  • Started my 23 day Bond-a-thon leading up to my viewing of Skyfall here in the States on November 8th in IMAX. (I'm including Never Say Never Again for the hell of it.) First up: Dr. No from the Bond 50 Blu-Ray set. I've always adored this film…

  • I believe that it is entirely possible for EON to move the gun-barrel at the start of the film for the wide release. For some reason I'm hesitant to believe that the gun-barrel is (Spoiler) but perhaps that is just me in denial. Based on the th…

  • Risico does sound cool and (obviously) sounds a lot like 'risk'. It is probably the best and most captivating unused Fleming title out there.
  • Since it's coming out one day early here in the US, I've booked my Skyfall IMAX tickets for November 8th! I'm going to have to stay off this website for a good two weeks after its released in the UK...

  • Yum yum yum...money. Please make it stop. Seriously.
  • Casino Royale did not change the James Bond formula. Perhaps it shook things up a bit but Casino Royale has MANY elements of a the "standard" film version of James Bond. 1) Ridiculous action scenes with near impossible stunts (see: parkour chase,…
  • battleshipgreygt wrote: I'm surprised how much flack those two tracks are getting. "The Moors" is good, nothing to write home about, but "New Digs" is just pure Bondian cool in my opinion. The use of electric guitar hits a spot that hasn't been hi…
  • Is anyone else getting a Mission: Impossible 2 vibe from 'New Digs' and 'The Moors?' My favorite bit from Newman's score is still the snippet heard in the recently released clip.

  • Usual SNL - the first 30 minutes or so are kinda good and after that the show goes to hell. I found the construction scene and the Bond girl parody thing pretty funny. But after that, the show tapered off.
  • Apparently, Skyfall took 10 hours to get to number 1 on iTunes which is the quickest any song has gotten to number 1 on iTunes EVER. Well done, Adele. It's truly great to be a Bond fan right now. Source: http://www.examiner.com/article/adele-s…

  • A quick update here: if anyone is interested, the US iTunes store is offering all the Bond movies in HD for $9.99 a film as opposed to the usual $14.99. I'm not sure if this price cut is happening anywhere else, however.
