  • Wow, that's big news! And a very prestigious writer, I'm really happy about that. This is shaping up to be a pretty impressive line-up, fingers crossed they all last the distance.

  • He's got a Jensen Interceptor. Which is the same model the previous screen version of Inspector Lynley drove so I don't know if it's mentioned in the books or something. Although I think he then drove a Bristol in later series so maybe the Jensen in…

  • The earlier ATs were a smaller size; I think mine might even be 36mm.

  • With Villeneuve I could believe that someone like Josh O’Connor is more in the running.

  • The very last 007 production from Eon! Looks like GoldenEye's Contra Dam is featured. I wonder if they bungee jump off it!

  • Yeah that's great- the trailer even gives a glimpse of Bond driving a bin lorry! I do think a Bond game should really offer the full experience.

  • Honestly I think they're rather cool, embracing the retro graphic design of the films but. in a contemporary treatment. I find all of the new covers really quite artistic. DN, YOLT and TB are the pick of them for me. I wonder if it's just coinciden…

  • I guess Mendes is ultimately to blame as he’s steering the ship, but we know from the leaks the script was getting pulled all over the place from various angles at Sony, it’s real committee stuff.

  • Which seems a bit mad to me in a way (imagine a Spielberg Moonraker instead of 1941!) but I guess maybe after Jaws he might have been getting percentages of gross (I don't know, I expect the info is out there) and Broccoli certainly wouldn't have wa…

  • I had it really well-packed from 007store, I even thought it was slight overkill!
    in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service: Remastered and Expanded Limited Edition (La-La Land Records) Comment by mtm July 29
  • Thanks for the trailer, I wondered what had happened to that series. Will be interesting to see how he performs in it, he certainly seems worth a look. I wonder if he might be the next Poldark-style heartthrob.

  • Yes I know what you mean about being a bit reminded of Murder on the Orient Express. And also thanks a lot: that’s stuck in my head now! :D

  • The problem is it wasn’t really personal for Bond: he never really showed any indication of caring about Oberhauser’s situation. More personal to him were following Dench M’s orders and protecting Madeline, and I’d say those bits work much better.

  • Thank you; yes mine are all slightly older, even the Aqua Terra, and although far from being the cheapest watches I have, weren't as crazily expensive as you might think. I actually prefer the old ATs, with the simpler face. You can even look at old…
    in Your Bond watches Comment by mtm July 28
  • Yeah absolutely: Craig's Bond took a relatively rare diversion into dressier watches by wearing an Aqua Terra now and again- but even that is technically a Seamaster as well! :D I have my gold Cosmic, a Seamaster 300M which is probably most similar…

    in Quick Big Mi6 Actor Ranking Game - 4th PLACE Comment by mtm July 28
  • I've got three Omegas and my first one is a Cosmic 2000 which is a nicely dressy, gold-coloured, cushion case 70s watch- and technically a Seamaster, although I they seem to call everything Seamaster! :D It needed a bit of a refurb but it's a wonder…
    in Your Bond watches Comment by mtm July 28
  • I think Bourne is as close to doing that believably as you can do; in the films it's clear his mind has been stretched to breaking point from his abusive training and drugs etc. so it makes amnesia a bit easier to swallow; plus it's kind of the poin…

  • FRWL isn’t one I listen to very often even though it’s very good. As Torgeirtrap says, Barry hasn’t entirely found the 007 voice yet, whereas TLD is pretty masterful. It’s TLD for me.
