  • How long before a press story goes round that Cary pushed Craig off a Dock because they'd had a "furious arguement" over his "weight" ... Sometimes everything adds up I'll not disagree with that. But sometimes 2 + 2 is determined to be 5.

  • I was just thinking, it's a pity really that they have already used the surname "Silva" - it would have been a nice little nod - negating any need for Die Another Day levels of throwback- to have it used somewhere in the 25th film. Though I do ponde…
  • To be honest I'd be fine with an old school pun between Bond and whomever he ends up with, after a classic climatic battle, as they sail off into the Jamaican sunset. Camera pans out over the sea and land as the credits roll over the Goldeneye resor…

  • So is that the rule now? The opposite number in Bond Films have to be the collective "type" of the fan base otherwise by laws of scriptwriting and filmmaking Bond shouldn't sleep with them? By that logic I guess now I know why Silva didn't go all…
  • I am also unconcerned. Thing is with big franchises people prefer to overemphasise to the point of exaggeration that which is going wrong rather than that anything going right. Things are easily twisted. Per example I saw a headline only in the last…

  • Thoughts: Great cast and still great secrecy. They seem intent on running a tight ship (after all, was it reported anywhere that a set had already been constructed in Jamaica?). Synopsis sounds intriquing and hinting at a return to a more classical …
  • Whilst it would be unusual to not have the title revealed I suppose there is two circumstances there could be reason for this: 1/ I don't think it would be uncommon for Eon to have indecisiveness over the title, either way they know they're likely …

  • To be honest I've no issue with it being merely a press release with the potential for some exclusive following interviews, hopefully where people ask more pertinent questions in a more relaxed atmosphere. I've rather been off put from full on press…
  • Personally I think there is a great deal of creative licensing going on with the press with regards to Waller Bridge. Simply because she is a female I wonder if it has been presumed by media sources that it's in light of the MeToo era and therefore …
  • Swansong . Or SwannSong if you’d rather. It won’t be that of course but I thought of it whilst trying to contextualise the production of the film in another post . And whilst not truly Fleming-esque, I think the word has a degree of elegance about i…
  • @The_Reaper I respect the points you're making truely I do, there is aspects I agree with and I'll fully embrace the idea that it has been a rather long gap comparable to how things used to work . But comparing Eon, a company with one reliant charac…
  • But, to play devil's advocate, It is rather difficult to market for a movie a year from release, which hasn't even started filming with its principle cast yet, which only recently had its script looked over by a fixer, which may not even have an off…
  • @NS_writings likewise! It was Goldeneye n64 that brought me to the series (perhaps people's anger should be directed at the delay in making a good Bond game, that I'd understand :')) and I recall giving the VCR a bit of a punch when the tapes wouldn…
  • @PanchitoPistoles likewise I can’t put an exact date to the pictures, but @peter is correct to be observant - The article states that they were taken “recently”. Ambiguous journalism yes, but we do know by definition Craig was “recently” - to avoid …
  • Also fully in agreement with your post regarding the benefits of a childhood without technology @NS_writings - in a world of instant communication perhaps few now appreciate the required patience that developed, in the bygone days, when dial up was …
  • Thanks for the welcome and support @NicNac @CraigMooreOHMSS and @bondsum - it is appreciated in all degrees :) And indeed thank you for the, shall we say, constructive criticism, @dominicgreene. Anyone that also sees the good in QoS can't be all …
  • One was loathe to actually sign up having been happily lurking in the shadows, so to speak, for far too many years, but ironically it is the sheer amount of negativity that has lured me in to pass what will, unfortunately or not, go down as my first…
