  • I like how Bond's childhood will be included in this. It's about time we learn more about his background. I remember mentioning this years ago and a number of people on this forum were against it, saying that we don't need to know about Bond's his…

  • "Suits are pretty drab and dull things and are often associated with businessmen or anyone with 9-5 jobs. Bond therefore has a slight chore in trying to stay a cut above and elevating the suit and making it look glamourous." @Pierce2Daniel I d…
  • I wear black leather gloves. :) I think Craig looks very stylish here despite the fact that I don't like suits with double pockets, the kind of lapels that he has and the boots with the chrome buckles. Is this the first time Bond has worn a pocket…
  • I think the point collar is alright.
  • Don't like the double breasted suit either...and down with the "pocket square"! :)

  • I think that if faithful small screen adaptations were made, they'd have to be set in the period in which they were written to be truly faithful. I wouldn't want to see modern adaptations.
  • No, I don't think DN, FRWL, GF, TB and OHMSS have been done properly. Faithful adaptations of the Fleming books would be wonderful and this is something I've always wanted but if they were done on TV, they'd need to have truly talented actors, maybe…
  • Not a fan of that title. I hope not, personally.
  • Villiers53 wrote: » Actually, when I look back at @Risico007's starting post, he refers to "Murder On Wheels" being the start so I guess it is the curtain raiser? That said, when I attended the 'Moriarty' launch, Anthony just referred to includin…
  • Colonel Sun certainly had some good bits that were Flemingsque but overall I find the book somewhat lacklustre and overrated in the literary Bond community.
  • I've read some of Sebastian Faulk's books and I think they're first class. Then, look at the result of the miserable Devil May Care. Having said that, Faulks supposedly didn't take the task seriously.
  • I'm currently staying in a hotel on The Bund in Shanghai. I watched the lacklustre light show at midnight from my hotel room. It wasn't until the following day that I found out about the tragic occurence that took place just down from where I was …

  • @bondjames said: "In my humble opinion, Naomi Harris should be grateful to be associated with Bond, even if she's relegated to being behind a desk." I agree, seeing she can't act very well. http://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=11604&…

  • It's obvious that Michael G. Wilson will be playing Blofeld and Barbara Broccolli will play his twin sister. The first part of the film will be set 30 years in the past and the future Moneypenny will be Blofeld's love child. Blofeld's lover from Ja…
  • "they've all had one liners.... why should Craig's films be devoid of them?" @haserot As I said, they don't suit his portrayal of the character as Roger Moore said too. They didn't suit Dalton either. One of the great flaws of the Bond films…
  • There are many things I like the sound of in this film but I cannot get past the fact that they'll be throwing in the cheesy throwaway/one liners. This really puts me off, reduces my excitement for the release and will certainly hinder my enjoyment…
  • Yes, I was about to make a post suggesting that Eon must have decided to just quietly throw Quantum on to the scrap heap without any kind of wrap up to it all. Now, they will obviously be addressing Quantum, thank God.
