  • I'm surprised how well this song is selling, with the repetitive chorus. I love the orchestral accompaniment, the throwbacks to the good ol' days, and for the most part Adele's voice. This track is certainly way better than I'd expected, but even…
  • I would assume, if it is truly missing, that the code was removed from the site. Pieces of web pages don't just get up and walk off by themselves.
  • Honestly, I'd love to see what Nolan could do with a Bond film. He would obviously have to play it far more straight-forward than Inception, but the directing style would likely be a good match. He's not allowed to bring Hans Zimmer along for the …
  • It's true that death certainly affected him but (the way I see it) he didnt "brood" about it for that long in most cases and wasn't always po-faced. He'd think about death when he was alone and then forget about it. It was more something he disliked…
  • I absolutely love the scene in Live and Let Die in which J. W. attempts to arrest Bond: "A secret agent!? On whose side?" And I guess it might be possible that they are secret Republicans, but I feel that J. W. was telling the truth in The Man With…
  • This obsession with Bourne has taken over to the point where we are now crediting him with pioneering the use of gadgets in the field. Quoted for emphases. And, IMO, the move Bond makes by grabbing the book and slamming it into Slate's head, scr…
  • I don't think we'll see Craig as James Bond outside of EON Productions, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him take up another role as an intelligence agent/spy. For example, after they had worked together for two movies in the Bourne franchise, Pa…
  • I would love to see a good portion of the story realized as a film, preferably with a title from one of the chapters to hold it all together (perhaps "Dead Reckoning" or "Cards With A Stranger"?). It is my favorite Fleming novel. The early showdown…
  • ... "Unlike the Bournes and Batmans of this world who are tortured by what they do, Bond is someone who has always reveled in it". Ironically, Ian Fleming's novel version of Bond was rather tortured by his duties. That is something that was left o…
  • @Samuel001 You know the general audience will feel lost when they'll see Bourne isn't in "Bourne Legacy"... They need it to be really simple and explained. Audiences, even general ones, have the same average IQ as the fanboys (of both JBs). Don't …
  • I'm often in LA for a week or so this season, but unfortunately I'm not lucky enough to be in the area this year. Such a shame! I love Lazenby and OHMSS, too! Enjoy it enough for all of us, @JBFan626. I'll be there in spirit.
  • At this point, not only would EON not want Spielberg, but I can guarantee that Spielberg wouldn't be interested in directing a future Bond film, even if it would put his name in the credits of two out of three of the top grossing film franchises in …
  • Getting this conversation back on track: Yes, I fully think that EON should go viral with the marketing for Bond 23. Not only would it have a positive effect on the 007 fans eagerly awaiting the next film, but it would also be a good way to advert…
  • Intriguing. "Bond's biographer." I like that Fleming was able to have some fun with it.
  • When I was a mischievous kid, I used to head over to my neighbor's house after annoying my mother too much. They were an older (not elderly, but not in their 30s either. To me it seemed ancient, but they were about my parents' age) couple, and had a…
  • The original James Bond theme, along with the music of FRWL and OHMSS, get me up and going for the day. As for my favorite "rendition" of any of the pieces, the instrumental of CR's You Know My Name is absolutely breathtaking. I particularly enjoy…
  • Excellent. Both the Brosnan/Moore car chase and the poker game were particularly inspired. I was expecting more Lazenby when I saw skiing featured, though. But maybe that's just because his one appearance is superior to Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan …
  • Of those I've seen here, in no particular order, the top five that I prefer are: Risico The Undertaker's Wind A Whisper of Love, A Whisper of Hate Shatterhand Property of a Lady I've also always liked "Mondays Are Hell," a discarded book title for …
  • Thank you, I appreciate it. But I think I'll wait until someone else posts something more conductive to the 007 fanfic community than vague wishes before I continue. If you like it enough, perhaps that will serve as the impetus that gets you writing…
  • DAD - The PTS, credit sequence visuals (sans music), Cuba until Halle Berry DAF - The theme song, Slumber Inc. AVTAK - Christopher Walken Some of the other films I disliked don't actually have good aspects, in my opinion. Also, I wouldn't call TWI…
  • If nobody else is going to post some fan fiction, I suppose I'll put up a short piece that I worked on a bit last night. It is mostly just a bit of atmosphere and flash fiction, but I also tried to update both his friendship with Leiter, and his rol…
  • I think that Casino Royale is closer in feel to a modern day Thunderball or From Russia With Love than anything in the Moore, Dalton, or Brosnan eras. Honestly, Connery's (and Lazenby's) films have always been the only "traditional" ones in my opini…
  • Quoting saunders: Politically India is such an interesting choice of location at the moment, it's an up and coming economic superpower, it's close proximity to the middle east could be used for story lines involving either international terrorism or…
  • From what I've played, in terms of story and gameplay: 1. GoldenEye 007 (1997) 2. Everything or Nothing (2004) 3. NightFire (2002) 4. From Russia with Love (2005) 5. Goldeneye: Rogue Agent (2004) 6. Agent Under Fire (2001) From what I've playe…
  • I'm "new." I posted a handful of times on the old forum as JBWannabe, particularly in the Fan Fiction section. I figured that I would drop in and see how the MI6forums were doing and found the site nuked. So here I am.
  • I'm 100% on the Michael Buble "Big Band-wagon" for Bond 23. His voice has a classic tone, and he and Arnold could truly work together to write an amazing theme. I love his version of "Cry Me a River," but I think something along the lines of his co…
  • I feel that the literary Bond is externally suave, but internally troubled. The adjective "suave" inherently adds a level of superficiality to the charm that 007 is known for, which suits the literary Bond. He is debonair when he must be, but revert…
  • I feel that this is proof that Thomas Edison could not be more wrong when he said, "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration." It may have taken perseverance to find the correct filament for the incandescent lightbulb, …
  • I would say that I don't mean to resurrect this month-old thread, but that would be a lie. I do hope that this new site sees a similar resurrection in the form of a new DMS, and a continuation of the Fan Fiction section. Personally, I wrote and …
  • Quoting The_Preacher711: Their ranks are converted into a 'grade' and they would have a job/position title- but their rank would be lost. Perhaps this is exactly what happened? Bond could have finally been compartmentalized into his position with…
