    I don't mind what the title ends up being, I just really hope, if DC is back for one more, they keep the established Craig era alphabetical order going. The digital copies of CR - SP on my computer and their soundtracks in my iTunes are in a very pleasing correct order and if B25 wrecks that it would probably drive me crazy :))

    Lol. You can edit the order by changing the sort name. I do this so NSNA again is at the end

    It's interesting, you can take a Fleming Bond title and reverse it and it still sounds cool. The one I've come up with is to take THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS and reversed it into THE DYING NIGHTSHADE. I think that'd be a cool title. Of course another variation would be THE DYING MOONLIGHTS or THE DYING STARLIGHTS.

    ^ Don't worry about it, we all do that from time to time.

    I ways liked the idea of using a part of the Tennyson poem from Skyfall as a title, but nothing seems to work.
    "heroic heart"
    "to strive, to seek, to find"
    "equal temper"
    :#

    But as we now have Blofeld back and he is operation bedlam, that would be a fitting title
    "bedlam" or "code name bedlam"
    Also fitting after bonds leaving in Spectre would be
    "licence renewed"
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    Considering that the overwhelming majority of movies today are either re-makes, sequels, prequels or just copies, I see nothing wrong with modifying existing Bond titles, right? How about:

    I really haven't been keeping up with this, but how soon do you think until we hear something concrete about this movie and will they hold a similar show to reveal the name of it like they did for Spectre?

    Nobody knows how long it will be, although I think we all agree on "too". And most likely there will be a press conference or announcement as with SP.

    John Gardner's novelization of his own screenplay for THE LIQUIDATOR (not the original novel, the novelization of his screenplay based on his novel - confusing I know) has two chapters with titles i've always liked : MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE(S) & WHAT THE EYE(S) CAN'T SEE. I really like either as a title for a Bond movie. The emphasis on the word EYE(S) with the brackets rather than EYE is very Fleming in the sense it has ironic double meaning but a little double entendre in there too. Plus they sound like Bond movie titles more so than Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and SPECTRE did.

    Huh? Never heard of this before. ?:)

    I don't think it exists! For one thing, Gardner didn't do the screenplay.

    It doesn't, as far as I know. You're right of course. Maybe he was thinking of the GoldenEye novelisation Gardner did, although it doesn't have those chapter titles. As it is, I'm totally confused? Perhaps BondJamieBond can fill us in?!

    I've had it confirmed by no less than John Gardner's son that there was NO novelisation of "The Liquidator"- he says

    (a) There was no need, since the film followed the novel closely

    (b) It would have been pointless, since Gardner would have been competing with himself

    Over to you, BondJamieBond!

    I'd like to see Risico or Property Of A Lady.

    If as reported Craig is back , it would be fitting for him to bow out how he begun, using a Fleming story. It would be nice to pin together an original Fleming piece , although some non Fleming original stuff has been imaginative , I'd like to see something that goes back to a core Fleming idea again.

    I was really hoping Spectre was Risico but we can wish can't we.

    I still like The Death Collector as a title. I heard it was one of the titles proposed for SP. And have Risico be the title for Bond#7 debut film.

    I think The Death Collector would be a perfect title for a faithful YOLT telling. And I've got a great scheme for Blofeld :v

    Maskirovka

    This is a Russian word meaning more or less masquerade or deception, often used about military deception. The way Russia grabbed Crimea is a good example of Maskirovka.
