Since you're looking for indirect references: Cranes are featured in both OHMSS and CR (2006) (presumably in many others too). There are birds which share the same name. So "cranes" are in the Bond films.

How about if we source it from anybody who wants to participate, which would make it easier? So if anyone is going to watch a James Bond film and wants to take part; 1) Find the longest take [might be tough i.e. two takes are only 1 second off, b…

Could we get the moment and time stamp for "longest single take in each Bond film"? This means no editing, i.e. SPECTRE's intro doesn't count. We should allow fade-ins or fade-outs as part of the shot. Once the next image is completely on screen the…

When I previously watched the film I also thought about Le Chiffre pulling off a double-bluff but that wouldn't make sense because Vesper is already helping Le Chiffre (and White and Quantum). Here's the proof that she was telling Le Chiffre everyth…
-
I always saw Le Chiffre as a 'number 2' and Mr. White as 'number 1' i.e. his boss. Of course Quantum is only a branch to SPECTRE, as we now know, and Blofeld is 'number 1'. We see Le Chiffre stare down that warlord at the beginning. Therefore I thin…

You're correct about Le Chiffre not being the 'type' to get taken in. However, at this point in the film, he has little choice. He is telling Bond that if he doesn't get the code then he'll go to MI6 (M wants this to happen, so she will accept him).…

https://timeout.com/london/blog/the-night-manager-scores-a-second-series-030817 They want to make a second series but no idea when though. All the Susanne Bier and Hiddleston advocates for Bond will be saddened I presume. Considering that this w…

Since I've already had my go at praising the film (and Birdleson has written many essays :) ) I think that I'll focus instead on what they could have done better in certain aspects to the film, even if it's hard to do so... and believe me when I say…

TLD is in my top 5, such a great film.
-
The chicken feather (bad omen) in LIVE AND LET DIE counts I guess. Bond definitely says "chicken" if I recall correctly (been a while since I've watched it).

Hmm interesting, also on Chrome here... but I guess it doesn't matter in the end. I'll probably stick with the British spelling since we're on a Bond forum :)
-
That might be it. Although, it's not a problem on other websites... What's the preferred spelling here?

Quick Q: why does the site mark "English" spelling (favourite) as incorrect? Ironic, no? Are there more US members on this website perhaps?

Casino Royale (2006): Thoughts This is my first post on this thread and I hope that my thoughts are welcomed here, since the majority of you have participated from the very start. Anyway, it just so happens that I watched CR (2006) on Thursday to…

How have some people not seen that but they've noticed the club-pixels on the moniter before?!

I love the chemistry that Connery and Bianchi have in that movie. The entire train sequence when she's getting ready is golden.

@deucelow I think you're meant to edit out the previous +1 and you also left out Craig's tally at the bottom :>
-
In CR (2006)'s title-sequence after two 0s are shot into a playing card and it shows "007" on an old pc screen, the 'pixels' are made up of clubs (card suit).

I guess that's true. Also, if anyone likes somebody other than Barry = controversial *o*
