    Yes, great stuff. Thanks for posting.

    I love how Bond checks out the Aston. Seydoux is ravishing in that black and white photo sitting in the chair.

    This may be of interest to a lot of people as Mendes confirms that the Spectre of "Spectre" will not be SPECTRE.

    The acronym is gone.

    Personally, I'm happy as it seems a little outdated and campy to have SPECTRE in a modern Bond film. Plus, if you call your terrorist group Spectre you really don't have to back-engineer an acronym, it sounds ominous enough as it is.

    It's been annoying me a little over the last couple of months seeing sites like mi6-hq refer to the film as SPECTRE. The acronym is gone.

    I think "SPECTRE" simply looks cooler ;-). Moreover, 007.com is mostly referring to the film in full caps-locked capitals

    He's meaning it no longer stands for 'Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion'.

    I know that. I think it was also in the Total Film article. Hence why he likes to use "Spectre" instead of "SPECTRE". It was also in this article.

    Perhaps this could be the reason why "Doctor No" isn't included in the SPECTRE-steelbook set that will be released in two weeks from now :-).

    Pretty sure that is the only time you actually hear what SPECTRE acronym stands for.

    Losing the acronym is an understandable call, just one I think stinks.

    Yes, Dr. No is the only *film* that spells out what SPECTRE stands for. The trailer for From Russia With Love tries to spell it out but drops a word. It's never mentioned in the movie itself.

    Finally, Roald Dahl's mid-June 1966 draft for You Only Live Twice has Bond saying what SPECTRE stands for during the bath scene. But it's never uttered in the movie itself.

    I don't have an opinion yet.. they have the rights now so in a later film if they wish they can always expound..

    For purely subjective thematic reasons I like Spectre way more than SPECTRE as a title.

    Thanks for the article @antovolk

    'Big ideas aren't cheap stunts, they are hard to find' - Sam Mendes. The difference between Bond and the crappy M:I series! Very elegantly put Mr. Medes!

    And another great quote from Mendes: 'Every set of studio notes, i've received has been 'this is not going to work! this is going to be a disaster' LOL!

    TF referencing Baron Samedi and using a photo of Yaphet Kotto. Poor. Very, very, poor.

    You mean poor reporting or it's in poor taste?

    Something interesting from the article:
    "... Lucia Sciarra, a widow from Bond's past"
    Have I skipped some pages here or this piece of information is new?

    I'm itching to see that fight between Bond and Hinx. It looks so classic, just from that one image and the tiny snippets of footage we've seen of it in the trailer.

    It is believed she's the wife of Marco Sciarra, the assassin that Bond fights in Mexico. So I guess technically he'd be from Bond's past.
