ah cmon now Brendan. I agree it wasnt the best but.......


International conglomerate of villains conducting secret meeting whilst watching Tosca- That was quite fanciful

freaky looking bodyguard wearing weird black neck brace after fall- nice touch.


and am I still the only one who liked 'villain eating fruit menacingly?'


and how about 'I can't find the stationary' for a chat up line.


these were all good bits!

Am I the only person in the world who thinks the definitive Bond was Roger Moore?


I prefer Bond as the quintessential English cad with one eyebrow raised. Daniel Craig is brooding and miserable. He does for Bond what Christian Bale has done for Batman - turned him into an inarticulate, soul-searching bore "for the post 9/11 age" or whatever.


Where's the fun gone?

Went to see Quantum of Solace last night and enjoyed it. Has the derivation of the title been mentioned yet? (cant be arsed reading the past 2 pages). Its a Fleming short story that notes that in the immediate aftermath of the death of loved one "There is not one quantum of solace" which makes sense of an otherwise odd title.
I thought the run through of Peckham Rye Park was great, especially the backdrop of the Bowling Hut going up in flames (again) when it got nailed by the stinger missile, then he runs into the play area and tries to hide but the lack of equipment means he is seen straight away, luckily his enemy is hit by a falling branch and knocked unconscious, great scene.

I agree. I was very sceptical when Craig was cast, but having seen both Casino Royale and (tonight) Quantum of Solace, I am quite happy to admit I was wrong. He is simply brilliant and makes the other films look like nonsense by comparison. Moore in particular seems like a ridiculous buffoom - more of a pastiche of the real thing - frankly closer to Austin Powers than Craig's Bond.


I wouldn't say Daniel Craig is traditionally handsome... but I've never seen a man look so devestatingly sexy in a suit either!

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
