  • Goldfinger = 24 karat Gold equals 100% pure Gold GoldenEye = 10 karat Gold equals 41.7% Gold
  • It is being reported a man walked into the HGV licence office in London’s Tottenham Court Road and is holding people hostage. Met Police say the Tottenham Court Road incident is not an act of terrorism, it is a man "with a grievance". There were …
  • Good review, Acton Steve, and I agree that it is necessary that you create a fresh thread for the "younger crowd" to study, who just don't "get" or "understand" the fact that GF is and always will be the true template for a Bond film and not that bo…
  • I'd also love to see the filmed foot chase from OHMSS as an extra on the new DVD. From what I've read Hunt only shot the chase over London rooftops and to the entrance of Royal Mail underground. The fight on the RM underground itself was never shot …
  • I wouldn't be surprised if the new Q does a bit of tinkering on Bond's personal car and adds a couple of "minor modifications." The modern villians (whoever they might be) would never suspect a vintage car being used for anything other than a weeken…
  • First images from the movie....
  • It sounds like a traditional Bond tune which is probably the reason why the excellent No Good About Goodbye sung by Shirley Bassey wasn't chosen for Quantum Of Solace. Ever since DAD it seems the producers have been pushing for something different. …

  • Sounds like a few of you are going to have to stick your fingers in your ears for the release of the new Lone Ranger movie. During the CinemaCon 2012 Disney presentation, producer Jerry Bruckheimer announced the musician will score for “The Lone Ran…
  • It's hard being objective about modern Bond tunes when the standard has fallen so far from the great heights that John Barry once set, but I find myself defending AWTD only because it wasn't half as bad as TND, TWINE and DAD. At least it had a gutsy…
  • If you don't know this song. 4EverBonded, then sample it here....
  • I've just seen the book THE JAMES BOND DIECASTS OF CORGI by David Worrall is selling for £200. I'm glad I picked that book up cheap when I did.
  • For those that are still suggesting Tarantino for a Bond film, he's done with the series since Eon turned down his retro 60's idea for Casino Royale. He might be on your shopping list but it'll never happen as he's fallen out of love with 007 and cr…
  • In defence of Getafix, of course it's his opinion. Almost every single post here is based on an opinion. There would be nothing to read or respond to if we all agreed on the same thing. Personally, I don't want to be in any club that might be manife…

  • I'm not sure whether you can call the 80's the forgotten decade. The movies have just been chronologically pushed back by the Brosnan and Craig years, nothing more. Personally, I only really liked TLD out of the 80's. FYEO has some how been eleva…

  • slyfox wrote: Sounds like Craig has made the decision on appointing Mendes, Bardem and now putting his voice across for Adele! She's obviosuly going to sing it in my view, but there's no need to officially announce anything for a few months. …
  • "We haven’t picked a song yet or anyone to sing it," says Broccoli when Hitfix posed the question to her recently. If this is true it seems a shame and a huge missed opportunity IMO. Then Craig raised an eyebrow and added: "How about Adele?" …
  • OHMSS - Simply the best score ever. No ifs, no buts. DAF - Runs a pretty close 2nd to the above. YOLT - Beautiful, haunting and ethereal. FRWL - Has a bit of everything... and a great version of the Bond Theme to boot. GF - Just love some of the…
