  • I'd like to see Bond and the centre gun barrel smaller - I feel Bond is too large in the frame now. Smaller, like the originals and OHMSS - which I love - also means you can't see Bond's features so clearly, which I prefer.

  • PanchitoPistoles wrote: » ColonelSun, do you know when to expect the press conference to take place? No, but they'll keep it close to the start of PP - I'd guess as tight as Friday 5th Dec.

  • I really enjoy watching LALD and TMWTGG as a double bill - mirroring how they often played in the cinema re-releases when I was a kid. The two films sit really well together, both have a cool, bizarre quality (slightly surreal, larger than life char…
