My Blackwell's of Oxford copy of FAAD arrived today. Quick delivery from Jolly Old. Less than a week. Alas, it is not a signed copy. They did ship signed copies of the recent 4-title run of Steve Cole Young Bonds. But they did send nice thank-…

For some reason No Deals Mr Bond always stands out for me. It had some good violent bits in it. Bond had some nasty edge in this book. The first two were good reads too.

Bond is the ultimate. If done well. There is nothing better. I would encourage Eon to continually strive to catch the tone of the '60s films. The essence of the character can be found there too. I do like the MI films. I've got them all on Blu-ray.…

Not that it matters as there is no way to keep pace , but it does seem that the Marvel Cinematic Universe series beginning with Ironman in 2008 will soon pass Bond as longest running continuous film series. I think they are up to, what 19 entries n…

That Roger Moore book is real interesting. It was basically impossible to find when it first came out, at the time of the film, and then it disappeared into the realm of very rare Bond collectible. Now it's back, dusted off and spruced up for a new…

Right The Beatles were already established hitmakers in 1962, while Jagger Richards and Brian Jones were slumming together, eking out a living, at their infamous Edith Grove dump of a flat. The Beatles would visit them at the flat and hang out. Ac…

I am a Stones fan first, but weren't the Fab 4 just ahead of them Stones formed in July 1962. Their first single release was Chuck Berry's Come On, June 1963 I'm not sure of the Beatles timeline

Great work! That's real funny, merging arguably Britian's two greatest '60s cultural icons

I don't believe any first-billed Bond girls have passed yet. First-billed is obvious I think, but for maybe Marceau & Richards in TWINE and maybe Mie Hama & Akiko Wakabayashi in YOLT. Personally I'd defer to Mie in YOLT as she played the ic…

@TripAces Very much looking forward to this article. Don't think much has been done on this topic. Fleming established Bond as an accomplished skier. Rog's rock climbing in FYEO, I think was consistent with what we could reasonably expect from Bo…

I've got no problem rooting for Brady. He's easily my favourite quarterback to watch over the last decade plus. As for Deflategate I could care less. The truth of pro-sport is that the brinksmanship and bending and twisting of rules, done by player…

I've always had a soft spot for TMWTGG. Rog looks real good as Bond. I love the Barry music including the full-throat bellow Lulu title song. The movie has a neat vibe about it. Almost spooky at times. The casting of Lee, Adams, Ekland and Villech…

Browns might actually win a game! They've got a one-touchdown lead over the Aaron Rogers-less Packers with two minutes to go!
