:( ;)
Anyway, two tv channels are running Bondathons since weeks, Skyfall is going to be on tv soon and the tv ads are quite usual. Perhaps they're not selling tickets in order to get huge queues!!
I assure you that from our web we are making really good efforts to grow up the hype... (we'll have a stand in CINESA Diagonal, Barcelona. Come and say hi!! ;) )
When is it?? I will join :-D!!
Ooowh, and for all you big Bond nerds....and 'gunbarrel afficionado's'. ALL the gunbarrels, including "SPECTRE" (As a gunbarrel never gives away the plot of the film, I only put the "SPECTRE" gunbarrel behind spoiler tags). Most of them you can use as background ;-):
A PLYMOUTH-born actor who stars in the latest Bond film has his role specially created after wowing the Spectre director.
Pezhmaan Alinia plays the role of one of the villain Franz Oberhauser's henchmen, Oberhauser chief analyst, in the new Bond blockbuster Spectre.
Mr Alinia, aged 41, told The Herald that he originally auditioned for the role of a guard but director Sam Mendes created a new role for him after seeing his audition tape.
He said: "I was asked to audition for a different role as a guard with the casting director and I got a call back that Sam Mendes had seen my tape and liked it and wanted to cast me in a new role that he wrote into the film for me.
"You can imagine the excitement of being given that go ahead in such a high profile production and certainly the most major feature film I have been involved in thus far.
"Sam Mendes was very charming and complimentary and it was an experience that I will always cherish."
Mr Alinia said the filming process was "really great" and that he learnt a lot.
He said: "I spent a week filming with Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz and Lea Seydoux at Pinewood Studios and the set was actually as you see it in the film.
"Daniel had an injury which meant that his stunt double was involved quite a bit in the sequences where he falls.
"Watching how Sam Mendes, the actors and camera people worked to achieve those exciting effects was really brilliant.
"They do most of the work live rather than with special effects post-production which creates that feeling of immediacy that you associate with the danger in Bond films."
Mr Alinia explained that his character is the chief analyst of villain Oberhauser's criminal underground lair.
He said: "He heads a department of tech analysts responsible for providing intelligence to the criminal mastermind Oberhauser – but any more than that would be giving the game away."

Quadrilogy is a word, mainly used for marketing purposes.
Mainly for movies they use the word 'quadrilogy'. Actually, they use the word now for promoting the 4th and last "Hunger Games" movie.
Anyway, I hope you all like the banner :-).
Now Google "Lui Bellucci", and you will find what one can see right now :)
Qos really shouldn't of used camille on the poster.
Why?
In the state of.mind bond was in would've just preferred the poster to be bond left right and centre.
Yea but they were in a similar state of mind ...just not together.
Some facts about the gunbarrel sequences:
===> 11 different gunbarrel poses have been filmed and used.
===> 7 people filmed in total those 11 poses:
- Bob Simmons: 1 pose for "Doctor No", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger"
- Sean Connery: 1 pose for "Thunderball", "You Only Live Twice", "Diamonds Are Forever"
- George Lazenby: 1 pose for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
- Roger Moore: 1st pose for "Live And Let Die", "The Man With The Golden Gun", 2nd pose for "The Spy Who Loved Me", "Moonraker", "For Your Eyes Only", "Octopussy", "A View To A Kill"
- Timothy Dalton: 1 pose for "The Living Daylights", "Licence To Kill"
- Pierce Brosnan: 1 pose for "GoldenEye", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough", "Die Another Day"
- Daniel Craig: 1st pose for "Casino Royale", 2nd pose for "Quantum Of Solace", 3rd pose for "SkyFall", 4th pose for "SPECTRE" (although his poses for "SF" and "SP" look very similar).
===> The original Maurice Binder design, with no 3D optical effects, was used from "Doctor No" until "Licence To Kill". And then once again for "SPECTRE" (albeit executed/included by Daniel Kleinman).
===> The Maurice Binder designed gunbarrels for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "Diamonds Are Forever" had an extra added glow/shine (by lights?) on the bottom right corner. That shine actually moved independently from the rest of the gunbarrel sequence in "Diamonds Are Forever".
===> The dots of the gunbarrel sequences from "Doctor No" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" were also main titles, showing the producer's credits "Albert Broccoli &/and Harry Saltzman present.."
===> The Maurice Binder gunbarrel design was slightly altered by Daniel Kleinman for the Brosnan Bond film, in which he added some 3D effects, that made the gunbarrel shine move independently from the actual gunbarrel hole/circle.
===> For the "Die Another Day" gunbarrel Daniel Kleinman added a CGI-bullet (exceptionally nice shot Pierce...)
===> The most radical changes for the gunbarrel design were made by Daniel Kleinman for the main titles-included gunbarrel for "Casino Royale". In there he photographed the actual, more heavily spiraled gunbarrel inside of a larger sniper rifle.
===> The gunbarrels from "Doctor No" and "Casino Royale" were the only ones that were actually used as part of the main titles.
===> The "Quantum Of Solace" gunbarrel was the 2nd radical change, and there Daniel Kleinman used a CGI-created gunbarrel inside, though it was designed after the Walther P99 (which has a different gunbarrel design than the PPK and the Beretta).
===> And another radical change with the gunbarrel design for "SkyFall". This one looks a bit more similar to the original Maurice Binder design, though it's still heavy on CGI.
===> The gunbarrels from "Quantum Of Solace" and "SkyFall" were the only ones that were used at the very end of the movies, as part of the end titles.
Gunbarrel inside of a sniper rifle:
It's the wrong word. Tetra is four in Greek, hence tetralogy.
Just kidding but thanks for all you do. Fascinating.

They use it wrong. It's tetralogy. Don't care what buzz word the medias jump on.
Actually it is a word it's just based on the Latin prefix quadtri rather than the Greek.
Languages are flexible; they grow and change and import foreign elements but not necessarily foreign word formation rules. Word elements are mixed and matched in ways that make sense to native speakers, if not to scholars of ancient/other languages. There are, after all, words like dance-a-thon or copter.
Since logos is Greek... It makes sense to have the word for four from the Greek word too.
I know, I studied linguistic. But those who came up with quadrilogy were clueless: there is already a word for it... and it takes both Greek roots instead of just one.

They reveal some more interesting morsels including the fact that Logan came up with the majority of the Bond/Madeline stuff (though she was apparently called something else at that point).
More:
That has never deterred languages to make new words. That was my point: language change doesn't care what the rules are or if there is something that makes more sense from a linguistic point of view. You could say that cluelessness has always been part of language development.
Also, as a linguist, you probably know that there is no right and wrong in languages, just idiomatic and non-idiomatic. If native speakers use it, and many of them, it's a word, whatever the linguists have to say about it.
