For the DCINB site mods, we've been inundated with spam comments the last few days, IDK what can be done, but I thought I'd raise the issue.

He'd be my second choice, after Turner.

Don't think we'll be finding out the answer to that question for a while yet.

There are NO other acceptable choices with these 2 available. Broccoli could still screw it up. MGW has zero input.

My friends have eaten these. I have yet to try it. Has anyone here dabbled in these and like them? Has MP tried them yet? Maybe Cr-egg's Bond will eat one in his final film with a can of beer while on his hiatus from MI6. :idea:

I haven't tried those particular brands yet, but I abstain from meat during the Orthodox fasting seasons, and I've noticed that meat-free products have vastly improved in recent years.

Cavill kind of shot himself in the foot. He has a bad reputation as being hard to work with. Then again considering how prickly Craig is maybe this is a selling point. :lol:

Some new anti spam measures are updated, let me know if there are any issues with the new software. I'm not a fan of some of the changes.

Thanks GE, I was shocked to open my mailbox this morning and find a half dozen or so "replies" to my articles from friendly neighborhood spammers.

Could anyone be more prickly than Craig at this point?

So was OHMSS but back then they actually wanted to stay true to the character of Bond, so the emotions were believable and made sense. Of course all the Fleming Bond books, and the movies that closely followed them, were original stories as well.

The movie industry has a prejudice about series, series based on books, series based on comics, tv series. They are snobs about what they believe to worthy of their efforts and what can be considered art

Same ol' BS every film since Danny took over the role. Remember just last film when Waltz likened Bond films to Punch and Judy shows before making a mockery of the cannon by portraying Blofeld as Bond's long lost foster brother? Real deep story telling there old boy!

Also I suppose M's death at the end of Skyfall is no longer considered emotional?

An amazing likeness, I'm surprised they're stocking merchandise so far out from the release of NTTD
