  • Gun barrel at beginning Mendes or Campbell David Arnold Daniel Kleinman Locations: Australia, Canada, Alaska, New York, London Moneypenny Aston Martin - the new Vanquish? Ordering a Vesper "Bond, James Bond" and the line.... "Allow me …
  • Not sure about the DC comeback - would BB and MW think back to what their predecesors had to deal with after OHMSS and paying Connery? would DC want to come back? Also - while Nolan is a great Bond fan would he want to do three films in a 6 year …
  • Connery - Hunt For Red October Moore - Gold, Wild Geese Dalton - The Rocketeer, Hawks (if you have not seen Hawks then you must see it - also featured Anthony Edwards - Goose from Top Gun) Bosnan - Tailor of Panama - loved how he played a "anti-B…
  • Least favourite Brosnan flick - easy....Mamma Mia!!!! DAD is an Oscar winning entry in comparison! :D
  • DN, FRWL, OHMSS, TLD and parts of CR as discussed above and, as it was a earlier re-booting of Bond after the excesses of Moonraker, I think FYEO captures some of the books well - particularly the attack on the warehouse and the killing of Loque.
  • A Whisper Of Hate would be a good title I think. Comes from a reference in Fleming's Casino Royale - apparantly an old gypsy saying to describe the nine of hearts..."a whisper of love, a whisper of hate..."
  • I understand that Eric Clapton did a version of the Bond theme for Licence To Kill with Michael Kamen but it was rejected by the producers. It would have involved Vic Flick. As a EC fan I would love to have heard it. It is not clear whether it was a…
  • Just booked ticket for 10am on Friday morning at my local Cineworld which has IMAX screen! About 20 seats already booked by the looks of it. I did get a few odd looks from colleagues at work a few days ago when they learnt I was taking the Friday of…
  • Saw EON at Covent Garden this afternoon. Was superb. The absence of SC was interesting to see - especially in the context of what the documentary told us about his relationship with both producers. The other Bonds came across superbly - Lazenby was …
  • On their Facebook page Odeon has listed the following cinemas as showing the documentary... COVENT GARDEN, WIMBLEDON, EDINBURGH LOTHIAN RD, BATH, BRIGHTON, OXFORD, GUILDFORD, TUNBRIDGE WELLS, DUNFERMLINE, SHEFFIELD, GLASGOW QUAY, BIRMINGHAM BROAD…
  • If he does abseil from the helicopter then our Health & Safety laws will demand that he wears a fluorescent yellow jacket and carry a 50 page risk assessment with him.....
  • I pre-booked my ticket but I could have easily just turned up and walked in - there were just 4 or 5 people in the queue as it was mid-week and not all the schools had finished for summer plus the Olympics have yet to hit town! But if you are going …

  • Went today. Quite busy. Really enjoyed it and, if you have the chance, I recommend that you go! Highlights were the DB5 at the entrance, the re-creation of Shirley Eaton painted gold, the Q section, the Casino section where several of the outfits fr…
  • "Kill Bond! Now!" Use to use that quite often in the office but then the HR Manager had a chat with me and now I'm banned from saying it....
  • Bond walking into the hotel in Hong Kong in wet pyjamas and checking in as if its the most natural thing to do.... Except for the appearance of Jinx & Madonna the first half or so of DAD is a good Bond movie but soon after turning up in Icela…
  • Probably about mid-table for me. One film too many for Connery I think. Though would be good if Bond did return to Las Vegas - a chase down the strip and into some of the new casinos would be good to see on the big screen!
  • I'd play him based on the Fleming novels - Dalton with a dash of Craig...
  • Currently reading all the Flemings in the original order - half-way through Goldfinger at the moment. LALD is cringing at times - very much shows a English white upper class pre-WW2 view of black people! I read Carte Blanche earlier in the year and…
  • 1969.... OHMSS Italian Job Battle of Britain Very close honourable mentions go to Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, True Grit & Kes. Raspberry goes to Carry On Camping! Also - Where Eagles Dare - was issued in the…
  • Excited, hopeful that with the director and supporting cast we'll get a film as good as CR and hoping we won't get another Dire Another Day!!
  • It would be good to see the new Virage in SkyFall...
  • Thinking back to post QoS time I recall a comment (possibly on here) that a draft script for Bond 23 had a 'shocking' plot basis - I got the impression of a global disease/pandemic? I do wonder if Skyfall has a dark/serious angle to it. If so, Mende…
  • When QOS came out I recall reading somewhere that MK12 had a corporate link to Sony...I hope that Mendes/Eon have more control this time and get Danny K back! CR opening credits came close to giving Binder a run for his money!
  • I thought that it may be a terrorist event (MI6 under attack) which links to M's past and Bond has to head off a bigger global terrorism event. Though I acknowledge it does have a similar theme to TWINE..
