  • Maybe a bit sooner than the end of the week as it is indeed Helga Brandt who I was thinking of: 1. Brandt is a white woman working in '60s Japan 2. Bond cuts the shoulder straps on her dress 3. Brandt opens the bar where Bond had dumped the goo…
  • 4. Bond lies about me to one of his colleagues 5. I'm loyal, up to a point 6. My superior makes an example of me
  • Major Amasova is incorrect, sorry. This character isn't in a leading role, but does have a speaking role and appears in a few scenes throughout the movie.
  • Thanks again Baltimore. It was clues 3 and 5 that pointed me in the right direction, just took a while to sort through the possibilities. Sorry to spoil your fun so soon :) Okay, next round. This character is not so obscure as the last few, so …

  • Zuckerberg could work as the basis for a movie villain. Putting his personality to one side, he's the head of a company which has access to the personal details of close to a billion people. The potential for someone to abuse that information - be i…
  • The first pilot we see from Pussy Galore's Flying Circus?
  • He hasn't been that active for a while but I'd like to nominate @JobeGDG. His thread's here.

  • Steve Jobs - a driven, focussed perfectionist with a vision and a megaton of cash. Donald Trump - egoistic, political ambitions and a ton of cash. He also runs the Miss Universe competition. Bernie Ecclestone - has spouted anti-democratic, pro-fa…

  • Sorry folks, no-one has it yet. 1. Bond and I have a lot in common 2. I'm the silent type 3. Bond and I make a bit of a mess 4. Bond takes a few things that belong to me 5. If I'd just stuck it under the mattress I would have been okay 6. I …
  • R.I.P Mr Bradbury. Ninety-one years was a good innings. Amazing to think that when he was born TV was non-existent and radio broadcasting was still in its infancy (NBC and the BBC were still 5 or 6 years away from being founded). Of his work I've on…
  • Sorry, it's not Paris. 5. If I'd just stuck it under the mattress I would have been okay
  • None correct. The character I have in mind only has a small part.
  • Neither Graves or Sharkie is correct. 4. Bond takes a few things that belong to me.
  • It isn't Red or Ms Smythe. 3. Bond and I make a bit of a mess
  • Thanks RC7. That was quite a round - "fiendishly difficult and frustrating" sums it up perfectly. On with the show: 1. Bond and I have a lot in common 2. I'm the silent type
  • Is it Lenkin - the chap in charge of the Faberge Eggs at the Kremlin Art Depository in OP? The actor who plays him was also in TLD as the gas pipeline supervisor.
  • echo wrote: I don't think it's that simple. It can't be coincidental that it's 1964. And involves gold. So it's completely impossible that there was another gold heist in 1964? Or must it be a reference to events which don't fit with M'…

  • echo wrote: In OHMSS, M mentions a 1964 bullion job to Draco where he "got away with a chunk of the haul." It's seemingly a GF reference, but no one actually took any gold from the vault. What does M mean? Simple answer: it's not a re…
  • It was there purely to set-up the power-glove suit thingy Graves wore in the climax. Without that line there's no reason for the suit as the laser already works perfectly fine.

  • Mishka/Grishka?
  • It's not my intent to detract from the fact that Fleming created Bond. Thunderball is a Bond book because it features characters created by Fleming (Bond, M, Felix) in a literary universe created by Fleming and featuring the narrative style which i…
