  • Going to wish all members of this Forum a very enjoyable week, as I’m going to attempt to go into radio silence till Thursday night. Am currently watching the final preparations go on at the Albert Hall! It’s been a long time coming but “this is i…
  • And there’s Phoebe Waller Bridge at her finest in that clip with Lashana. Cannot wait for next week
  • Have loved listening to the podcasts, and whilst the visual snippets and vids are fun, they have been so similar for the last year, where as these recordings with the production teams and cast help to reinforce their affection for the series and the…

  • I watched GE again last night. It has imo become the most dated looking of the Brosnan / modern bond films made in the more recent period. It doesn’t help that the look they were going for in large parts was black market post Soviet Russia, so I get…

  • Just reading this morning that Cineworld (uk movie theatre chain) will most likely close all their 158 sites in the UK in light of the delay of NTTD. They were totally reliant on that film creating the necessary revenue to sustain the running costs …

  • Also really hope that’s Jonny Marr on guitar. Lol, Does anyone else think Ned Starkk when he says that line about “nothing left to save? “😉 Proper gravitas! Love the Faroe Islands too. Agreed it’s got to be the Garden of Death set up.
  • Possible spoiler One question I have, having watched SP recently, the part where they allude to Blofeld having gone to Madeleines home, and her having been required to defend herself; is it possible Safin was also in attendance and this scene is th…
  • At long last ...a megalomaniac for Daniel to face off against. Shame he doesn’t appear in full naval stripes. Love that there are some exciting gadgets and vehicles Submarines etc and that chase they filmed in the forest next to us looks incredible!…

  • Just watched Tenet. Rather good and definitely another nice audition for Nolan directing a Bond movie. Good cast too. Had the trailer for NTTD. Feels like an age since we saw it first.
  • Not NTTD specific but a MUST for any fans like me who love the Aston V8; check out Thunderballs.org latest picture update for TLD. I think they have added approx 175 photos to the TLD thread and over 50 of them are the glorious V8 resplendent in the…
  • Yes the money is the most important factor for the investors and studios.....but one can’t help but wonder if the storyline has material in it that could be considered close to the mark for enough neutrals to see it as poor taste...it’s all supposit…
  • I agree with the Mission Impossible threat comparisons. I’m guessing that whatever ideas previous screenwriters and Boyle had weren’t going to appeal to a fresh audience once that was released Including my 9 yo who loved that movie. One issue I have…
  • Loved the Esquire article. One thing I did find interesting having gone to view the cars on display in London, the trick NTTD DB5 has holographic plates , revealing the new Italian licence plate, not revolving. Presumably a way to save weight in th…
  • I’d like to see Safin kill Blofeld early in the film, therefore getting rid of the perceived threat as early as possible, and to rise to the top ASAP, and assume control. After all, in one of the better scenes in Spectre, Hinx gets the opportunit…
  • This will no doubt be unpopular but I think I am one of the few that thought they got the SP DB10 chase right, given that it it’s a film where Bond is ostensibly chancing his arm the second he arrives in Rome, totally out of control and is attemptin…
  • You may be surprised to see what other countries feature; remember hardly any of the production crew ever went to China for SF yet it was a substantial portion of the story....mostly created at Pinewood. I’ve seen some of the sets. You’re not going …

  • Been up to Pinewood at lunchtime ...there’s a very large Italian looking set in place of the Havana one. Very difficult to get pics of but if anyone drives past the roundabout it’s hard to miss
