    I liked the fresh approach of CR: no Q, no Moneypenny. The series had reached a point of diminishing returns with these characters by DAD. How many more flirtation scenes or Q workroom scenes did we need?

    Q in particular had a poignant retirement scene in TWINE and they should have retired the character after that movie as well. Ditto Moneypenny after AVTAK.

    With CR, It felt like the cobwebs of decades were finally being swept away.

    I wish SF had continued in that vein. The M switch is fine (Dench is great but so is Fiennes). So for Bond 24 I'd like to have no Q and no Moneypenny, again.

    Hate to break it to you, but that will never happen.

    You tell him. We all wanted to see Q & Moneypenny return. We glad we did. It stay that way While the Bond movies continue. @ehco if you don't like it don't see Bond 24.

    I think that the liquor company Diageo should out-bid Heineken for product placement in Bond 24 because it owns Smirnoff, Tanqueray, Crown Royal, Johnnie Walker, Captain Morgan, and many more big-name liquors, but above all it owns Red Stripe beer and would allow for a tribute to Dr. No, which also fetured Smirnoff come to think of it...

    James Bond theme Overload. I'm sick of having subtle hints of the Bond theme woven into certain scores. dangit, I want a Bond theme explosion ala Tomorrow Never Dies. I miss the good old days of Bond music.

    Same here. The last time we really had the Bond theme blaring was in TWINE when he escaped the bankers office.

    I want more moments like that, Bond does something cool and the theme song kicks in. Not a subtle hint or the opening notes, I want the full on Bond theme back.

    Agreed, and I think that they should bring David Arnold back for that very reason, seeing as he did both of those scores...

    This has nothing to even do with the content of the film, but I want to get some drawn/painted posters instead of Photoshopped ones for Bond 24 and beyond. The thing I love about the classic posters is that they were truly pieces of art just like the films they represented, and I would love to see that kind of thing return to the franchise.

    Yeah, he does not understand the golden age of films, (personally I think it was the 70's and 80's) the prejudiced views of youngsters nowadays "Ah blud, dis film is crap mun, it's got peeps wid emotions and souls, and dere's actual talking, not just shooting wid dose big shotguns, it's **** batty boy!"

    Me neither. I never got the fascination with Blofeld anyway, and he and his cat are such a cliche by now and totally Austin Powers territory. Enough is enough.

    We could get the Blofeld we have deserved though. A really adversary to Bond like we got in OHMSS instead of the mess that came of him, especially in DAF.

    This has been said many, many times before but Blofeld doesn't have to be a Dr Evil type. Have you read the books?

    I don't know who did those sketches. Sadly I don't know if there is more as I found them on a Blog that reviews James Bond movies.

    That's artist George Almond drawing under John Grishworld's probably detailed instructions for his annotation work. You can see a sample here (this is the author's site) :

    One wish for a James Bond movie would be to spice up the action, make Bond a little more cold blooded. I like what I saw in QOS when he made Dom Greene drink the motor oil - or did he? That movie is poorly edited so its hard to tell. Why would you ever drink oil even in the desert ?

    I suppose that if you're that thirsty, any liquid will do to quench the thirst. The psychological condition one's in might very well allow for such craziness.

    Have you seen the film? I do wonder at times....

    Bond tosses Greene the oil and leaves, end of story. And since it wasn't an action scene the bad editing is irrelevant, considering the editing is quite fine when normal character to character dialogue is going on as opposed to a chase or fight scene.

    On top of that, the editing is an incredibly pointless complaint when it's stated that he drank it later on. The editing played no part in 'Did we see Bond force Greene to drink the motor oil at gunpoint?' Sometimes, I feel people just don't pay proper attention to a film, and they throw blame at other elements of the movie to make themselves feel better.

    I always wonder why people objecting to Blofeld coming back always presume those who do want him back want the caricature, scarred, bald, wearing a Nehru suit and stroking a cat. I know some do want this Blofeld to show up again. But most, I think, want him to return as he was in the novels, the Moriarty, heck the Satan of the Bond universe.

    Precisely! I am eager to read the Fleming novels featuring Blofeld in the future because I am sure I will afterwards hate most everything EON have done in the past with the character and wish for more of a film adaption of what Fleming gave us in TB, OHMSS and YOLT.

    I recently heard that a song artist from Japan named Eva supposedly ripped this track off and used it in her music without so much as giving Barry credit. Is this true?

    That I would not know Brady, however I heard something of a soundalike in an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion.
