  • It was only after many viewings of OP that I noticed that during the scene when 009 staggers into the British Embassy gardens the guard completley misses the car door handle.
  • It's been a while since I've updated the list and with the 50 year anniversary a fair few new Bond related books have been published. As before I've only listed the books that I actually own so feel free to add any that I've missed as it would be gr…
  • This may just be a malicious rumour but I'm sure I read somewhere that Tim and Babs had a brief romance, I'd be so jealous if it did happen, I have such a crush on that women it's unbelievable, I would take her over any of the Bond actresses...hang …
  • 'Ronin' and 'The Kingdom' both contain really impressive realistic shoot outs in the vein of 'Heat'.
  • Back in 1990 the Sun reported that all four of the Bonds (Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Dalton) would be working together in the next Bond film. I know it was a really bad idea and would of completley screwed up any sense of continuity but I still wou…

  • For my first wedding dance my wife and I danced to a live band version of 'Nobody does it better' and even if my wife and the majority of our guests thought I was terrible and lacked any sort of rhythm at least in my head I felt like Sean Connery do…

  • Yes I agree with @DarthDimi, even when seeing this scene for the first time in the cinema as a 13 year old I was much more interested in the size of Tim's ...(ahem) silencer!
  • Tracy does say the line "Why do you persist in trying to save me Mr Bond?" in the casino scene and I've always assumed this is what the track title is referencing.
  • I remember reading this article when it was first published and thinking it's a shame someone as talented and successful as James Martin needed to lower himself to what is basically a 'kiss and tell' piece of gutter press trash, while I'm always fas…
  • I was really impressed by the preview, IMO this could possibly be the best Bond theme for years, not really a fan of Adele but her voice does seem perfect for this type of song. Can't wait to hear the whole track.
  • Didn't really do it for me I'm afraid, very TND feel about it, too little DC and the adverts subtext seems to be saying 'Even our newest and most sophisticated security products are no match for a determined intruder'...very curious!
  • Although never my favourite Bond, I do think Brosnan always looks amazingly good in a photo shoot...(In a very heterosexual way obviously!)
  • Sorry deleted double post
  • DB5 wrote: I read "Nobody Lives Forever" and didn't care for it at all. Then tried "Icebreaker" and abandoned it half way through. I keep thinking maybe I'm just choosing the wrong ones. I've read all the Flemings, even "The Spy Who Loved Me" and …
  • With the exception of the dire Icebreaker John Gardner's early novels Licence Renewed, For Special Services, Role of Honour, Nobody Lives Forever and No Deals Mr Bond are all worth a look, after that they deteriorate rapidly and really not worth bot…
  • Got my set on Monday though sadly due to other commitments I've only got as far as LALD. Really impressed with the quality of the Blu-Ray disks (even if they do make George look more weathered than I would of believed possible). I don't really mind …
  • I picked up a copy of this book from Waterstones two days ago even though I don't think it's meant to be published yet. I kind of like the cover, it's very reminiscent of the 80's style Bond reference books. The photo's inside are great, especially …
  • Being a Bond completest I ordered this book expecting it to be nothing special, but I have been amazed by just how good this book is, being roughly the same age I can relate to so much of it (I've done the pilgrimage to Amberley chalk pits and Sally…
  • Although I own all three previous Greg Williams Bond books, I can't honestly think of any time I've looked at them since the original day of purchase, the photos are great but considering the rather hefty price tag I'd be far happier with a suitably…
  • I always stay till the end of the credits, though more because of the soundtrack rather than the credits themselves.
  • I hope the classic Bond theme will be in SF, with the 50 year connection it would be more than appropriate, not sure about the 007 theme though, I never did like it even in the 60's films and it felt so out of place in the MR boat chase. I suppose a…
  • I've often wondered if the decision to rearm Daniel with the PPK rather than the larger, more powerful, Pierce friendly P99 was down to the fact that his sheer physicality in CR proved that he didn't need to blast twenty odd rounds off in one go to…
  • Oddjob has another crack at Sean with a straw boater hat!
  • Though it saddens me his attitude is entirely expected, he's made his feelings of animosity to the Broccoli clan very clear over the years, and not knowing all the facts it's possibly not for us to pass judgement on the merits of his resentments. Fo…
  • I picked my copy up today and while it's certainly more extensive I'm not totally convinced it's worth getting if you already have the Tony Nourmand book, though the dreadful lobby cards are rather interesting, especially the one on page 160 from TM…
  • I guess I've been guilty of my fair share of Brosnan bashing on this forum and to be honest I'm not really sure why, yes he is my least favourite but unlike @Volante I didn't dislike his portrayal of Bond and at the time I felt he was the right man …
  • AVTAK despite being a lame, lazy, cheap, miscast, dull, lackluster, poorly executed attempt at a Bond film is still far, far superior to DAD.
