The Simpsons’ spoof James Bond episode ‘You Only Move Twice’ was first broadcast in November 1996, which means it’s closer in time to the release of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE than it is to the present day. More news on how ancient we all are as we get it.
When you treat your elderly relatives to a pub lunch in the countryside and glance in the rear view mirror on the way home
Many happy returns to one of the 436 great things about Octopussy - Steven Berkoff - born today in 1937. Be thankful I didn't try and write a limerick for this guy, although it sure was tempting.
Wishing a very happy 77th birthday to the only Bond woman seen in 007's own bed (and wardrobe): Madeline Smith - who played Miss Caruso in LIVE AND LET DIE
There once was a famous director Well renowned in his sector He thrilled us all With the movie Skyfall And to a lesser extent with Spectre Many happy returns to Sam Mendes, 61 years old today
Many happy returns to CASINO ROYALE’s indispensable poker explainer Giancarlo Giannini, born on this day in 1942.
How to know the next two hours are going to be just fine
It's days like these I wish I drove a convertible
When you hedge your bets about stretching the Tracy Bond continuity this far into the franchise.
DID YOU KNOW?: Daniel Kleinman spent months touring northern Russia's freak show circuit on a hunt for a two-faced gun-tongued model needed for his GOLDENEYE title sequence, only to discover one waiting tables at his local branch of Wagamama in Putney.
Happy International Tiger Day to all who celebrate.
Sir Roger Moore’s “Well” Wednesday: I hope this finds you well. LIVE AND LET DIE (1973)
Watching THE ODYSSEY the way Nolan intended
Gunther von Hagens has died at the age of 81. Bond fans will know him from CASINO ROYALE where he has a cameo appearance with his Körperwelten (Body Worlds) exhibition in Miami. May he rest in as much peace as he afforded his specimens.
Christopher Nolan’s not the only one who likes to shout about his favourite projection format
FOCUS OF THE WEEK: This week we focus on the way Sean Connery says 'tonnes' in GOLDFINGER.
And people think Daniel Craig pioneered the whole ‘gunbarrel homage intergrated into the narrative’ thing.
Only BrosBond could appear this smug while sporting the sort of light-adaptive glasses you see advertised in the back pages of the Radio Times
M "What happened to Slate?" 007 "He err...slipped off the roof." M "Was he hurt?" 007 "He was 'shattered'." M "Bond, are you trying to say that he's DEAD?" 007 "Sedimentary, my dear M. Sedimentar..." M "Slate is a metamorphic rock, not sedimentary." (Long pause) 007 "Tile me about it!"
Things Bond would've said if he was still played by Roger: "So much for a clean Slate."
It's been 14 years since this iconic Olympic Opening Ceremony moment. And to think they both died within a year of each other!
A VIEW TO A KILL: the perfect blend of old romantics and New Romantics
#DidYouKnow Honoured to see his novel 'A Farewell to Arms' namechecked in LICENCE TO KILL, Ernest Hemingway rushed home from the cinema to write a follow-up featuring Felix Leiter, called 'A Farewell to Legs'
Sir Roger Moore’s “Well” Wednesday: Something a little different this week... A proto “Well, I er” from Roger, starting as he means to go on, appearing as James Bond on the Mainly Millicent comedy show back in 1964.
