  • Are there any recorded comments from Fleming about the success of DN and FRWL? He died in 1964 so will have been alive to see the immense reaction to those films.
  • Honestly I find the ordinary 1080p blu-rays more than sufficient, and my tv does a good job of upscaling them to 4k. I dont sit there and think “gee if only Goldfinger was in 4k, I would be enjoying it a lot more 😅
  • Its interesting to note just where the Bond films have landed in the worldwide and US box office rankings. Lets take the Dalton age onwards: Worldwide / US Only TLD: 4th / 19th LTK: 10th / 36th GE: 3rd /6th TND: 4th / 9th TWINE: 8th / 14th…
  • Alternative NTTD Soundtrack Names (a bit of fun) 1. Where’s the blood? (Gun Barrel) 2. Can we go faster? (Matera) 3. Sheep on the loose! (Message from an Old Friend) 4. Go Nuts for Doughnuts (Square Escape) 5. Fishing for Adventure (Someone …
  • The 007store is selling the “Safin Mask Prop Replica - Oultlet Item”, which has a damaged box but a pristine mask, for £295. The, er, exact same price as a brand new fully pristine one 🧐 (though that is sold out). https://007store.com/products/co…

  • It’s not a heavy sweater, its quite light but as the same time feels like it is strong. Feels warm too, suitable for secret stealth missions into enemy islands. In terms of washing I must admit I bought it more for a show piece and to go in the c…

  • We do have “The Petrolhead Lounge” thread for cars: https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/19271/the-petrolhead-lounge/p69 There is also a dedicated Aston Martin thread: https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/9774/new-aston-martin-db11-ja…
  • @mtm My guess with MGW is that he will want to establish the next Bond and future of that run of films, much like Cubby and Brosnan, before semi or fully retiring.

  • Have watched a bit of the 4k blu ray and have to say the sharpness, detail and colour of it is outstanding, a real looker of a film.

  • You would think that “what comes next” came up immediately after EON decided on the NTTD ending. They wouldnt just sit on that for the last three years, surely?
