  • Maybe a bit similar to Skyfall's Japanese Island, but the flooded town is a cool location regardless.
  • It's probably urban legend, but it became known that he haunts a certain pub and perhaps meets ladies there and basically willing partners effectively started queueing up there! :D
  • I do tend to come back to how he's become quite a big sex symbol in the UK: there's a really funny story about him and an Islington pub from earlier in the year which kind of cemented it for me! I kind of think that nailing a sex symbol in the role …

  • The Solitaire moment is certainly up there as being pre-planned unpleasantness and fully taking advantage of her, but I think I'll go with Goodnight in the wardrobe as it's just so grotty to make her listen to him and Andrea at it. Roger's first two…
  • Top Gear Mag have just added a nice vid driving the Valour

  • Yeah it's good! I think I noted that down last time I watched LALD too :D And on that subject, I still say that this one works too: Names Are For Tombstones :)

  • 007HallY wrote: » I don’t think Bond’s death in NTTD will make any difference to Bond 26, but I agree, I don’t think it should be referenced either. Generally the goal for every new Bond is to make the audience forget about the previous one - t…
  • They've accidentally made Lee Majors instead.

  • You're very kind :)

  • Oh no, it doesn't matter; thank you for the offer though. It's not as if I have any ownership of Licence To Kill so can't really take any sort of moral high ground! I just take it as flattering really :) (I guess you could tell them how to spell th…

  • Yeah, the way that the ladies seem to drool over him and that he's a proper actor does make me think he's a strong option. He's a man's man, alpha sort of type. Plus he's becoming well-known for his fashion style too; quite reminiscent of Craig in m…
  • The Alamo Drafthouse chain in the US have been showing LTK this week, and weirdly at least one of the cinemas has been using my LTK fan art poster in the theatre! :D

  • I was never that keen on the DBS; it never felt fully resolved to me. It looked like a modded version of another car rather than something in its own right. The new Vantage and DB12 look great to me: I think the Vantage is a brilliant update of the …

  • It’s just what racing cars look like because they have to. Form follows function. If it’s not to your taste that’s fine, but they look like that for a reason.
    in new 007 car Comment by mtm July 2024
  • I always thought it would make quite a fun short story: follow Bond in his life at MI6 for a bit, really go overboard on all the scrambled eggs, hot/cold shower, three rings cigarettes, black comma of hair stuff, but have Bond suspect something is w…

    in Indiana Jones Comment by mtm July 2024
  • Was thinking about this PTS: I have been enjoying NTTD recently but I think it is a little striking to compare the two- NTTD's has big stunts in the bridge and bike jumps, but like @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ and I often say, they're kind of missing that Bon…
  • Simon Pegg was just on 6music at Glastonbury and said he's got one day left on Mission this week. The interviewer suggested a chase scene through a music festival, and I don't mind that! (Cruise and McQ were there too so you never know... ) …

  • Draco's got helicopters and as many photocopiers as you could need, so I'd go with him.
