    I know that a few of these are real life buildings.

    I think that's all them, but feel free to suggest ones that we may have missed. I've tried to limit my self for three sets per film. I hope that isn't too bloated.

    That's a pretty good list, although I might suggest substituting the SPECTRE training grounds for the chess room in FRWL and replacing Carver's lair in TND with something else, given that it's a carbon copy of the Supertanker in TSWLM (it's the same set, as a matter of fact).

    If we include all of those, please don t start at 30 points, which has been the norm for a while.
  • SoundofthesinnersSoundofthesinners

    That's 45 entries, about double the usual number. So start with 15 points? I guess you could go down to 10 if you really wanted to, maybe even up to 20, but 15 is the best choice.

    We only have 1 game going at the moment so this one can begin when it's ready.

    I fear this is too big. I think only 2 sets per film. I have to set aside M's first office, as it's so iconic.

    So, with that in mind, here are your runners and riders, to cut this down to size -

    Its a shame that three of the Ken Adam sets have to be whittled down.

    Any thoughts? Feel free to change them. I think the majority of voters wins, on this pre-elimination elimanation... ;-)

    Whyte s summer house isn t really a designed set, though. And neither is Sanchez s house.

    Edited my posts to reflect that neither Whyte's and Sanchez's house are not sets.

    This is going to be live come the weekend. Any suggestions?

    A few thoughts before we go live...

    If we're only including sets that were built specifically for the film, weren't both the Opera House and the Eco Hotel in QOS pre-existing buildings? Could be wrong on the Opera House... Also, can anyone verify whether the Maiden's Tower interior from TWINE was pre-existing or built for the film? The submarine set would be a good substitute.

    On YOLT, I'd much rather see Blofeld's apartment included than Henderson's (or even Osato's office, which is a stunning work of art from Ken Adam in and of itself).

    Similarly, I prefer Skyfall's Macau Casino to either the Abandoned City or Skyfall, but others can weigh in on that.

    And, while not a huge deal, I do also prefer Carver's Saigon HQ to his Hamburg HQ. Again, I'll leave that for others to weigh in on.

    And it'd be a true shame if that terrific retro-futuristic nuclear lab set from Dr. No's climax isn't included. I would gladly sacrifice, say, FYEO's rather nondescript St. George's set for its inclusion.

    A couple other notable sets from GoldenEye include the gas tank room from the PTS and Trevelyan's armored train. Just throwing those suggestions out there.

    Considering what a massive list we have, it might not be a bad idea to split this into two games: one for Ken Adam sets and one for non-Ken Adam sets. Because let's face it, Ken Adam's sets are surely going to rise to the top here. Not saying that a handful of the others won't be able to make a decent go at a handful of Adam's, but for the most part I'm sure there will probably be a pretty clear divide. That could also leave open the possibility of a future 3rd elimination game between, say, the top 10 Ken Adam sets and the top 10 non-Ken Adam sets. Just an idea that could allow us to include more of the many deserving sets here while still keeping the game(s) to a manageable size.

    Yep, the QOS opera house is a real life existing structure.

    For the Eco Hotel in QOS, and Maidens Tower in TWINE, the externals are existing but internals were done at Pinewood. I've eaten at its restaurant/bar in Istanbul so know it's very different!

    That is a HUGE list! We should start with less points per candidate than usual. 10, 15 maybe?

    Just updating the list with a new idea for a game: Chase scenes! I don't know why it hasn't been suggested already actually, but it is now. A classic Bondian trademark, and it deserves its own game!


    Edit: Oops, now I see Car Chases has been suggested already :)) But I'll leave the New suggestion anyway, so the forum can decide if they want a game for 'Car Chases' only or 'Chase scenes' in general.

    Gadgets, let's just get it out of the way.

    And if we do trailers, we'd better use the "expecting someone else?" trailer for GoldenEye.

    That's one thing I had planned to ask about if it gets voted on. There are some alternative trailers and teasers that are noteworthy, but I'm not sure what criteria should determine inclusion for the game.
