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!

    • Even with Acrobat pro - it does not open even though it is an acrobat doc.   Error: "Adobe Acrobat could not open 'April 2025 Dulwich Hill Newsletter.pub' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then choose Save as Adobe PDF from the PDF dropdown in the Print dialog."  
    • I got my hair cut there and was very happy with it. I thought the pricing was fair - less than Blue Tit which is where I used to go. Jonny used to cut my hair years ago. I went to book him but ended up with Gabriele who did a great job. Will use them again. Also their junior price goes up to 17. 
    • Agree. Downloaded the file and can't open it. And unfortunately not sufficiently interested to persevere. I presume it needs something installed on my mobile to read pub files.
