  • Skyfall This film barely featured any dates or times, so its place within the Craig Bond timeline is relatively unclear at the moment. The one date that's notable is the 1962 "50 year old Macallan," which puts Skyfall in the year 2012. Of course,…
  • Checked the podcast again and there's an after show on Moonraker that features unheard clips of their discussion. Only 26 mins so a bit more digestible than the full episode if you don't have much spare time. "Any movie that cuts to a reaction sh…

  • In terms of the Bond films I watch most often it would have to be these five: - You Only Live Twice. Not even remotely the best Connery Bond film but it's an easy watch with perfect atmosphere. - A View To A Kill. Just a very harmless film that …
  • Not sure where to put this but since there's no Tarantino thread... There was an episode this week on The Video Archives Podcast where co-host Quentin Tarantino was discussing Moonraker for the first hour of the show. I figured I'd share his main…
  • I think the point was that they wouldn't be talking about the CIA finding Le Chiffre's body had it been 2 years since it occurred. On the timeline above, one month would've passed since his death.
  • Connery - YOLT Lazenby - OHMSS Moore - AVTAK (my absolute fave theme song) Dalton - TLD Brosnan - TWINE Craig - CR

  • Quantum of Solace Didn't come across any noteworthy conflicting info during my rewatch of QoS. It seems to align with Casino Royale rather well. Yes there was the invitation saying 2008 but I think we've agreed to view that as an innocent typo. …

  • So I've updated the timeline with the new information. What do you guys think about the following events being part of the same day: 12 July 06/morning: Bond watches Vesper sleeping. Mathis frames Le Chiffre's men using the dead bodies. Date?/nigh…

  • To start I've made a list of events from watching Casino Royale by noting down every scene or mention of time. Many of these events can be up for discussion, especially one key issue I found that we should probably address. 1. Dimitrios sent the …

  • I was bouncing around Europe last month and got to visit many Bond locations including those in Paris, Monaco, Rome, Venice (the courtyard as seen in MR/CR being my absolute highlight) and Prague. I didn't have the time to visit Karlovy Vary and Lok…
