I just learned via Wikipedia that both Bernard Lee and Robert Brown died twenty years after taking up the mantle of M. Does this spell doom for Dame Judi Dench in 2015?

    No. It's just a coincidence.

    Yes. Considerably.

    And besides. Lee was M in 1962. Died in 1981. That's 19 years. Brown was 1983, died in 2003.

    I've been saying THAT my whole life.

    And, I'm assuming Bernard Lee was signed on or asked to do the role in '61, that's where I got twenty years. Also, one year isn't much off my number.

    Well then one can assume Brown was signed on in 1982. That's 21 years. Lee would be 20 years.

    So you are saying Judi Dench might die 20 or 21 years from Goldeneye. I'm not feeling it. Curses usually are the same amount of years. Not a general range.

    There were quotes for a reason. It's a POSSIBLE curse, not a fact.

    That means Judi would die at age 96 to 97, and that is completely plausible. We all age and must die, but that doesn't mean there is an "M" curse going around.

    Dench will not be 96 or 97 in 2015, she'll be 81 in December of that year.

    This, whatever it is, is from the time the actor took on the role of M, not from the present time.

    And 'M' is the first letter in the word 'Mummy'... This curse must have its roots in Ancient Egypt! Dear God, what kind of evil and villainy are we dealing with here?!

    HUH!

    The W in Wikipedia upside down is an M!

    and the letters ki make up the 3rd and 4th letters of wikipedia, and they're also the first and second letters in the word K-I-L-L :O And M is the name of the character that sends people to kill!

    And the world is gonna end on 11-11-11 12-21-12

    And Dan is 43 years old! 43 minus the 20 years it takes to die once you've been M and you've got 23!!!

    Actually it's a map to El Dorado. You need lemon juice and a blowdryer to see it.

    If you take the 'S' from Skyfall, then every second letter after it and jumble them around you get 'SLAY'. Subliminal message, much? Skyfall may turn out to be a horror after all! :-S

    And if you take 'Skyfall', and jumble the letters around, you get 'sly flak'. What does this mean?! Some sort of cleverly concealed anti-aircraft artillery the villain plans to use to terrorize London? :-??
