You can pick it up today for less than $10.

[Qwerty]

Oh, I know, but I have been spending a lot of money lately on Bond related stuff.

It's fine with me to watch it on TV. I never tire of it.

[JackChase007]

It also has a really good action score by the incredible Jerry Goldsmith.

[Qwerty]

Hmm, I don't remember the musical score, sorry.

I actually haven't seen it in a while, I remember one cable channel shows it quite often. I remember the very first bit of the film, but I don't recall the finale, doesn't Russell eventually meet up with Halle Berry's character again, or something like that?

[DLibrasnow]

What do you mean Qwerty?.....I mean the final scene is between Russell and Berry.

[Qwerty]

I just couldn't remember what happens after they stop the men on the plane, what happens to the characters etc...

That's what I meant, sorry if it was consfusing!

(I haven't seen Executive Decision in a while.)

[DLibrasnow]

Yeah they are talking outside the plane about going on a date and this car pulls up for Russells character saying he is wanted at the Pentagon....

[Qwerty]

Ah, I see. I thought it was something like that, I just remembered him seeing Halle Berry's character after the whole ordeal.
Thanks.

[DLibrasnow]

No problem.....as you can tell I am a fan of the movie and a fan in general of HALLE BERRY.

[Qwerty]

Yes, and I of Rosamund Pike, but we both know eachother enough to know that.

[DLibrasnow]

Ugh....well I guess someone has to like Pike LOL

[Qwerty]

Hey! No picking on her! I'll never stop defending her!

[DLibrasnow]

LOL.....she is just so ugly though!

[Qwerty]

No No No! Don't say such things! I have such a crush on her!

[DLibrasnow]

Seriously? I have never thought Pike was attractive -- sorry.

[Qwerty]

I mean it. Probably the way you described your crush on Lynn Holly-Johnson. I just like her!

[DLibrasnow]

Yeah....well I did have a huge crush on Lynn Holly Johnson back in 1981....I still think she is totally hot in that movie.

[Qwerty]

She's fine, but I still think that bedroom scene is a bit awkward, although quite comedic!

[DLibrasnow]

It is there for its comedic value.....However I would not have hesitated

[Qwerty]

LOL! Snow!

I think it's a littlw wierd in that film, but I don't mind it all that much.

[DLibrasnow]

Its played well though with that "ice cream" line.

[Qwerty]

LOL!

Ice cream in the middle of winter! Seems like a good thing though if she can't get what she really wants from Bond.

I guess I am one of the few people who really liked the Jinx character.....but then it was the pretty incredible looking Halle Berry too

I like Jinx, but I think people find her character too cliched. I think the whole "Bond equal" thing, especially when comes to the female characters is thrown around a lot. I really think there's no such thing yet. Anya was well written, but Bach's performance didn't do it for me. Characters like Jinx, Wai Lin, Holly Goodhead, Pam Bouvier and Anya Amasova, are often deemed as Bond equals, but they're more or like sidekicks for me. The producers are fooling themselves into thinking they're Bond equals because they can shoot a gun, performed krav maga, or martial arts, and hack into some kind of technical device or vehicle. Anya came halfway to being a female equivalent, her character of course had a personal vendetta, however I think it wasn't handled well. If you want a female equivalent of James Bond think of the character Charlie Baltimore from [i]The Long Kiss Goodnight[i]. It would be nice to see a character written in that way who I can genuinely say is a Bond equivalent, a tragic heroine if you will.

[DLibrasnow]

I couldn't care if she was cliched.....Halle Berry is amazing looking.

[007luvchild2]

I couldn't care if she was cliched.....Halle Berry is amazing looking.

Of course, I couldn't care either. Pierce don't even care, Part of his commentary where, her entrance scene comes up , he comments: "stop and rewind, and pause, stop, rewind, and pause." I was saying to myself, if I was a man I would zoom as well.

[DLibrasnow]

LOL....Yes, exactly she looks stunning in every shot she appears in.

[Qwerty]

I personally found the one line that Rosamund says about the scene of her and Halle Berry meeting to be excellent.

"Oh look at that look I'm giving Halle, bitch out of hell." Hilarious, and exactly Miranda's character in that scene.

[Agent 76]

Barbara Bach is hot back then , but Britt Ekland was better actress.

[DLibrasnow]

I really don't think we can talk about who was the better actress! That's got nothing to do with casting a Bond girl LOL
