  • No I mean the game, like the duck hunt. There’s a fairground shoot is there?
  • Haha! That’s great, haven’t seen that in years :D

  • You Too Shall Pass Sort of a twist on the old adage, but I reckon most people would probably think of Lord of the Rings :))

  • I unreservedly apologise for my post above thanking LucknFate for his response.
  • This is fun, for his 86th birthday, Spy Command have worked out that George Lazenby, Roger Moore and Sean Connery were (probably) all in front of cameras in different places in the world playing James Bond on the same two days in December 1982: h…
  • McCartney for me, I just prefer his back catalogue, as great as Tom is.
  • Yeah, although it's not as pure and simple as the concepts, it is still nice and pared down compared to where the current cars had gone. I also like that, although it is a bit beefier compared to the concept language, it doesn't look aggressive- I d…
  • That's interesting, thanks. I'd never quite realised it but I guess it sounds quite unique to some overseas folks whereas it's more or less the natural way to say 007 in the UK (we don't really say 'zero' a lot, and 'nought' has slipped away a bit).…
  • You don't like anything though. I think it's pretty handsome but, like a lot of concept cars to real world ones, it's lost a bit of the lovely purity of the Neue Klasse designs. I do like the front and that the leaning-forward nose has come back, a…

  • Please move my post to the suitable thread as I'd be curious to chat to anyone who finds it interesting.
  • Here’s a thing I hadn’t really thought about before: does 007 sound odd to Americans? I just noticed that Americans and Brits differ in the way they say numbers: to us Brits 3,400 is ‘three thousand, four hundred’, whilst I think an American woul…
  • I’ve no idea what you’re trying to say. Feels like you’re attempting to start an argument so I’ll leave you to it.
  • I don’t think it matters. I don’t think Elordi is too tall: I’ve seen him in films and TV and his height isn’t a problem. The new Superman is an inch shorter, no one was worrying he’s too tall to fit on a movie screen. I’m less blown away by Elordi…
  • No, she hates it. So thedove is right; you’d only ever get two, not three.

  • Yeah I didn't follow it closely at all, but I remember it being no surprise at all that Corenswet got the job. I feel like it was actually reported that he, and Hoult in fact, were auditioning, there was no secrecy at all. Other folks'll know better…
  • I've been a bit cool about Bassey over the years, her voice is a touch strident for my liking, but we went to the 60th anniversary Bond concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022 and I must admit I was totally blown away when she sang Goldfinger and D…
  • Yeah good points. I must admit I tried the first ep of the new series of Peacemaker and struggled with it a bit. I thought the first series was terrific but this one didn't grab me at all for some reason.
  • Okay, rather than just saying no, why do you think that’s wrong?
  • To be fair, one thing the movie establishes is that Supernan trusts the goodness in people too easily. I also think Gunn is unlikely to shy away from using any of the wackier comic villains when he already put Krypto and Mr Terrific in his film.

  • Gosh that's a quick turnaround. I'm going to bet on that date slipping.
  • Yeah okay, looks good fun. Certainly very expansive and the environments look gorgeous. The script was a bit flat in the bits we heard, and was there another guy in that Jaguar? He seemed to have exactly the same voice as Bond so it was hard to tell…
