  • "Their Violent Souls" "An Original Treason" "The Hollow Man" "A Tremor of Fate" "The Shining Darkness" And finally: "Oleander, Lily, Lily, Rose" This last one might need a bit of explanation. Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose is a paiting by John S…
  • Roit, bart he don need noe akssent t'bee Bri-ish. There are plenty of British people who don't really have a British accent. Of all the people who have palyed Bond, Sean Connery is the only one who had a noticeable accent (as he speaks Sean Connery…
  • I think Harrison would fit well in the role of Tanner, If Bond films in the future followed the lead of the novels and made Tanner a retired man of Service. Too bad Craig's Bond establishes Tanner as a younger man. To be fair, Rory Kinnear does…
  • AWTD was critisised for supposed lack of meaning in the lyrics (which was brilliantly refuted above by @shadowonthesun). Thank you, boldfinger. I'm an English teacher, so my curse is the ability to distill meaning where there apparently isn't any.…
  • I'd like to think that working with Craig on COWBOYS & ALIENS makes Ford want to work with him again. A lot of other actors have said Craig is very professional and very easy to work with. But I can't help but think that it would be a bit of a …
  • Probably not much, to be honest. It's not like Bond has a lot of interaction with Lizzie at the moment. We might get passing references to "for King and Country" once Chuck becomes king, but I don't think there will be a lot of difference.
  • it's boring. so much for a clear and cohesive argument huh? Yes, it is. Despite everything in the film that should draw an emotional response - be it adrenaline, fear, happiness, distress; whatever - the film consistnently fails to do so. It's jus…
  • Star Trek I watched it because it was on. And I'm glad I did - because it perfectly encapsulates exactly what I dislike about the Abrams/Orci/Kurtzmann line-up. I've never quite been able to quantify it before; I've played a few different arguments…

  • @boldfinger - photos and videos from shooting in Pittsburgh show three Tumblers, a HEMTT, the Batpod and the flying vehicle all involved in the chase. And rotors will apparently be added in post-production because it's not the Batwing, but the Batc…
  • If you refuse to listen to the song, then you have no cause to complain about the lyrics. That would be like someone complaining that Tom Cruise can't act despite the fact that they haven't actually seen a film with Tom Cruise in it.
  • AWTD does have meaning. You just have to think about it.
  • This post contains spoilers for Deaver novels outside CARTE BLANCHE. Consider yourselves warned. Here are some of my thoughts on CARTE BLANCH itself: - I loved the twist about the derailment in Serbian being about the scrap metal and not the methy…
  • For all the critics of AWTD... It sure is no TMWTGG Who will he bang? Weeee shalllll seeeeeee To be fair, when the title of your song is The Man with the Golden Gun, you're not given a hell of a lot to work with.
  • JW: Another ringer with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty AK: Another one with the golden tone voice and then your fantasy JW: Another bill from a killer turned a thrill into a tragedy I've done that one already. A door left open A woman wa…
  • James Bond comes to. He has a splitting headache - everything that happened in Uruguay has been an hallucination, induced by poisons from the Garden of Death, which is where he is now.
  • You want another XXX film, so I'm not really inclined to accept the idea that Zack Snyder is a decent film director. Have you seen SUCKER PUNCH? It's completely incomprehensible.
  • Official plot synopsis: In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone's imagination. Tr…
  • He's clearly described as dead. It was my intention that he is dead, and that Bond would accept that he is dead. As has been explained, everyone connected to Romero is being killed off. Ignoring that basically undoes everything that has been set up.…
  • It clearly says that "the agent slumped to the ground, dead". And if you're deliberately ignoring continuity for the sake of having things your way simply because you think someone else did, you're only going to ruin it.
  • Bond hears a wheezing and opens the door to see Mathis slowly making his way up the steps, grasping his wound. Mathis was shot. In the head. With a high-velocity bullet from a sniper rifle. Most of his brains are scattered over the bar. There's no…
  • (@shadowonthesun - no need to negate my effort as it doesn't fit your plan, I could ask why we are 4 storeys up suddenly? but i wont ,lets get on with adhering to each others contribution) I was resetting the board so that we all knew where to be…
  • Bond staggers back from the INTENSE HEAT - the fruit knives and brandy are not an option. He is visibly annoyed that he made such a mistake. The sniper has now stopped shooting; he is out of ammunition. By now, the fire has taken hold of the bar and…
  • I hope the rumors of another XxX with Xander and Diesel playing him again are true. Another XXX? Really? I remember when Vin Diesel proclaimed that James Bond was dead and that he and his character would usher in the new age of action heroes. Then…
