  • Well, just one building. l pity the chaps who hollowed out the volcano for Blofeld. ;)

  • The island in Skyfall was a great place for a villain's lair. It's a pity we never saw more of it. I would have liked to have seen what was upstairs as Silva came down in a lift. Some beautiful area with a dining room, lounge etc. with deep piled…

  • Craig's Bond scuba diving in Caribbean waters. Skiing would be good too but leave that to Bond 25. Dinner/lunch with the villain in a fairy tale type lair like in the Dr No and TMWTGG movies. In terms of the lairs, it's a bit of a problem think…

  • "Would Ireland be considered 'globe trotting'? There are rumors..." @JWESTBROOK I always thought that globetrotting was when someone goes to many different countries in one film. If Bond were to go to no more than two in the film excluding Londo…

  • Oh that's right. I did actually hear about Doohan's death but I had completely forgotten about it. Shame on me. Someone said that he didn't suit a moustache but I felt that it looked good on him. I don't know anything about the animated serie…

  • I wasn't really happy with the way they disposed of Kirk. I kind of thought that it would be nice if he was living in peace in whatever parallel universe he ended up in but at the same time as McCoy said at the beginning of Wrath of Kahn, he was a …
  • Looking forward to this film. I have the Lycett Fleming biography that this film will be based on. Maybe I should read it again. Great book. Aside for 'Spymaker' (a very jazzed up Bondsque version of the author's life) which I have on good ol'…
  • Speaking of OHMSS, what Steven Soderbergh says about Lazenby is a good point and it's how I feel about Daniel Craig in terms of his one liners as they don't really harmonise with his overall take on the character: "What seems obvious to me, thoug…

  • “That was really exciting, because I wanted to make women think to themselves,..." Bla, bla, bla... Harris talks like the 1960's has just ended.
  • I've recently finished watching all the original Star Trek films again and I have to say that I enjoyed 'The Search For Spock'. I also felt that 'The Wrath of Kahn' wasn't as good as I remembered it to be but still an entertaining film. I really li…
  • I like to watch OHMSS around Christmas time too. At least within 2 weeks of Christmas. Sometimes on Xmas day night and Xmas eve. One film I always watch on Xmas eve is 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'. Hilarious film.
