  • This seems like a good place to quote my favourite bit from David Bowker's From Stockport With Love, a charming little novel about fatherhood and being a Bond fan, on Thunderball: The book also contained my first ever sex scene, although I didn'…
  • Well put, @DarthDimi. I think I'll always prefer the ridiculous action of the Jolie films but I really enjoyed Alicia's take on a younger, more realistic Lara.
  • Thanks, @RogueAgent!
  • I also saw LTK in the cinema this week (not a big turnout at the Beckenham Odeon...) and boy does it work on the big screen. Biggest audience laugh: Pam responding "BULLSHIT" to Q's line about Bond shagging lots of women in the line of duty. T…

  • My local Odeon it's Tuesdays, other cinemas it's Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I guess it depends how many screens they have and what else is going on.
  • I watched The King's Daughter on Friday night with a friend. We came ready to be appalled and we were NOT disappointed. I can't put it better than this review: The King’s Daughter: Pierce Brosnan’s cursed mermaid stabbing movie finally gets re…

  • Here's Little Nellie! 90s reissue of a 60s kit - she was not easy to put together. However did Q and his assistants manage it so fast? I printed some screenshots onto photo quality paper and mounted on foamboard for the backdrop.

  • Welcome! @Brofeld, I'm gonna smile every time I see your username. And @Universal_Exports83, that was a beautifully eloquent post, so no worries on that front.

  • Talking about the heat with a friend, I remembered the opening of the Tintin adventure The Shooting Star, where the approaching meteorite causes oppressive heat, tyres burst and pavements melt.

  • And booked - Charlie Higson talking Bond is always good value too. Thanks for the heads up!
