  • Perhaps it's just incredibly bleary eyed exhaustion... but my first glance at the cover had me thinking the shattered glass was a hammer and sickle... anyone else faintly see that or am I just going nuts ? The title... I suppose it's one with man…
  • Just regarding the Safin letting Mathilde go moment, which I've seen a few people mention across the board and I've had some thoughts about it (and I know the title says possible spoilers but I'm gonna tag it anyways :) ) (Spoiler)

  • Seen it last night. Thought it was smashing. This is likely going to turn into a bit of a rambling essay as I compile my thoughts as I go along, but here it goes: Completely understand the disappointment from those who have seen it, who hold in t…

  • Thoughts with long drawn out explanations - the synopsis reads that Bond is recruited by Felix Leiter to help with a kidnapped scientist whilst on retirement from the service in Jamaica. Felix presumably still works for the CIA, suggesting the work …

  • fanbond123 wrote: » I think it's a very concerning title for the franchise. It displays a shocking lack of creativity, vision. Three Barbara Broccoli/MG Wilson era Bond films with 'Die' in the title. Didn't Ian Fleming have variety in his book…
  • I seen a post whereby someone was saying Olivia Coleman should play M (wholeheartedly agree if it come to it. Could be a wonderfully stern but witty character) and it got me thinking, would they ever consider gender swapping moneypenny? I mean I fee…

  • Agreed. Less of a retcon and more of a continuation. If that happens to tie up any loose ends or twists on details we already had then so be it. But I don't believe the entire premise of Bond 25 would be to wipe Bond 24 out of existence. And also…

  • The idea that people are finding the rather real concept of human cloning too unrealistic and far fetched in the exact same week it was confirmed there are projects ongoing to combine human and animal embryos is rather ironic. Just because someth…
  • And it's never perhaps been considered by the detractors that the reason there has been no on set publicity of Malek is because they want to keep aspects of his character under wraps? He hasn't even been named yet, not even in rumour. Marketing is o…

  • Death is but a number? Perhaps a bit wordy
  • I'm presuming the PTS, if it does indeed feature Bond, will be like Goldeneye. Appears at first to be present day, only for when the film begins, to shoot up a "Five years later" card. Perhaps immediately after the title sequence will be a scene in …
  • Loving the new location, always an exciting part of the bond production to get a glimpse at what may potentially be the villainous lair. We may be long since gone from hollowed out volcanoes but it always brings me great intrique! As for everythi…
  • Had Spectre not already been used, I'd be curious if they'd have done a play on words if (rumoured and allegedly) the organisation returned. Something like: "In Spectres Shadows"... Nah. Doubt it. So I'm still winging for "SwanSong".
  • Personally, in my opinion, just because someone has a background in TV it shouldn't exclude them from films... By that logic half the choices of Bond Actors shouldn't have been chosen as they'd previously "mostly only worked on TV shows". The fact i…
  • I must say how the locations in this film will be brought together is particularly intriquing to me. As has been observed filming in Matera is meant to be for two months. As has been rumoured the location is meant to be solely to the PTS... Forgive …
  • My word, its so difficult to keep up: Distain at the old scriptwriters as they've been involved with Bond too many times prior, combined with anger with the choice of new composer for never being involved in any Bond-like score before... The fight b…

  • I'm of the opinion Eons statement was to begrudgingly counteract the press speculation, rather than confirm it wholly. Injury - yes. Operation - yes. As severe as its been made out to be - no. Delay - no. Like others I'm hoping for a speedy recov…
