I don't really like Bond ....although I couid go some for Daniel Craig How are things with you and work  now EC ? .

 I can't think why.

Still busy and they moved me course to my birthday week, so the time off planned is now, well, unplanned. 

Oh noooo Bummer  

I never, never understand the story-line ... ever

Would you like me to start with Dr No and work our way up? 

.That was the best one  

He's on the Graham Norton Show right now.

I've not seen any Bond film properly since Roger Moore 

I very rarely go to the cinema! The last one I went to see was "A most wanted man." Before that "Independence Day!"

i like to wait for the DVDs and watch 'em at home.

Actually - yes

Tomorrow

I'm going to see it tomorrow

Well you can have a warm up by recording BBC Four from 9pm tonight, EC.  There's 2 or 3 programmes dedicated to 007  

I'm just watching a programme on BBC Four with Mark Gatiss discussing the movie series. 

I don't have a recorder I'm afraid. 

That's the first time I've heard 'Goldeneye'. It was dreadful!

In fact, most of them are pretty rubbish!

No idea! Do I still win, though?

And she hopes that helps

As this thread was started to "promote" my planned visit to see the latest installment of the James Bond franchise, I can confirm that I have been to see it, last Thursday and with leave my (non spoiler) thoughts in the Films thread.

I went today.  Loved it.

He's my ideal Bond.  Loved the panoramic shots.

The car....I want it.

The only Bond's I've seen at the cinema are the Daniel Craig ones - it's my birthday in a couple of weeks so I'm saving this til then.

Yes, I enjoyed it too, apart from one small bit, but I can't spoiler it, let's say the bit where Bond makes use of his timepiece!

But yes that car is awesome and apparently the basis for all new Aston cars.

It's also my birthday in a few weeks and in the past It has opened on my birthday  Nice treat for me.

There was one particular European location that I loved (although the opening scene was rather good too), but the sight of those 2 cars....I can't think of a better place for a nice little drive  

Also, I liked the cast.  Hinx just looks the part to a T.

'Burd, you're going to enjoy your birthday trip to the cinema  

Cosi, I have put a little review in the 'Films' thread, you may want to read it and add your comments.

I agree, that european location was very nicely shot. I loved the way the 'meeting' played out and yes, Hinx was very menacing. I think when Bond and Hinx met it was a good scene and one Craig played very well for me.

The brief interplay between Bond and the older woman was nicely done too.

The brief interplay between Bond and the older woman was nicely done too.

We were discussing the hype about the 'older' woman on the way home.

She's 51.  I was expecting some OAP!  

Looked gorgeous, and stood up well next to Lea Seydoux and Stephanie Sigman

I can't get over how much Rory Kinnear looks like his dad.

I'll check out your review too   

I don't know what to think. T'Grauniad film critisiser gave it five stars and said he felt guilty for enjoying the film. I may have to go to see it this week.

ION one can only dream of having a "relationship" with a 51 year old youngster.

I would have to check (I have avoided almost all talk and review of the film) but was it said that it's the first female Bond has had an interest in that is older?

Has to be a sign of the writing maturing and reflecting modern society and it's views.

Yes, Rory is looking more like his Dad now that the hair is thinning too.

 but was it said that it's the first female Bond has had an interest in that is older?

I think it was something like that, yes.

What astounds me is that they'd think that Bond would just shack up with some airheaded bimbo.  The man is uber cool (esp Daniel Craig ); I'd have thought brains with beauty would be a priority rather than the age issue.

Talking of brains and beauty.....hence 'Madeleine Swann'!

Yes, I would imagine that age is not an issue for Bond. For him if there is an attraction on any level that would be enough. I think we need to consider that in his line of work death is round the corner and as such any physical attraction is carried through as it could be his last.

Daniel Craig is in his late forties. It's the equivalent of someone in the forth form having a crush on an Upper VI girl.

I should imagine.

Daniel Craig is in his prime; numbers schmumbers   

If they would be so kind as to cast Idris Elba as Bond, I might just go to the cinema to watch. Thank you very much.

Can't ever see that happening as he would be in his 50's by the time Bond 26 is filmed.

*BOOO HISS*

Live in hope, Cinds - Sean Connery was 53 when he did Never say never again.  

...and it really showed. Besides it's a non EON film so don't count.  

You can boo and hiss at me all you like young lady, the harsh truth is you know uncle EC is right.
