosnan is absolutely phenomenal in that film.
@WrestleTalk_TV
Itโs a sad state of affairs that the women (in both major companies) have been relegated to such an afterthought. Maybe itโs time to get the

Whether it be lighting up the screen in the historical epic Braveheart or manipulating her way into James Bond and our hearts as the villainous Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough Marceau is truly a wonderful actress.
@KevBot_007
Brosnanโs interactions were always my favourite because it looks like the two genuinely were having a blast in their scenes together and their interaction were some of the funniest in all of Bond.

Elektra drawing Bond, M and even Renard in thanks to her power over men and master-manipulation skills that make her look like an innocent victim is an absolute joy to watch in TWINE each time. She is cold and it brings out the best in Pierce as an actor in their scenes.
I honestly canโt believe that the basement dwellers in the 2010โs went after Anne Hathaway of all people, what did she do other than win an Oscar?
Thanks Nolan as a fan who has Interstellar as my favourite film of his and Anne is one of the biggest reasons why.
Anne Hathaway says she didnโt get any roles after winning an Oscar because studios were worried about โhow toxic my identity had become onlineโ
โI had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that & gave me one of the most beautiful roles Iโve hadโ

Day 12: Most fun moment.
Boat chase from The World Is Not Enough. Great stunt work, exciting and has one of the best scores in the series. Just 007 heaven for me from start to finish.
Bonus point for leading into my favourite Bond title song.
@slshrs
I have two potentially controversial ones.
They Live is better than Halloween for me.
I found the first hour of Midsommar slow and ponderous but admittedly enjoyed the rest. Same for Black Christmas 1974.
@JaisonGohil
The World Is Not Enough. Him across from Sophie Marceau where he gets to play the role with a little more of an interpersonal plot line and a harder edge really helps that film be what it is for me.
@wrestlelamia
Imagine a spot where the Bloodline, Sami, Jey, Jimmy and Solo are across the ring from the Ruthless Aggression stars like Mr. Kennedy, Chris Masters, Carlito and Booker T. That would be awesome, then throw Edge, Rey, Dom and Lashley all out there afterwards.
@GoldenEraDoco
Personally I disagree, I think thereโs 4 great songs from his era (including โSurrenderโ by K.D. Lang) and one dud with Die Another Day. My favourite would have to be โThe World Is Not Enoughโ by Garbage. Itโs such a perfect villain anthem.
After watching in cinema Moonraker has jumped from 19th in my old rankings to currently sitting 5th in my new 60th anniversary ones.
I project it will end up somewhere in top 10 after all films have been watched again at cinema.
@007
All awesome (apart from the gruelling โSaved by the bellโ quote in Die Another Day) but The World Is Not Enough is a mini movie all of itโs own and itโs a damn good one too so that.
Whatโs the best twist youโve seen in a spy movie?
Elektra King was the real villain all along and the anarchist Renard was just her lackey. The kidnap victim became the kidnapper and 007 is caught up in believing the lie and falls for her. TWINE is chefs kiss ๐.
