According to this interview with Hunt, he was asked back for DAF -- and apparently FYEO (IIRC they also tried to get Young back for that one, yes?). Q: Which leads me to my next question, why the heck did you leave the series? A: At the end o…

The rumor was not one of killing the goose, merely sending it to another farmer. The idea of "official" film also amuses me. In the context of a sell, what does "official" become? Synonymous with EON, as we've always been sold the idea? Then sure…

@FoxRox No more than a rumor that we're miles from at the moment.

@talos7 I suppose. Not since DAD have they been left to go it alone (reasonably). Nevertheless, that'll mark four films now as co-writers who have at least had a seat at the table, and six overall. Would've been interesting to see how a new picture …

Thank you @barryt007! Still getting settled in but most I feel most welcome already. (Just need to figure out the avatar sitch, and I'll be set.) Thunderfinger wrote: » Strog enough. Back in 'the day,' when I was at my humble beginnings …

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 -- absolutely a luxury to be able to more faithfully imagine the experience from the Color -> B&W direction instead of having to attempt it the other way around. Torgeirtrap wrote: For fun, I took a screenshot from …

@Dragonpol @RogueAgent Thanks for the warm welcome, fellas! Indeed, I hope to slip into the personality of the forum unregarded, like a cat dragging a bit of refuse into a hoarder's home.

If it is McGuigan, I suppose that makes Arnold's return all the more likely (with their working on Sherlock together). I wonder how likely is it that he would want to bring in Steven Moffat, who has within the last year finished up on both his major…

Thanks guys! As for "Strog" -- a complete nonsensical nothing. Actually a username I cooked up for myself about a decade ago when I was young and hip to a cool handle. :P Pretty sure I sat around spitting out random consonants and vowels until I …

Greetings, all. November 27th, 2002. Day I became a Bond fan. The day before the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. Back when SpikeTV was still TNN. That Wednesday at 9 p.m. they kicked off their first annual Thanksgiving Bondathon, and I plopped d…
