Wasn't it three years between TMWTGG and TSWLM?One came out in 1974 the other in 1977.

You are correct. And it was only 18 months between LALD and TMWTGG,

No wonder when LALD was such a great success.

Correct "V". I got the dates mixed up. It will be the longest hiatus ever between films with the same Bond actor. This is Broccoli's idea of excitement by bringing back an over-the-hill lout to extend his tenure to 15 years, from October 2005 when he was announced to 2020 :!: Nobody ever thought this insanity would perpetuate this long, which will make it at least 18 years between new Bonds at this rate, unless Broccoli wants her Cr-egg to reach the silver anniversary tenure date, all the way to 2030, when the loser would be 62 :!:

I'm debating whether to finally watch SPECTRE all the way through, as an endurance test.

Whishaw, who played the classic gadget genius Q in the previous Bond films Skyfall and SPECTRE, has cast doubt on whether he will be putting in an appearance for Daniel Craig's swan song as James Bond.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Whishaw stated "I’m not even sure if I’ll be in it."

"I’m assuming that I’m not going to be so it will be a nice surprise if they put me in. I think it’s right [director Cary Fukanaga] and Daniel need to just figure it out. I’ve done two; I’ve had a good run."

My polite suggestion is you do. If you can get through that you can get through pretty much anything.

I'm with V, while it may be torture you'll be able to give a more complete condemnation. May I humbly suggest in order to keep from gouging out your eyes out of sheer boredom and horror couple the viewing with my introspective guide located on the DiNB website!

I for one will be watching Dan (the greatest actor to eva play Bond), in his finest performance which appears in that tour de force of a film Cowboys and Aliens!

I'm never going to watch Spectre. I think it was the one where Craig wore a white dinner jacket and looked like something from a circus act.

I saw a clickbait link with the headline "Key James Bond star doesn't think he'll be back for Bond 25", next to a picture of Daniel Craig. I didn't click the link, but how much do you want to bet that it was actually this story?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, though I know she is one of the older members of the court.

As a cancer survivor myself, it's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
