  • I believe Waltz is on record as not having a good time working on Spectre with Mendes, and preferred Fukunaga’s approach with NTTD. If the two of them (Waltz and Mendes) weren’t on the same page, that makes brining a character to life, who was poorl…
  • They feel designed for a video game, rather than a movie.
  • I am still a few short... Le Chiffre, Baron Samedi and Safin are the only ones left I think. In my local Game yesterday I picked up Nomi, Paloma and Moonraker Bond, for about £8 each.
  • R.e. Craig I think Broccoli convinced Amy Pascal, then head of Sony Pictures, to cast him. Everything else, as they say, is history.
  • Does make you wonder, what happens to the evil organisation after Bond has killed the main villain. Like what happens to Drax Industries, Carver Media Group, King Oil, etc. Where they are legal entities as businesses with likely hundreds of thousand…
  • Alexander Witt is a far better second unit director than Vic Armstrong. The action in the Craig era (apart from QoS which he didnt do, sadly), is far better than the PB era.

  • TWINE is PB’s worst Bond film, DAD, for all its faults (and there are loads)... its never boring. I cant at least say I am not bored by it. TWINE, on the other hand, is boring. I am not sure I can say that about another Bond film. Sorry Pie…

  • Koskov knows Saunders as they set up the initial defection. So it wouldnt be a stretch for Koskov to tell Necros to track down and kill Saunders, the first link in the defection chain. Bond being with him at the time was a bit of a bonus as he witne…
  • Currently playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS5) And Battlefield V (PS4 on PS5). Sackboy is great. Not getting along with Battlefield 5. It feels like the aiming is really off. Can line up a shot perfectly and miss.

  • It’s not my favourite RM film, nor do I think it is his best, but I understand why it is to a lot of people. For many it was either their first 007 experience, or the one they most remember, at it certainly has lots of enduring iconic moments in the…
  • Does anyone know how much of NTTD was shot/will be shown in IMAX 15/70mm? I get the impression that if I want to see the proper IMAX version, the science museum in London is the best bet as that has recently had a 1:43:1 laser projector installed…
  • @mtm It is a personal favourite suit of mine, along with the ‘Day of the Dead’ blue check suit and the Skyfall Midnight Blue Tuxedo (I know it isnt a suit but still...). The Grey Prince of Wales check suit in NTTD also looks excellent. I think th…
  • Never cared much for the Brioni suits. The Tom Ford Craig-era suits are much better and will probably age better too, despite the tight fits.
  • More concerningly, how did Vesper get a tailored suit ordered, made and delivered in the space of a day or two 😁😁 R.e. TND, I would say it would look more odd if Bond was sneaking around Carver’s lab in anything other than a suit, seeing as every…

  • @Denbigh Likewise, I suspect the Cuba sequence will be the highlight of the film. The whole set up and looks screams classic 60’s Bond.

  • My guess is (Spoiler)
  • Added the two new 007 puzzles, the “all posters and the “debuts posters”, from the 007 store. So far the “all posters” one is proving a bit easy due to high familiarity with the posters and can place the pieces fairly quickly.
