  • My bet is that Madeleine's inclution is of similar character to Dench's in Spectre. She provides some kind of clue to Bond before she either gets killed or leaves him. That is what I would want to happen at least... :P

  • This will be milked so much in Norwegian media that even fans of Solskjær will be sick of him by the end of the season...
  • Jose: "How do you expect me to win without better players?" Ole: "Football is easy when you got good players. They are such a great bunch of players and the quality is just unbelievable!" Quite a turn around.

  • TWINE was my first Bond film too. I still feel a rush of nostalgia and excitement during the PTS, the sequence that got my six year old self hooked. I have grown to understand the rest of the film is a sorry mess though, regrettably... Back then …

  • I hope Wright returns as Leiter. I always liked him in the role. And, perhaps controversialy (?), I hope he does so even after Craig leaves and we have a new Bond.
