  • Something a little different: 1996 statuette of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, made by Dragon. I used luminous paint for the watch face :)

  • Obviously this is not the place for a Tintin discussion (although Daniel Craig did one of the voices!) but I really wanted to like the film more than I did. It had some brilliant elements but it didn't click for me.

  • I was talking about Carte Blanche in the pub last night (it was a Bond fan gathering, I wasn't just being a nuisance) and how much I liked the updating of Bond's background; how would someone become a double O in the modern age, without a wartime pa…

  • I enjoyed this very much - I like the characters and care about them, and the opening with the old-skool ident had me yelping with joy. Liking Cole's performance, too - yes, he's young, but his army experience has aged him up, made him cynical an…
