I’m using Safari as well. Been my primary browser(I do use Chrome for a few other things but not as hardcore as I do Safari.)And this is coming from someone who put up with Microsoft browsers for years!

And now for something completely different...a flute that featured on the soundtrack of several Connery Bond films, as well as The Pink Panther and the Beatles song The Fool on the Hill, has gone up for auction in Oxford:

On my phone I use Tapatalk gif this forum and one other. I only check with safari when there is a problem with Tapatalk.
there is a lot more data on the safari page than Tapatalk but Tapatalk is easier to use

I surf more on the iPhone or iPad than our laptop , for work we have to use edge. It’s come a long way but I still like safari better

Yeah,it wasn't just this forum that was having problems, I think it was the whole of Tapatalk. Gellifrey Base, the Doctor Who forum I subscribe to on there, was down as well.

The problem with these directors is that when it comes to hero types in film, NOBODY wants to see a child of that hero. Superman Returns with Routh, Indy and the Crystal Skull. and NTTD, all had children involved by the hero which ruined all 3 films. Action and suspense and over the top fun is what is desired for these types of films.

The phrase “jumping the shark” comes right to mind.

We are trying something new.

WHAT?

We paid for a service to enhance security. The site does not make money, I removed the ads from the forum years ago. Throwing money at a problem is not ideal. However this seems to have worked.

From the report I got, it was something in the order of 1 million requests coming in. Thing is the site can handle millions of views, we have in the past. What these bots target is specifically heavy CPU request. Max it out to deny service. Only certain software, like this forum, have user requests that can be exploited this way which is why we are targeted. They seem to leave alone sites which do not have this vulnerability.

Pretty standard anti bot. I had a message like that a few weeks ago but it never came back. I wonder if they went from dos attacks to trying to hack real user accounts

Speaking with Screen Daily, Knight says he’s been doing research for the new film with “the SAS and even more secret outfits” and has been in touch regularly with them:

“I am talking to them about what they do every day. It’s all real. The author… was living that life. In the war, he was doing those things. He knew people doing that stuff, going out there and killing people. Ian Fleming was such a great writer. To be a writer, you have got to know about people.”

Knight also says he can reinvent James Bond as the brand is fairly bulletproof and has undergone enough reimaginations over the years:

“Bond has been bulletproof. People have been able to make mistakes and variations, quite elaborate variations, and the character has survived because the core of it is like a diamond. You can’t touch it. The person you are talking about is folklore.

You’d be watching as a kid with your dad. The certainty, the confidence and the escape from something, everybody buys into that. That’s the thing with Bond, everybody wants it.”

"You’d be watching as a kid with your dad. The certainty, the confidence and the escape from something, everybody buys into that. That’s the thing with Bond, everybody wants it.”

This is encouraging. Very different from Babbzy endlessly wanging on about how damaged Bond was, and how she struggled to make him relevant in the 21st century.

The new regime will(god I hope so!) right Babzy’s wrongs.

And being a daddy with a child!

Aidan Turns 43 next month and STILL can play Bond for a decade if Amazon wants to do 3 films in that NORMAL time period!

[bjmdds]

Compare Aidan NOW to this:

[bjmdds]

....or BIG EARS!

[bjmdds]

This concept of early origin is ridiculous and that alone delves into the WHY he is Bond. People just want a MATURE action packed Bond!

[kater23]

Bondisnotageriatric.com anyone?

[Kristatos]

I wonder if on some level, they're atoning for the mistake of rejecting Henry Cavill for being too young. Compare Henry now to that photo Katie posted the other day of Daniel auditioning for the role of Rosa Klebb.
