  • Do people still say "cell phone" in the US? I never hear anyone say "mobile" in the UK any more, it's always just a "phone". I guess it makes sense considering the ongoing disappearance of landlines from everyday life, but is it the same in the US?

  • Just looked it up, I was confusing it with Step in Time, my bad.

  • On the subject of smoking, I wouldn't mind seeing Bond smoke again, although I can't really see it happening. It's just not socially acceptable anymore, are they really going to have a scene of Bond popping to the designated smoking area in MI6 HQ? …

  • My preference for the next actor to play James Bond would be Fassbender, followed by Turner. I don't actively want them to make James Bond black immediately, nor do I think it's "about time". I just don't think ethnicity should be a factor in the de…

  • I'm not worried about Elba, he's too bloody old anyway. I'm talking about a black Bond in abstract terms. As far as I'm concerned it's no different to a blonde Bond.
  • And I said it's 2016 because in this day and age it's entirely plausible for Bond's character to be black and otherwise stay exactly the same. Obviously it wasn't in the fifties.
