  • I'm still firmly on Team Kate Beckinsale.

  • Skyfall characterised Bond as 'old fashioned', so I think the filmmakers are already giving us a classic Bond who doesn't reflect our times (in terms of his tastes). For example even Connery in GF had a more advanced razor than Craig in SF.
  • Possibly my favourite show.

  • Creasy47 wrote: @Volante, (Spoiler) Completely agree with all that, just wish there had been more. At least from the little we saw she was memorable.

  • I'd like to see Mendes return because if he and Logan have already planned some ideas it would be best to have the director who came up with them see them through to the end, make Bond 24 one cohesive vision right from the very beginnings of draftin…
  • While it would be a shame to waste the talents of an actor like Fiennes, I don't think this would be the best way to utilise them. Perhaps something closer to CR, where M travels to the Bahamas to talk with Bond. Or like TB (just expanded) with M di…

  • Come on, there's probably dozens of threads for stuff like this.
  • TB: Cut 5-10 minutes of underwater scenes. SF: Give Severine more screen time. And maybe (Spoiler)

  • Was going to buy a pair of Gazelle's but found they're a much brighter blue in real life. Didn't look quite as good as they did on screen. Also a very narrow shoe.
