I think they should name the film after a villain again. Silvertoe Just kidding. ;) I'm serious about my suggestion to name the film after the main villain though. It's been a long time.

If Fleming was referring to the fact that Commonwealth citizens should be welcome to live in the UK and UK citizens should be able to reside in other Commonwealth countries for as long as they want then I'm all for it. With the advent of the EU, th…

Nice article. Thanks for posting. Was he talking about all the various people from the countries of the Commonwealth leaving (he did mention 'emigration') or entering the UK or flowing in and out: "...but more particularly of a constant flow …

all the Fleming books should be remade, especially Moore's and follow the books completely 100%. if u disagree with that okay, I don't care, and I bet any money that will happen in the future

There are a number of sections from the Fleming novels that can be adapted for the screen. I've forever been hanging out to see The Hilbrand Rarity incorporated into a Bond movie. This is my favourite Bond short story. For me, the Bond stories th…

Back to Moonraker. I started reading this, then went on to another Jack Reacher, then By Royal Command and now I have returned to Moonraker.

Colonel Sun while relatively enjoyable is overrated in the Bond community I reckon. There are certainly some interesting situations but I find it on the dull side and the ending which is too short is somewhat of an anti climax. Sun's character isn…

How does Moonraker look on standard DVD? Some said that the lighting is off in parts such as the space station appearing too dark. What are your thoughts on this?

Why didn't Bond and M go to a safe house? Would they not have weapons there? Yes, I know that the audience had to get a chance to see Bond's home but I don't know why we couldn't just have Bond in a future film at the Skyfall manor having a look…

Thrilling Cities and Young Bond are good reads. In terms of Young Bond, Silverfin and By Royal Command are my favourites. Higson shows that he understands James Bond but it's over the top to think that a 13 to 14 year old Bond could have all these …

By Royal Command. Wonderful Bond book. Higson really understands Bond. I hope that Cole can also do such sweet justice to our favourite secret agent.

I think Ghost Protocol is either my favourite or second favourite in the series after the first Mission Impossible film. I've only seen MI4 once which was back when it was in the cinema so I'd have to see it again. Damn, that was almost two years …

I'm not a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes films but I'm looking forward to MI5. I hope that Jeremy Renner is in it. He's rumoured to be in it according to IMDB.

I'm so glad that Sky TV have lost the rights. Unless maybe the film is a new release, Bond should be available for everyone to enjoy for free as it is in many other countries. I always hated the way 24 and Prison Break were only available on Sky U…
