  • Marlowe (2022) Was hanging to watch a new detective noir. Really enjoyed Marlowe, really hit the spot. Love the poisoning scene. Great to see Alan Cumming in there too. Danny Huston plays a great villain, would love to see more Bond villains like…

  • Bond props in Doctor Who Since I've been watching the series from the beginning, I've spotted a few Bond props here and there: As you all would know by now, the Morse code hairbrush from LALD appeared in one of the 4th Doctor serials 'Revenge …
  • Nice! Didn't know about the laser gun, but I'll list the episodes and some pics over there now.
  • Yes! I knew you'd get it @mtm! All three scenes feature a prop that would later appear in Doctor Who! Morse code hairbrush appears in Doctor Who Kananga's lair control panel to operate the gravestone elevator appears in Doctor Who IDA equipment…
  • I'm interested in seeing more military (army, not navy) and communist-style countries in the mix, and if EON are hesitant about portraying say, Russia, China, North Korea etc., then invent a fictional country like they did in Octopussy's PTS. No, wa…

  • I thought the humour on the cargo plane was great. The 'fairly strong' dialogue about the wristwatch and Bond not having had a drink for an Oww!- hour!
  • I have a really hard one, and I am talking about trivia quizzes here. You won't find this one on the internet. What do these scenes have in common? Gadget time in the San Moniquan hotel (LALD) Kananga's henchman operating the elevator under t…

  • This is the one here, in the stripey shirt. They would've done the same thing with the young Safin/Malek for NTTD.
  • That's great isn't it? It's really young Danny boy there. Lea as a toddler can be seen on the notice board in Mr White's hidden room. I mean, many photos of the young Lea are on that notice board but adding the toddler pic was attention to detail.

  • Haven't posted any pics in ages. I've slowed down on the collecting to save a bit of $, mainly focusing on unfinished projects. A few things I don't think I've shown here yet: Harold Strutter CIA wallet which he hands to Bond in the alley, and …
  • @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ A mysterious title is the way to go. Partly why I want to see 'Risico' on one of Bond 7's posters.

  • Finally watched Dead Reckoning - really enjoyed it. There was a bit of a Skyfall vibe in there with the fight on the train and Luther's 'Sky Wave radio'. I think this was questioned here earlier, but Ethan handed Jasper's gun back to him and built a…
  • Forgot about this thread. Albums listened to recently: Tamaryn - Cranekiss (2015) - Amazing dream pop/shoe gaze. Favourite tracks: Fade Away Slow; Intruder (Waking You Up): Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World (2021) Infectious synth pop with s…
  • Apologies for not being clear @mattjoes, but my reasoning was that you solved 2 of the 3 clues from @RichardTheBruce official round at the top of the page. My joke bump wasn't Bond related at all, so must not count!

  • I like the PTS to set up the plot in some way, and I say this as someone who puts GF and TND at the top! 8-} How do you folks like the gun barrel iris to open into the PTS? Opening up in the centre of the screen (FYEO); in one of the bottom corne…
  • Been enjoying Fabiana Palladino with her classic sound. Some of her work has an 80s vibe. This one employs a bit of piano and i love the retro intro. Stay With Me Through The Night
  • The new content is rumoured to be a cooking recipe involving hot and smoked paprika with a splash of Dreher.

  • Bingo @Simon and welcome back to the forum!
  • Hmm, SF was kind of the older and wiser brother of TWINE wasn't it? Moving away from the films, I only realized recently that the Solstice comic seems like a reworking of 007 In New York, with Bond traveling overseas to protect an MI6 employee/MI…
