@Samuel001 Just read your post. I'm so sorry to hear of your terrible loss.

Happy New Year from Shanghai!

Yeah they do. Don't know how I ended up drifting away from them. Maybe my studies became too full on and after that I kind of stopped thinking about them. I remember being on a quest at the time to find second hand Fleming and Gardner Bond book…

@Villiers53 Damn, I wish this thread had have been started and I had found it before my holiday in New Zealand finished! :) Are these NZ sellers second hand books shops or online retailers who will post books abroad?

@Agent007391 I'll have to watch this film again but I see what you're driving at. Certainly the ending was by far my favourite part of the film. I don't remember everything in the movie though. Are they going to make a sequel? The movie definitel…

I picked up this book in the second hand book shop for very cheap back in the 90's. There was a time when I used to visit second hand book shops regularly. Never realised that Amis wrote this or if I had then I'd forgotten. A pleasant surprise.

Tatiana and Solitaire, especially the literary versions, are the two Bond girls who have always interested me more than the others with the exception of the dearly departed Tracy. Had Fleming remained alive for a few more years and continued writin…

Most interesting. Based on what is said, these books sound fascinating and I'd love to get a hold of them.

"As a side note, M and Mallory can be seen drinking Courvoisier VSOP cognac. SF could perhaps be the film featuring the most variety of alcohol consumed." @QBranch Another reason to like Skyfall!

They should have a proper old fashioned dance routine with real people in the pre-title sequence. Something like in the video below and also reminiscent of the beginning of David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive'. They could have nice Bondsque graphics i…

It would have felt a lot more natural too. What they did just feels the opposite, not to mention awkward.

I think Mendes needs to work on the humour. Some of the ones liners just don't really work with Craig. The humour in CR harmonised much better I thought with not only Craig's portrayal of the character but his acting skills and style. Some of the…

Well, Eon were determined to have Mendes back way back at the SF press conference when they hadn't even started filming or had only just begun. Were they aware from the beginning of the SF shoot that he had these theatre commitments? With Mendes…

I am determined this time to stay away from any plot spoilers except news that doesn't reveal such news like the name of the film and the locations. It would also mean staying away from the Bond 24 threads I would think. Are there many people wh…
