Bond theme songs are iconic. Some of them are more memorable for me personally, but that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily favorites.
I love the new Lana del Rey song and it’s top-tier for me at the moment. I also love “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell not only as a Bond theme but also for the amazing visuals.
Some songs like “Goldfinger” are very appreciated but a bit more nostalgic.
How about you?
Hi there, I am doing a movie film fest for Bond, which has been superb.
But between Bond films, I'd love to watch the best "non-Bond" Bond movies out there.
These are movies that are not part of the Bond franchise in any way but either 1) echo the themes of James Bond in clear ways (Mission: Impossible) or 2) provide some of the inspirations behind particular Bond films (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Bruce Lee movies).
Some film series, such as The Bourne Identity, can be in both categories!
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Much appreciated!
Hi there. I'm getting back into James Bond, and there are certainly some classic games from that venerable franchise.
But I'm much more interested in what you would suggest as the best "Bond-style" games that are not James Bond games at all. Hitman, for example, definitely has some of the storytelling DNA, and I see some clear parallels in the Metal Gear Solid series.
I'd welcome any and all suggestions, old and new. Thanks!
Hi there! Perhaps my favorite trope in all of science fiction is the "abandoned station."
Star Trek II had it in the scenes on Regula I. And, of course, the Alien series is SO fantastic at it. Event Horizon had the same feel, as did The Thing.
I'd love to get your spoiler-free recommendations for "abandoned stations" of any kind. (I gravitate toward space, pun intended, but I love underwater, the post-apocalyptic, the arctic! Anything!)
Thanks so much, fellow lovers of liminal space and creepy vibes!
Hi there! Perhaps my favorite trope in all of science fiction is the "abandoned station."
Star Trek II had it in the scenes on Regula I. And, of course, the Alien series is SO fantastic at it - both in the films and in the game Alien: Isolation. (And if we stretch things a bit, Bioshock has much the same flavor.)

EDIT: The station doesn't have to actually be completely abandoned. There can be things or people scuttling about in the dark!
Hi there! I am looking to make sure I've covered the best sci-fi games of all time.
I'm a "space-forward" sci-fi player, so Mass Effect and Prey are personal favorites. But I am open to all subgenres, such as sci-fi horror (Signalis). I really love post-apoc as well!
Thanks for any suggestions.
I love Uncharted, and I'm trying to find some great complements that have the same sense of action/adventure. Thanks for any suggestions!
Hello there! I'm keen to play the best of Bond. Could you kindly recommend the finest games, from any era?
Thanks so much!
