My standard reaction to these videos is "Why do you pick so few?!" :))

I see that Webb & Webb have published images of some of their book covers on Instagram, with a quote from each book alongside it. Casino Royale: '…a wonderful nine of hearts, the card known in gipsy magic as ‘a whisper of love, a whisper of …

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 That's a fair criticism of the use of the "007". Book covers are challenging in that you have to prioritise: what are the unique selling point(s)? Is it boldly displaying the authors name, like they do with contemporary writers…

Indeed @timdalton007, distilling 70 years of history into a single cover image is an impossible task. You should definitely try to touch upon some elements of intrigue, danger and/or mystery – of which there are covers here I feel fail to do, and so…

Warning Shot (1967) I first became aware of Warning Shot years ago, after having seen Harper (1966), starring Paul Newman. The murder mystery wrapped in a vibrant, mid to late 1960's colour scheme, set in sunny California was something I would like…

I've watched NTTD once since its release, and thinking back on the film for the first time since, I'm in no rush to watch it again. It simply didn't gel with me. The ending didn't bother me like I thought it would. If anything I was more bothered by…

Yes, that's without a doubt one of the big moments in Norwegian football history, and Rekdal was right at the centre of it. And he's not all bad, I just think he's a bad fit for Rosenborg. They could and should aim higher than what they are currentl…

I don't think the CR cover look bad either. They could have made it stand out even more for sure (I would have spent more time on the red smoke effect personally), but among the books I regularly see at my local book shops and other stores, this one…

The Mission: Impossible production have landed in Svalbard (VG.no/Svalbardposten).

Here's a look at gameweek 27 before the deadline tonight! Gameweek 27 was a high scoring gameweek, with the average gameweek score at 63 points. We had several great scores in our league, and some teams even reached the 100 points mark. Best of us a…
