  • Well, I always perceived it as jokingly shooting the breeze. This is what I've been doing. Many films have subtle continuation errors. To slay them for this is ridiculous but I never got the impression anyone was doing this anyway.
  • LOL. I'm sure some will have a field day with this review! Let the games begin..! :)) It's a pity that SOLO lacked plot but the entertaining well crafted scenes in this book made it an entertaining read all the same. "Pastiche" seems to be a …
  • Certainly Boyd might not very well continue, but I'd like him too. He understands the Bond character and he's perfectly capable of writing a decent spy thriller plot which I think he would this time if he did come back. Many people do like SOLO to…
  • Bond had removed his waistcoat before driving White to Sienna too. ;)
  • Yeah, that's poor, the lack of continuity in terms of Bond wearing a different suit.

  • QOS should have been set in 2006 I reckon. It's not like it would have made much difference. The invitation in QOS should have read "2006".
  • It's just a cockney phrase for hairstyle/haircut. It doesn't refer to any specific hairstyle. There's a lot of cockney words/phrases. For example, "apples and pears" means stairs. Daniel Craig needs a different hair style for Bond 24. It was …

  • No reason. How much time do you think passed between the ending of CR and the beginning of QOS? One or two days? Bond was talking to M who was in her London office at the end of CR. He then went to White's house and shot him. QOS began with B…

  • Never read the novel but one thing I hate is when a film barely does any justice to the book it's based on. The end of WWZ was supposed to be another big action set piece but thank god Forster convinced the producers otherwise. I enjoyed the end…

  • If Mendes turns her back into a field agent though then this would be a big mistake I think.
  • timmer wrote: I'm with @Bounine. I'd dress Harris like Lois Maxwell and chain her to her desk. Occasional field trips maybe with M along the lines of submarine off the Japan coast. Customs booth ala DAF. Nothing too crazy though. Maybe a nice f…
  • I don't agree. What value? I think that they are bastardising the Moneypenny character. They gave her this lame, clichéd Hollywood backstory in SF and then she became desk bound and that's how it should now stay. They shouldn't suddenly reverse …

  • Wow! That was fantastic. Thanks for posting.

  • God knows why they can't just follow tradition and give us a good story without being unfaithful to a character who has been in the series since the beginning. Load of bollocks. If they want an action woman again, assign this task to one of the Bo…
  • I can't see any other reasons.
  • I never cared about Mendes returning and now I really wish he hadn't. He's messing with the characters too much. She's a damn secretary. That's it. I didn't even like what he did with MP in Skyfall. Bad news for us. Bad news for Bond.

  • The fact that it seems like Mendes will have Moneypenny out in the field "kicking arse" again is by far the worse news regarding Bond 24 for me so far. I don't mind the emotional stuff but now that we've had it for three films they should leave i…
