On tv (or rather dvd box set) Nikita. The new version with Maggie Q. I found the first season very enjoyable.

I've just been listening to the music posted a bit farther up the page. God, it's gorgeous. Are there any contenders for better Bond music by Barry or otherwise? It also reminds me of his Black Hole music out the same year. Anyway, here's a quest…

I've learned to enjoy it for what it is. There's some good investigating by Roger, good locations, wonderful music and two of the most gorgeous Bond girls ever, Corinne Clery and Lois Chiles. Good acting from Roger after the centrifuge almost kills…

LTK: "Don't you want to know why?"

Just spotted the first nine covers on Amazon. Meh. Not worth collecting so it will save me some money I suppose. I'm interested to see what the other series of covers looks like, not that I'm hopeful that they are any good.

I can't believe I didn't remember this gem... Roger: 'My name's Bond, James Bond.' Mr Big: 'Names is for tombstones, baby.'

In no particular order... GoldenEye: Trevelyan: 'England is about to learn the cost of betrayal. Inflation adjusted from 1945.' Lost from Licence to Kill: Sanchez: 'What did he promise you, his heart? Giver her his heart.' Dario: 'Don't w…

Over the years I read a lot of books about the Titanic, but it wasn't until the time of the Cameron movie that I "got" it. Not because of the movie though. A local newspaper reprinted an interview with a survivor that they had from years bef…

Guild publishing is just another name for bca. I know because I got a lot of books from the thriller book club in the mid 1990s. The guild hardbacks tended to be the same size as the hodder hardbacks and I believe they were even printed by hodder in…

Just went browsing around the MI6 site and discovered they have a perfectly good Bond book section. I'll really have to up my game!

Thanks Saunders. 95% of the cover images are scans of my own copies, hence any bias towards Fleming and the earlier editions. I have a bunch of Gardner paperbacks to scan plus I need to incorporate the Penguin editions, at least the ones I like. …

I hope no one minds if I put my website link in this thread. I've been looking for a more appropriate thread but can't see one. If this is the wrong place please let me know. Basically I've been doing a lot of work on my Ian Fleming/James Bond we…

Yeah, "complements of sharky" is a favourite. And the squeaky wheel in goldeneye.

OP: dressed as a clown. "There's a bomb in that cannon." everyone laughs. So he smashes the door open. They see the countdown. That shuts them up. TLD: "Stuff my orders, I only kill professionals. That girl didn't know one end of a rifle from the…

That's a great collection of the 'big boxes'. Did you get the Brosnan releases as well?
-
Today in The Works I spotted the Carte Blanche hard back for just £3.99. And off topic from the same publisher they have the Stephen King novel from last year, 11-22-63, for just £4.99.

Can anyone confirm that OHMSS, TLD and LTK were released in the 1992/93 "Movie Poster" series? My memory is that the Sean Connery movies were released in 1992 and the others in 1993. However the inside of my TMWTGG video sleeve only shows the …

116 and 117 arrived yesterday.

Yeah, I was just going to say it reminded me of QOS. In this age of photoshop it might be the best we can hope for.

"Game over, man! Game over!" One of the other marines has a great line when Gorman tells them they can use their guns. "What are we supposed to use, harsh language?"

Endings I like: DN - Bond letting go of the rope so he and Ursla can snog. FRWL - Bond chucking the film away in Venice. TB - awkwardly edited gadget sequence where bond infaltes the balloon thing so the plane can get him. No snogging! Looks li…

Ok, it does look like they're gonna drag this thing out until Skyfall at least. Stations wagons are fine. Pick ups are fine. Taxis are fine. Sort of. But give us the Kenworth tanker truck already!!!

Just back from the attic. :) I found my Bond videos (plus my video of Gerald Seymour's The Contract and an old Burt Lancaster movie called Twilight's Last Gleaming, neither of which are on dvd I believe so I'll be having a watch of those). I only…

Damn this thread! I see myself shortly heading to the attic and digging out my bond videos! Something else to collect...

They should do a 'do it yourself' kit of figures. Maybe 10 or 20 little figures. Some standing, some sitting, some in a driving pose, some in a 'firing gun out of window' pose. Then we could stick them into whatever cars we wanted to.

I'm not actively collecting them but I still have my mismatched VHS collection. I have some from the 1989 release, some from 1992 and some from 1995. Every now and then a charity shop will have a bunch of the ones from the late 1990s (you know, t…

Wow. That takes me back. I was a regular visitor to that newsgroup back in the late 90s but I probably stopped using a newsreader about 10 years ago.
