    Heineken has even extended its influence to the movies. There's a whole
    exhibition room about the link between James Bond and Heineken,
    including authentic props from the movies!

    Anyone here who likes SpongeBob?

    Seasons 5 episode "Spy Buddies" is a very funny parody of James Bond and Mission: Impossible.

    In F9, the scene with Vin Diesel and Helen Mirren is shot and scored like a Bond film.

    Got to see two Bond references today. First, I watched a few minutes of Tatoo Fixers, and one of the clients had "Live and Let Die" inked on his/her chest. When he/she showed it, the strings of the movie's theme played.

    Second (under spoilers) :
    In the movie Black Widow, Natacha, when hiding from the authorities, watches Moonraker (a movie she seems to know by heart) in a caravan. At the end, during the climactic battle, she gets to enact one of the most famous scenes in the movie. Watch it and you'll see. I don't know if it was done on purpose, but it would be nice if it was, no ?

    So Heineken has bought its way into the Bond heritage in order to sell its taste-free concoctions that pass for beer in some places. Rarely has a product-placement (save maybe the AMC cars in TMWTGG) item fitted less for Bond than that diluted barley broth.

    Uh, no. I noticed it in one scene, might have been episode 5 or 6. At least it looked like that car for me.

    Another one from Twin Peaks. When Agent Cooper has been shot, he learns that it was with a Walther PPK, "the gun of James Bond."

    In the Department S episode "A Fish Out of Water", we can see some YOLT advertising outside a cinema – seen from Jason King's point of view as he looks down, while hiding from some bad guys outside the window of a Beirut apartment.

    The episode also features Cyril Shaps (Bechmann in TSWLM), and Maggie Wright (uncredited Flying Circus pilot in GF).

    That was a great location. They should have filmed the climax there, with Dr Jones running around with a machine gun. In a bikini.

    Hanging upside down from a rope like in QOS; walking on a rope like Connery did under the oil rig. The author will have plenty of rope material for another five books after they watch TWINE.

    I just stumbled across this (your link) belatedly but found it had been blocked/deleted for copyright reasons in the meantime...

    UPDATE: I can still find it on YouTube and just watched it. Hilarious! "Bond. Dieter Bond."

    Oh geez, of course, and here's dense me thinking, "Yeah, I guess Bond does hang from a lot of things in TWINE...the window blinds cord, the hot air balloon, his watch piton, the chains in the bunker. Dunno if I can think of five though..."

    A local news website has an article containing a "List of illegal baby names in the U.S. and around the world".

    Here is a selection of the banned baby names:

    * Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii (New Zealand)
    * Chief Maximus (New Zealand)
    * Robocop (Mexico)
    * Sex Fruit (New Zealand)
    * Linda (Saudi Arabia)
    * Snake (Malaysia)
    * Friday (Italy)
    * Islam (China)
    * Sarah (Morocco)
    * Osama bin Laden (Germany)
    * Metallica: (Sweden)
    * Prince William (France)
    * Devil (Japan)
    * Blue (Italy)
    * Circumcision (Mexico)
    * Quran (China)
    * Harriet (Iceland)
    * Cyanide (United Kingdom)
    * Monkey (Denmark)
    * Thor (Portugal)
    * 007 (Malaysia)

    Shame on you Malaysia! If proud Bond fans wish to give the fruit of their loins the greatest number in the world instead of a conventional appellation, let them!
