Is the big twist they're saving for B25 that Blofeld is actually Fleming's brother?
In my opinion the BBC miniseries as well went too far with certain homages, but I definitely enjoyed it a lot.
The BBC miniseries did all those in an exciting way and Lady O’Neill was done better in her fictionalized format. One thing that she repeated constantly in this one was “Death is the best revenge.” whereas it was said only once by her in the Dominic Cooper adaptation. I’m guessing that’s an actual quote used by Mrs Fleming when her first husband was killed during the war.
To be honest, I can imagine the craziest of things down around this subject, it’s comedic and frightening at the same time. :))
Meaning that Blofeld is Bond's uncle?
I can see Blofeld being furious at Fleming since his Bond novels were more successful than Oberhauser's "All Your Pain", which was soon forgotten by the reading public.
Now, take a look at this rip from an old Spanish VHS and pay attention to the light:
I understand the Blue-Ray did "something" with the light too. Which one could be the right version to watch?
By the way, interesting to see the camera zoom in at the end of the letterboxed gunbarrel sequence. Hadn't seen that before. As I said, I taped the film off TV some 22 years ago and in that copy of the film, the gunbarrel was vertically stretched to fit into the 4:3 aspect ratio.
"My name is Bond. James Bond."
Well, he's played Bond on the radio at least.
I say this all the time, but we missed out on never seeing Jason Isaacs in the role.
He feels very Flemingesque to me, a modern Hoagy Carmichael but a bit crueler in the looks just like Fleming's Bond, and those blue eyes just a striking as Dan's. He'd have been amazing to see.
Thank God we have Clark Devlin as a small substitute for that. ;)
He'd be the kind of actor I'd select for an HBO miniseries adapting the stories.
"Case Histories" had a film noir feel to it - down on his luck PI. It seems to have been superseded by "Strike".
I've also found that Isaacs played a detective and an agent respectively in the shows Awake and Dig from a few years back, which also look very interesting. I've got a lot of watching to do!
I guess by the time they were casting CR in 2006 he was 43 so just a bit too old. Shame as he could have done a great job and is a ringer for Fleming's original sketch of Bond:
No. You should create one. Or maybe do it in the statistics thread. It might make for interesting reading. I know I would be. A few I can name.

just a thought
I see the Craig films as in their own bubble/timeline,and don't link them with any of the other Bond films.
It has its own story-arc unfortunately.
