In one of my Bond fantasies, the producers would have used the Mr. Big character as Fleming wrote him, not the disguise for Dr. Kananga, and Duncan would have played him. Alas, it will never be. . .
That would have been very, very cool. A fine actor; rest in peace.

Just wanted to pay tribute to Margaret Aspinall and everyone at the Hillsborough Family Support Group for their unstinting work and the fight/search for justice for the victims of the Hillsborough Disaster in which 96 Liverpool fans died.
Not only were they killed, but the Police and certain members of the press not only covered up what really happened - but they also blamed Liverpool fans for their deaths, for causing mayhem, being drunk and robbing the dead and urinating on the dead. Today - after 23 years of fighting for the truth - they finally got the TRUTH !
Tom Sims, who performed the snowboarding in the pts of AVTAK and in doing so popularised the sport, died a few days ago. I know the scene isn't top of many fans' faves, because of the Beach Boys song, but I dig it.
John Bond, former boss of Manchester City from the days when you could look at a goalkeeper without getting booked, the only diving was at the swimming baths and 'foreign' ownership in the league was someone who didn't live within sight of the ground.
He happened to be one of my favourite singers...what a voice. And, paradoxically enough, he was a Facebook friend. Received this very sad news in the midst of a dreary 2-day business meeting, which did not help. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for the music.

I always enjoyed Herbert Lom--like most people I immediately identify him with Dreyfus, but he was a versatile actor who was excellent in both comedy and drama and who always made a good villain. He packed a lot into his 95 years! Godspeed, Chief Inspector!
Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner for getting the world record for height assended to in a balloon, longest freefall and first human to break the sound barrier unaided.

Indeed... quite facinating to watch... and I felt nervous for the guy... so glad I got to see this.
Well done Felix! -{

Full of hot air, quite delicate, strangely beautiful, nicely built, very expensive, strongly associated with red bull, floats gracefully like a cloud, goes on camera to the world and has lots of geeky men staring at it and causes a man to rise at a rate of around 1000ft/sec. Oh and it enjoys most of its time being looked at or fettled by a group of men, or better still, it gets one to go inside it.
No wonder they nicknamed the balloon 'Lexi'.
In all honesty, I likened it to the modern equivalent of the moon landing.

I was expecting space march to kick in and a unexplained ship to swallow his capsule. EON has missed a trick there for a 50 years of Bond advert.

I think for me, it was is obvious hesitancy when getting ready at the open hatch... but Joe Kittinger's run down of his check list, and subsequent encouragement was heartwarming....
Quite brilliant!

Apparently kittinger said "imagine standing on Lexi's bed" and away old Felix went, straight in, no hesitation then!
And yes, both I and my shmeckle are smarting..... bloody zipper
Was that as high as Bond was in the space scenes from MR? They could have started and ended that film with a skydive! Mind you, the getting to bang Ms Goodnight might seem the less stressful option.
"The ANC and the people of South Africa are forever indebted to Alf Kumalo for being at their service and striving to expose a system that was inhuman."
RIP legendary boxing trainer Emanuel "Manny" Steward. Arguably the best there's been & by all accounts a very decent man. Trained & mentored many a champion. Very sad news.
RIP Larry Hagman. Iconic TV villain & judging by what his co-stars have said about him, an absolutely brilliant man. Grew up watching him in Dallas & his portrayal of JR Ewing was absolutely superb.
As an aside, it would seem that the family of former boxing champion Hector 'Macho' Camacho will soon be turning off his life support following his shooting. May he RIP.
