  • I like the innuendo (Roger would have had lots of fun if one of his films was titled that) but it might sound a touch negative for the 25th sequel to a film! :D

  • @QBranch Does this look familiar? (From Invasion of Time)
  • A vote here for 'didn't mind it'.

  • Disheveled is an interesting term; I must say that hadn't occurred to me. I wonder if that's because, due to his casting so late in the day for TLD, he's the only Bond not to wear bespoke suits? I agree he looks absolutely perfect though. echo w…

  • I've never loved it to be honest; it doesn't sound very Bondy to me. QBranch and SecretAgentMan came up with Now More Than Ever, which feels like a great 'Bond is back from the dead' title to me.

  • QBranch wrote: » I like the PTS to set up the plot in some way, and I say this as someone who puts GF and TND at the top! 8-} How do you folks like the gun barrel iris to open into the PTS? Opening up in the centre of the screen (FYEO); in one …
  • Unshaven as well, which doesn't seem very Blanc. Maybe this is a bit of a Skyfall moment and he gets himself tidied up at some point.

  • I think I may have made it to the end of ep2 and then realised life is too short for this kind of dreck. And I like superspies! Ditch the main cast, move Stanley Tucci up to the lead, do less action and CG nonsense, then we can talk.

  • There's another series of Citadel?! I just looked at its page on Wikipedia. It's quite funny: there are synopses for all of the episodes, apart from the last two where it looks like even the people writing the wiki page lost interest in the show.
