    The reason I dislike that 'overdue holiday' line (assuming it plays out like the trailer) is that its so blatantly disrespectful. Bond of the books (and the films) always had huge admiration and respect for M. This is said explicitly many times in the novels and implicitly in the films. That line is the equivalent of flipping M off.

    Agreed, there is a thin like between dry wit, sarcasm and disrespect. When I first heard that line, it did not sit right. You can see from the trailer that he has done something pretty serious during his "holiday leave". Hard to recommend alternatives without getting into spoiler alerts

    Something that bothered me for a while. Actually, isn't SP.E.C.T.R.E. the right writing for the acronym? Since the first word is "special"?

    I think from what we know SP will see Bond and M building a relationship of mutual respect. Let's not forget that in the novels (and sometimes in the movies, to a lesser extend), both characters had their moments of tension.

    The acronym is ridiculous. A terrorist organisation called "Spectre" is intimidating sounding enough as it is, you don't need to reverse engineer a convoluted acronym to justify it.

    If it's any consolation it looks like the modern 2015 iteration of the organisation has dropped the old 50's style acronym. They are not SPECTRE in the new film, instead, they are simply Spectre.

    Both IMDb and Wikipedia list the film as 'Spectre' and (especially with IMDb) they get this info from the studios.
    Apparently, Spectre has a new meaning in the leaked scripts. The title of the film is 'Spectre' and not 'SPECTRE'.

    MOD EDIT: Spoiler tags added - possible SPECTRE spoiler.

    I'd love to see what you think are the equivalents of this line as far as 'tension' goes.

    The film is titled Spectre as in a ghost from the past, I'm guessing.

    You know very well that there is a thread (and only one thread) to discuss spoilers of this nature and you even posted that without using spoiler tags. I've added them. Don't do this again.

    I agree, @Gustav_Graves. I was very close to issuing a warning because of it.

    There will always be that one person to spoil things in a thread that they shouldn't. Happens with every Bond release, so it was only a matter of time. Well done.

    How is this a spoiler? Isn't it obvious? Anyways I'm pretty tired of people calling it SPECTRE anyways, the latter which was mentioned makes a monumental amount of sense.

    Because there is a clear difference between the Production Timeline (where leaks are not to be discussed) and the Leaks Thread (where they are to be discussed). The fact that people still enter this thread to discuss the leaks blows me away.

    The whole "Isn't it obvious?" question is a poor excuse, really. Spoilers are going to be "obvious" once they're revealed. Just like SF: it's obvious that M dies because I know she dies. Thus, when someone reads the leaked script, spoilers are obvious to them. Either way, keep it where it belongs, not here.

    Edited the post with spoiler tags. Next person to do it gets an official waring.

    I get your point but
    I thought it was always assumed Spectre, meaning a ghost, was always the intention of the meaning. Therefore no surprise.

    @dominicgreene, and again, what you assume won't always be what someone else assumes. What may be obvious to you isn't obvious to someone else, and at the end of the day, a leak discussion is a leak discussion, which we have a proper thread for. Leaks are NOT to be discussed in this thread.

    I think people are placing too much weight on this respect thing for M. First and foremost Malory isn't Sir Miles. Secondly, to overdue holiday line is no worse than any quip or back chat Bond (Brosnan and Craig) gave Dench's M. Thirdly, we don't know how the scene plays out; Malory may give Bond a serious bollocking...or not. Malory maybe the new M and Bond will respect his title but simultaneously the first impression relationship was already established in SF and their little back and forth repartee about staying dead set the tone of how Bond and Malory interact with each other. People need to put things into context instead of simply identifying the new M as a man and therefore it's a, yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir dynamic Bond all of a sudden needs to go back to. The overdue holiday line was fine and keeping in with Bond's character and the relationship dynamic he has with Malory.

    I take it he's trying to blend in seeing as he firmly hates the paparazzi.

    "The Death Collector" is a good title but i think SPECTRE is fine this time around.
    If Bond 25 will be a sequel to SPECTRE and Blofeld returns to the series, i wouldn't mind if they use it for the next movie instead of another one word uninspired title like "Blofeld" or else.

    I agree, and no Bond movie should ever be titled "Blofeld". Ever.

    Yeah "Blofeld." as a Bond movie title is uninspired and lame.

    I wish Daniel sported some stubble again. The modern Fleming Bond doesn't need to always be so clean shaven IMO.
