A question for all the #JamesBond fans: Apart from OHMSS, which Bond film do you most personally associate with Christmas. Is it a feeling? A memory? A cinema release? A TV premiere? A gift? Please share some festive Bond stories. 🍸🎄

If James Bond should be rebooted back to the Cold War era with a young actor, then Rammstein needs to do a Bond theme if the film involves DDR as the main location.

I assume @DanhausenAD has a copy.

GoldenEye, but if Guy Hamilton was involved... #JamesBond

A post-Raiders Spielberg introducing Dalton as James Bond a few years earlier would have been quite the film. I'm glad Spielberg has moved on from wanting to do a Bond film these days as, quite frankly, I don't think he would be a good fit now, and he's well past his peak.

Shall we up the blinds?

I'm reading more than ever these days; currently gone through 35 novels so far this year (audiobooks count!). I have let my James Bond spinoff reading lapse, so catching up now. Just started Quantum of Menace, and The Hook and The Eye will follow soon after. Reviews to come!

Sorry to say, I won't be preordering this, but may pick it up at some point down the line. It's not that it's a bad score, but all the best bits are repurposed from Skyfall.

I might have bought a new console for this. 😄

Goldeneye has a character named Xenia Onatopp, played by a prime Famke Janssen who crushes her victims with her sexy ass thighs.

4 more Bond characters who didn't deserve their fate.

I first started my blog as a way to share my thoughts and ideas with James Bond fans for discussion and debate, helping me through a bad mental health spell. I post less now as I'm bombarded by trolls telling me that my opinion means nothing as it's different than theirs.

Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition. Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event. Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen. Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade. The parade that did not exist. Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials. Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie. That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.

Was there a marketing campaign promoting this before today that I completely missed? I was in Waterstones in Westfield today, and they had one solitary copy stuffed on the shelf amongst recent releases.

That's the problem with the world today. No one takes the time to do a quirky reference in a birthday tweet anymore. Happy Birthday to my most entertaining James Bond actor, @PierceBrosnan🎂🍸

The corkscrew jump in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is one of the greatest stunts in #JamesBond history, but we feel the addition of a slide whistle always undercuts its impact… What’s your take, would you erase the slide whistle or keep it? Hear more: pod.fo/e/2ce03b

Madeline Swann was much better written and acted in No Time To Die, but over the course of two films, I still can't buy her as an important a Bond Girl as those films try to present her to be.
