I think it was concluded somewhere that the light blue line shirt on the train was from Orlebar Brown. Has anyone else bought the Sanders Chukka boot? I bought a pair in snuff suede a couple of weeks ago, amazing shoe and well worth the money.

What does it matter if he drinks it for 1 second or steadily glugs it throughout every scene. The point, which you have missed, is that he drinks it at all. Heinekin is rubbish, and thus it is totally out of character(however you define it) for Bond…

Skyfall didn't add anything new to the 'cyber-warefare is the new threat' concept. That has been in movies for yonks. Watch Enemy of the State(1998) and beyond that even. Bond just seems a little behind the curve in SF and SP, whereas in QoS and to …

I do think Tom Ford needs to be dropped. I've never seen what is so special about his pieces, whether they be suits or a simple polo. It's either very dull or a little bit camp. I know Craig is a muscly guy but the tight polo's are a no-no. As are t…

Please God, not another 'Villain is imprisoned but still pulling strings' trope.

I think SP is the perfect time for him to go. His performance was great, but perhaps he's done all he can with Bond, though it depends on whether they want his Bond to have a happy ending with Madelaine or it to go the way of Tracy. Shame they could…

The QoS chase was ferocious, warts and all. I don't actually think the setting and context warranted that intensity, but for sure it should have been more. Some episodes of Top Gear have more intensity! I might have preferred a clever little cat …

The phone call was a 'fun' touch on paper but probably not worth the way it decimated all of the tension in the 'chase'. It was essentially two VERY expensive cars trying not to get a scratch. Very uninventive and risk averse, like much of the actio…

Yes, the Harrington style jackets always come up small. I have a Baracuta which unfortunately does not fit anymore - British classic! I'd love to have seen Craig wear one instead of the Tom Ford jacket in QoS.

SirHilary, thankyou for the reply. I'm going to buy the Ted Baker one I think. I actually thought that Craig had an outer jacket and some sort of lighter cardigan type affair underneath!

Does anyone know what Bonds navy outer jacket from the Mr.White scene is? Thanks in advance!

I'd prefer that suave agent to the current bisexual emo agent. Hahahahahahahaha. Oh mercy. On a serious note, the article is drivel. However, whenever people criticise Man of Steel, Star Wars NT, Indiana Jones and TKOTCS, or any remake of …

Waltz is Blofeld. All this speculation is meaningless. My only guess is that Oberhauser is his family name, and Blofeld is his criminal underworld name. If they don't use the Blofeld name, then he's still Blofeld just reinvented and renamed - IOW h…
