    I'd liked to see some James Bond bloopers, I mean are there any behind the scenes videos where we can see those casts for example like making fun, hanging around each other, having mistakes with their lines, or etc.

    Those were funny bits from the production.

    Does James Bond Franchise have any of those?

    I've watched the BTS Bloopers of other movies, and I'm really laughing at some moments like some wrong lines, stunt mistakes, showing how each films were made, the casts hanging around with some crews and etc.

    Thank you for those who will answer. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    There are some photos of Craig and Mikkelson hanging out on set, but I haven't seen any video. Would be cool to see.

    There's some footage somewhere of Craig learning to drive stick but he keeps stalling.

    I tend not to watch the Looney Tunes cartoons from the sixties, but this was good. I still don't care for seeing Daffy in a full-fledged villain role, though.

    I'm standing at the balcony of our school at the second floor for some fresh air, when this fly comes to me, and rest upon my finger.
    It's Green in color which is rare.

    I usually sees flies as black, but here it's Green.

    Those whites on my hand are caused by the correction fluid. ๐Ÿ˜…

    Can someone tell me what kind of insect is this?
    Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Probably a green bottle fly. You can even get ones which are blue that grow weirdly large for flies.

    003ยฝ: The Adventures of James Bond Junior, R.D. Mascott, 1968. (1966)
    CHAPTER 2
    The Girl behind the Fence

    [James on his way to the Merck cottage.]
    ...
    Where the Windlehurst footpath joined the bridle path there
    was no undergrowth, except for some weeds growing close to the
    wire fence. Through these weeds, James saw someone in the
    pasture, close to the wire. As he walked quietly down, he saw
    that it was a girl.

    She was kneeling down, half-turned from him. The pattern of
    her cotton dress was so faded it was indistinguishable. Her straw-
    berry colored hair looked as if it hadn't been washed, combed or
    brushed for ages. He could not see what he was bent over, but
    from the way her shoulders shook and the strange noises she
    made she seemed to be crying.

    The girl did not hear his approach and James got close enough
    to see that she was staring at something brown and furry, round
    which blue bottles were buzzing, angry at being disturbed.

    James knelt down, not two yards away. She took no more
    notice of him than of the blue bottles. Tears ran down her
    freckled, grubby face, leaving clean streaks. Every so often she
    sobbed. She was only a kid, but she was beautiful in a wild way.

    As he did not want to scare her by speaking, James willed
    her to turn and see him.

    Suddenly she looked round. She had long, light lashes, like a
    cow's. But her green-yellow eyes were like a cat's. For a moment
    James thought that she was scared. Then her eyes blazed. Her muscles
    tautened, as if, like a crouching panther, she might suddenly
    leap.

    Needless to say James is humbled (or should be) by her reaction to their meeting. And the chapter touches on death and danger.

    Unknown to me, the British term "blue bottles" for bluebottle fly or bottlebee.
    Maybe Richard Chopping's real world inspiration for his cover art.

    Yep, exactly. The Iranian women seem to be tearing the country up over it, though, which is great to see.

    For me, Iran went downhill after the Shah was overthrown and it took a lurch towards Islamic extremism with the takeover of the Ayatollah in 1979.

    Will somebody finally invent the "Retired Lawyers' Day"?

    OK, just kidding.
