  • I only just came across this video showing Factory’s new 007 replicas, including a Goldfinger gold bar, GoldenEye mine and Thunderball rebreather. The mini scaled models look fun too.

  • Again, pretty similar to Dalton on that front I’d say. He was a bit of a hit and heartthrob in Sharpe around that time. I think Brosnan was the right choice though.
  • Bear in mind Craig is from the Wirral! :D I can see Bean as Bond I think. Good star, good-looking guy, not dissimilar to Dalton in some ways I’d say. Perhaps GE did show he’s not brilliant at the accent! :D
  • I think I’d genuinely take AVTAK and DAF over LALD and DN respectively, as good as those are. I just have more fun with those ones, especially AVTAK which is close to being my favourite Bond, even though I know it’s far from the best. I just love it.
  • St Vincent - Violent Times
  • I watched Beyond tonight; only intended to watch a bit but ended up doing the whole thing. It really is a jump in quality, notably it serves all of the main crew characters much better than Into Darkness and gives everyone a bit to do. It’s just a r…
  • Okay. For me I don’t know if it plays a big enough part in the story to make the film after, but maybe.

  • These are increasingly weirdly written: there are things in there which are in the shape of jokes, but not actually jokes at all. Like, Q mentions a car he personally prefers, so you'd think it would be a car which reflects his non-action personalit…
  • I watched Into Darkness tonight, which I haven't seen in years, maybe since the cinema. After watching ST'09 again last week, and being reminded of just how good it is, this one remains a really big disappointment. Maybe the worst thing is that the …

  • Neil said on Bluesky that TND is back in stock: https://lalalandrecords.com/tomorrow-never-dies-expanded-remastered-limited-edition-2-cd-set/ Also Arnold's Stargate is down to the last 40 copies.

  • Agree on Auger, but I don't know if I'd say Chiles is terrible; I think she gives a perfectly decent, professional performance. It's just not very memorable. It might be the character in part- this is probably just me(!) but I actually find Stacey S…

  • I guess they actually used Quantum of Solace, so anything seems possible after that! :D

  • What's SoMe?
  • I think he definitely had a Connery look, I remember thinking it at the time. But being a Connery lookalike almost makes you guaranteed not to get it, regardless of how good you are.
  • New head canon added- thanks! :)
