  • Not really a plot idea and more setting, but: Bond in banking. Some kind of scheme against the Pound necessitates Bond going undercover in the City, but the action quickly moves to some overseas financial centre - Hong Kong, Singapore, Toyko. Maybe…

  • I've always loved the idea of Bond being basically a repertory company with many of the same actors and craftspeople producing the same five stories in different ways over and over again. So I like the idea of keeping the actors, but having them pla…

  • Isn't it pretty standard practice to sign a Bond actor to more than just one film? Now granted, "standard practice" 40 or 60 years ago doesn't have to have a lot of bearing about the future of the franchise, but I don't think it's anything out of th…
  • I know this is a charge often unfairly leveled at female writers who take up existing IP, so I don't want this to come off as misoginist, but these character descriptions all feel a bit fan-fictiony to me. We'll see.
  • Thanks. Now I remember you already recommended that in an earlier discussion. The books I'd want are double the price there than what I paid, but it's good to keep in the back of the mind.
  • Does anyone own any Sunspel T-Shirts. I have a few of their Riviera polos that I love and need some new plain T-shirts, but the price is of course wild. So any experience?
  • No need for anyone to comment, but I have to vent about Brexit again. I am currently planning a vacation and wanted to buy some Lonely Planet guidebooks. We borrowed some from friends, but a lot of stuff is outdated, because of the pandemic. LP jus…
  • Oh and just to throw some oil on the "He has to be under 40 and over 5'10""-thing: I just found an answer to a Fredoom of Information request the MoD gave about the ages of Royal Navy officers in 2019 (i know how much you love this discussion about …

  • Finally caved and got the #1. Don't like the art. Never like it when they go all blank background. Makes it hard to get a feeling for where you are. For the beginning showdown, I thought they were on a roof, but then Bond suddenly shoots out a ceili…
  • Around 2004 or 05 I had a custom PC built for me (around 14 years old at the time) to play games with my friends. I can't place it perfectly, but this was around the time World of Warcraft was first released. Not very luxurious, but if I recall corr…
  • Shamefully, I've only ever seen the Steve Carell Get Smart film and not the original series, but I recall the doors also being in that. Now that I think about it, the secret headquarters hidden behind a door or even more common, an elevator, is pro…
  • Finally got around to listening to the bit about 003. Over this marketing campaign, I've come to think Kim Sherwood has a good handle on this and am lookng forward to this book, but that sounds like some horrible fanfic. (Spoiler)
  • I'm still living in a world where I hoped Savages would be an actually good film. So I have a bit of a soft spot for him...

  • So it's not a continuation of the Deaver timeline and the Overseas Development Group. And it also doesn't step into the Fleming/Gardner/Benson pseudo-timeline.
  • We must have discussed Taylor-Johnson before and come up with some demerits, right? From the top line characteristics, he looks like a very serious contender, but I can't recall him being discussed in depth. English, 32 years old, 5'10", dark hair,…
  • The Craig era is very interesting in that regard. I'd have to have a proper think about it to make my thoughts more cohesive, but they seem to have purposefully stepped back from technology and used pre-digital technology a lot. It's very noticable …
