  • I seem to have missed out on this thread, regrettably. It is fantastic and I hope you will post more reviews soon! Just dropping in some late opinions: - I consider FRWL to be Barry's second best score overall. Only OHMSS beats it for me. Some…

  • I have always liked Bond and North Africa. The combination has always worked for me. However I think Cádiz deserves to be a location on its own and no stand in (like in DAD before).

  • I think it is fairly obvious that if EON had the rights to the SPECTRE organization back in 2007, they would have used it from the get go. Quantum was there as a replacement, with SPECTRE in mind. So I don't think it is odd at all that when they fin…

  • Come to think of it, I completely forgot about this place I also visited this summer, Hoven Restaurant! It is built on a cliff 1000 meters above the fjord beneath, with a skylift! https://www.loenskylift.no/restaurant/ https://goo.gl/images/N7…
