She's wickedly talented, you know... Well, the girl has to pay the rent. If then, when? Are you quoting Idina movies at me? Musicals, although I guess rent is both movie and musical My Idina knowledge begins and ends with Frozen. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Elsa was in Glee... I've been enchanted with her for a while now. If I ever ran into her, I would ask just a kiss from her. It would be better than kissing Jessica Stein. Water lot of titles you got in there... "Water?" Gonna have to look for that one.

Anyone laboring under the impression that Dalton was not a great Bond or that somehow Craig's Bond was the most Fleming-esque (TOTALLY ****ING ABSURD - someone just made that claim again to me the other week ) needs to read The Living Daylights and then watch the Bratislava sequence that follows the opening credits in the film. That IS James Bond, Agent 007 as Ian Fleming envisioned him - no one would confuse Dalton's Bond for Jason Bourne or The Night Manager. :doh: Well... Have you anything else to declare then? Maybe a cello? I still have the special edition CD soundtrack, that I listen to in city traffic. One of the best scores as well ever in a Bond film (Barry?), especially considering David Arnold's "work" in the Brosnan ones.

Twice on solo tours and twice in the musical If/Then, once during previews and once on Broadway. She's on a whole other level live.

I thought Fleming wanted David Niven for the role -- one of the original film producers is on record as saying Fleming even wrote Casino Royale with Niven in mind. They were both at the top of Fleming's list in the beginning, though the snobbish Fleming eventually warmed up to Connery's portrayal so much that he made the literary Bond half-Scottish. In Casino Royale (the first novel), Bond is described as looking like Hoagy Carmichael with a scar on his cheek. He's also variously described in the books as being cold and ruthless, with a cruel smile - when I think of that, I envision something close to how they portrayed Bond in the '60s comic strip (regardless of what Fleming himself might have thought). Among the cinematic 007s, I think Timothy Dalton came closest in both looks and portrayal - no surprise, since he studied the novels and purposely modeled his Bond on what he read. There are several moments in The Living Daylights where he is stone cold ruthless, cruel and world weary as if leaping out of one of Fleming's books. I'd like to see that again. Like Craig, I think Hiddleston is a fine actor, but wrong for the part. I'm sure the producers are drooling over the prospect of a younger, sexier Bond, but I get this feeling that they and the general movie-going public would be happy to see anyone who's good-looking, fit, has a British accent and can sell tickets play the role, whereas I really would like to see them find someone who fits the nuances of the part. James Bond should be James Bond, not just some generic British secret agent (which is really what Craig's Bond was). Cary Grant played the best Bond role to date. Eva Marie Saint (the best Bond girl.) James Mason (the best villain.) and Martin Landeau (as the most complicated henchman ever.) Everything in this 1959 movie I'm talking about, from the score to the set pieces trump every Bond since (Loved Goldfinger and Skyfall though.)

I want to know what some of these "The Best Movie Ever!" posters think are great movies myself. I mean I constantly sample movies from every genre from The Witch, Carol, Ex Machina, Brooklyn, High Noon, King Kong ('33), The 39 Steps ('35), Room, etc. I rarely go gaga over big-budget blockbusters (GotG and The Force Awakens excluded). I can watch something like Man of Steel or Deadpool and realize it's a solid movie, but won't give it four stars because it's good to begin with. Most of these good movies like The Winter Soldier are just disposable entertainment that is going to evaporate from my mind down the road, because they tie into too many other movies to be one whole (I mention this because I watched the 29 year old The Big Easy last night. 30 years ago, I never thought I would watch that one again. But it had character development right up until the very end that holds up, like you only see in an origin movie.) 30 years from now, I predict I'll only be watching Christopher Reeve's first two Supermen, Michael Keaton's Batmen, the Nolan Dark Knight's and a few Marvel ones (Spider-Man 2.0, GotG and a quartet of X-Men.)

Idina.

"Based on the hit CBS series."

Not yet but I just checked it out and think she'd like it. She's currently into watching "PJ Masks" on Disney Jnr. That's an awesome introduction into superheroes. I highly recommend it to parents whose kids don't seem interested in superheroes Adventures of Supergirl #2 out today.

No. But, I can think of a few (Cyrus, Lohan, Lovato) that crashed and burned after the Disney experience.

Steve, has your kid caught Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir yet? Seems like a great Supergirl/superhero launching point for the wee one.

They have the foundation for a great show. They just need to tweak a few things. Like say bye-bye to James Olsen, give Kara a week off from being super once and a while, visit another city once in a while (even Nancy drew left River Heights once and a while,) she needs a younger version of herself for the audience to connect with better for a second season, no more villains in matching jumpsuits, Faye Dunaway really needs to show up, etc. Nope & nope I like James Olsen... am I in the minority? Probably not. I have a feeling some boardies on here will chime in to put me in my place. To me, he has zero chemistry with Benoist. The whole affair feels rushed. By the last episodes, he was an after thought somewhat, until the plot mechanics needed him as a "damsel in distress." Maybe, I'm just protective of Benoist's character who is so innocent as well. I don't know. Just my I know, I know. About Dunaway, "Forget it Jerel, it's National City."

ABC was cost cutting up a storm right down to her actual spinning transformations into WW. Gone went the slow-mo ballerina spinning as it changed into an explosion that no one seemed to ever hear.

I see you left out First Class. I thought for such a great movie, it did underwhelmingly modest domestic numbers for a X-Men movie.

I know. I haven't watched a leaked movie since Wolverine: Origins.

Jane Bond That will do as good as the upcoming Ghostbuster reboot at the box office. James Bomb! I guess you didn't catch "Spy" last summer. <3 Rose Byrne -cast her as 007!

Jane Bond Tatiana Maslany? She might be Canadian, but she could pull it off. She also could also play M, Q, Felix, the Bond Girl, the Bond Babe, the henchman, the villain...

Truth.

Finished! It didn't offend me, just bored me, like really really bored Not quite the same experience you had when you watched The Incredibles for the first time, huh?

It becomes so terrible, it starts to actually work on that level. Still not as bad as Batman & Robin. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance or Crow: Wicked Prayer.

Deja vu of what? Are you guys on drugs tonight must be since it is Friday the 13th lolll!! You're alright.

Deja vu?
