  • I've not seen SP yet, but if we're carrying on down the path of fleshing out Bond to be a 3dimensional character, then I would have issue in seeing May in a cameo role if Bond is at home. Otherwise I agree that it is difficult to envisage a reaso…

  • =D> Yes, I intend to. But the first viewing is always special, and I'd like the best experience
  • Am unsure if to see Spectre in regular cinema or an IMAX. Presumably SP is really filmed to be seen in regular cinema? Have not been to an IMAX. I think Crawley is nearest to me - has anyone been there? Any recommendations on which are the best …

  • Apologies, but the point of my post was to highlight that the security services are involved in killing people (who else told the RAF where to fire their drone), which we can extrapolate towards real life James Bonds - which of course SIS have alway…

  • So the film will premier across the UK..(fair enough) and Ireland... (why? when will the powers-that-be accept that Ireland is a foreign country?) As bad as the BBC who always feature the Irish football team when discussing the home nations >…

  • I've always been puzzled by Americans love for violence, yet aversion to sex. Perhaps it is something to do with the Founding Fathers? I have read somewhere that in the 1960s, the Bond films got into trouble with the UK censors for too much viole…

  • LoL no. Can't see him as Bond. But I like the video - he's not taking himself too seriously, just having fun.

  • Would would people think about filming the book The Spy Who Loved Me? Might be too thin for a full film, but could be take up a portion of a film. Perhaps could be used to introduce a new actor to Bond
  • I read somewhere that they originally included humour to offset the violence - which was quite extreme for the standards of the day, especially for a 'family' audience
