  • I was bouncing around Europe last month and got to visit many Bond locations including those in Paris, Monaco, Rome, Venice (the courtyard as seen in MR/CR being my absolute highlight) and Prague. I didn't have the time to visit Karlovy Vary and Lok…

  • I'm just surprised I hadn't seen it before this week. And I don't think the aspect ratio was any different to how I normally watch it.
  • This is the first time I've caught this but in Dr No when Honey is telling Bond that she can get 50 dollars for a certain shell there's an object in front and below her bobbing up and down. I can't make out exactly what it is... it could be a hat, b…
  • Great detective work @antovolk. That's a decent amount of backstory in that newspaper article. I'm honestly surprised they put that much effort into something that 99% of people would not even think twice about. What's interesting to see are the nam…

  • I'd be really interested to know if the reason that Romer departed and Zimmer/Mazzaro were brought on board was because he refused to use cues from OHMSS out of principle.

  • Appreciate all the clarification regarding the bionic eyes. Reminds me of how the faberge eggs were handled in Octopussy. However one thing I still don't understand in the film is Primo's allegiance to Blofeld (i.e. Spectre) vs Safin. At the star…
  • Gradually warming up to Zimmer's (and Mazzaro's) score I must admit. Favorite track is probably 'I'll Be Right Back'. It combines some of the finer motifs all in the one track, even if it does sound a bit like TDK towards the end. Still not a fan of…
  • Back from my second watch on the big screen and at first I thought No Time To Die was good but now I think it's fantastic. There were so many things I missed the first time about character's allegiances (Primo, Obruchev, Logan spring to mind) that h…
