Absolutely. He was one of the last true titans of the film industry who cared about the Bond franchise a great deal. I can't imagine him even considering Craig for the role of Bond. Red Grant's long lost son, maybe. :)

He is her 007. Next year he will have had the job for 10 years a lot of what ifs in between 2002 to 2006 then to the future when Craig leaves.

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

Replace script-writers!

Seriously, I can't believe it's still P+W. I've personally found every Bond film they've scripted (TWINE on) to feel, I don't know, sort of disjointed. I know most of the classic Bond films weren't known for their elaborate plots, but the modern films just don't seem to flow right for me. They're uneasy watching. The clunky product placement and pathetic "homages" probably don't help.

Especially with CR.God,it's so d**n boring to watch.It's not about Craig only.I mean I don't what was with all that awful dialogue.TWINE got things teriffically in one part.But it's like they threw Christmas Jones in,made a pun about her and then took the day off to congratulate themselves.I seriously will never understand how Apted,the so called "character director" said "yes" to that...

Well we know that's not true. ;)


Will the real Olwen Williams please stand up.


Well whatever. I disabled your avatar for now, which ironically actually was too big, I suppose that was your point. The admin will have to fix the scaling issue and re-enable it.
Still you're welcome in my book.
Cheers!
