    Apparently, in Canada (@peter, @jake24, @dominicgreene any further info on this?) a second Bond thriller book is published, but the premise isn't quite known. From what I can see with these illustrations, it's sci-fi-heavy with a lot of fantasy thrown in.

    It was mentioned on some thread here before. @DarthDimi is heavily into Ctulhu lore, he may know more about this.

    Bond vs Cthulhu, eh? Now that's something right up my alley!

    Not Bond-related or anything, but I always thought Marcello Mastroianni looked awfully cool in any picture he was taken in. We really are living in different times.

    Crazy to think how much the world has changed in a hundred years. Mostly positive, thankfully, especially looking back. The German soldiers looking at concentration camp footage especially took me aback.

    I wonder what did Vladimir "Thunderfinger" Rasputin do in his heyday at the Baltic Coast? ;)

    I don't think that was entirely the case. Some could've hated Jews as much as Hitler, but I think the horrified looks on some of them (unable to look) are those of men who were enlisted in the war but who never wished for things to go that far (genocide). Like so much of the German public, they were disgusted and shamed to be part of Hitler's nation and what he did with his power.

    He got stabbed. Then shot. Then poisoned. Then lit on fire. Then drowned. Then got hit by a car. And, well, you know the rest.

    And then Odin sent some Asgardian light his way and stored a great power in his finger so he'll be our saviour one day from The League of Extraordinary North Korean Fatmen.

    Much more thrill in the stuntwork than in the last Bond films, and very cool to see how CR gave its nod to these two!

    It must be back projection, I cannot imagine that they shot that on real location, that would have been just too insane. But it looks so amazingly real!

    They had a huge canvas underneath in case they fell. Imagine seeing this in the cinema in 1929. I am still in awe nine decades later, even more now than when I was a kid.

    I nearly wet my pants watching them climb so high up in the air! It´s extraordinary from today´s standpoint. If I consider that up until the 70s people were much more reactive to what happened onscreen, it must have been a mega blockbuster experience to see in the cinema and at the time Laurel and Hardy do such stunts.
