    Oi, @Gustav_Graves thanks for spoiling
    where the GB takes place
    . I am serious. I had managed to avoid any spoiler thus far. Didn't I make it abundantly clear in my opening post? No freaking spoilers, of any kind!

    I don't understand your rage over this. At IMDB forummembers are continuously slamming Bond for having no gunbarrel at the start. Now I really thought that mentioning the gunbarrel is MOST LIKELY (NOT CERTAIN YET) back at the start is the one and ONLY kind of info people would love to be spoiled about. Especially since this gunbarrel is never part of the story ("CR" being an exception).

    Also, at this stage in the post production process of the film -it will already hit cinema's in two weeks- it's almost impossible to stay clean of spoilers. Unless you stay away of this forum and lock yourself up! So I find your rage a bit unfitting and also exaggerating. Sorry!

    Bite me. I said no spoilers. It is about the principal. I don't care what they said on other forums. And sorry, but I have managed to stay spoiler free, up until this point. Cheers doofus!

    I have a quick question about the premiere date. Forgive me if this has already been asked, but don't films usually come out on Fridays? I thought the UK always got the Bond film exactly one week before we do in the U.S. (that seems fair - I can't begrudge you that!) but this is a week and four days before, which seems like a random or arbitrary number. I'm not bothered, just puzzled.

    Thanks for any clarification! Cheers!

    Not always on a Friday. The actual date and day of the week (for eagerly anticipated blockbusters like SP) usually coincides with a accounting year-end and/or quarter date. The exact date is also timed not to clash with other movies being premiered at the same time. If it turns out that Monday is the best day tactically and financially, then so be it.

    Usually non-blockbuster movies open at theatres on either Thursdays or Fridays to catch the week-end audience.

    In a big shocking twist the Mission Impossible fuse will appear to the MI theme.
    The gun barrel has finally be done away with!
    Everybody just hates it.

    You all probably think I'm being a little too anal about this (tho we are on a James Bond forum!), and its a pretty minor spoiler, but it is a spoiler none the less.

    What if I told you the gunbarrel was at the end, or better yet, somewhere in the middle?

    Still a spoiler. I, like many, want the movie to be a complete surprise, for better or for worse.

    No, you are correct and have every right to complain.

    Before premiere with fames Dutch people, wil not be on a Monday this time but 1 day earlier on 28 October 2015. Special guest over the years: With TMND it be Daphne Dekkers and Desmond LLwelyn, with Twine it whas Desmond again with Denise Richards. With CR Eva Greene and DC (who better can stay a way) and with QOS it whas Olga.

    Costume designer, Sam Smith or/and Stephanie Sigman & Andrew Scott be a good idea i think ?

    RTL007 wil show a Bond movie from there top 21 and i hope after this we get a special from that red carpet. It not on the day it self, then on the real premiere day when wil show another movie. Movie who wil be show is unknown on this moment. It not be NSNA, OHMSS, TB, Yolt, TLD and TSWLM and Daniel Craig era. The last 3 movies wil be repeat on Rtl 4, but are not part of this top 21. There already started on 29 September with NSNA and 30 September OHMSS (there whas audio error with OHMSS i notice when i watched for 20 minutes or so. Not realy a good start.) and 13 December wil be second view of Skyfall (first view whas earlier this year on 03 January 2015). Every thuesday, Wednesday and Thursday a Bond movie from that top 21 around 09.30 PM on Rtl 7. With exeption if there is Rugby or football. With showing Skyfall half way December, will help Spectre who then be released for 6-7 weaks get new boost in cinema.

    I can't fathom that in nine days, I'm going to have to tread very, very, very carefully on these forums (and the Internet in general).

    Yes, I'll most likely leave from the 26th to the 5th.

    I'm actually slightly worried at just how much I'm going to spend on cinema tickets watching it over and over again!

    I'm probably gonna see it twice, but then that's it. I hate watching nay film too many times so I just get sick of it. That's happen with skyfall. As much of a fan I am, I even get tired of certain bond films, unless I really love them.
