Shocking news for Bond fans. Hard to feel optimistic. Not sure how relevant, but they did a good job with the Jack Reacher series..😏

"Absolutely love 'Manhunter' ( and I prefer it to 'Silence of the Lambs'!)" You and me both mate! @Mathis1

I am ashamed to say i only recently heard this later Pink Floyd album, 'The Division Bell'. But i'm absolutely loving it! Better late than never i suppose! This track i thought especially good..

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" @Thunderball In my opinion you're not missing much. Absolute migraine of a movie!

While re-reading Moonraker i realised how much i refer back to the internet for things Fleming mentions. Things like, Wine, places, landmarks and cars. This time i was interested in Drax's car of choice, the Mercedes 300 S. And what a beauty i…

Hasn't sullied my enjoyment of the Craig era one iota. Was I happy that Bond died? No. Does it bother me? Also no. I love the all the Craig films except Spectre. They're my go to Bond films.
