    Thanks for picture N24. Taking out the garbage and putting the toilet seat down comes later!

    Talking of LofR, reminds me of seeing the 2nd film (I think) with the family. Part way through, my husband needed a visit to the toilet and from where we were sitting, the only way to get there was to go past the screen. Not wanting to spoil the film for the viewers, he bent down and ran across, with only his head and shoulders showing. Just at that time, angry orcs came charging out of nowhere and it looked like they were chasing my husband :)) Everybody laughed but he was completely oblivious :))

    I am unsure where to post these questions so decided to put them here.

    I am saddened for those who were looking forward to NTTD. As for me I am happy to wait.

    I think Daniel Craig being replaced is a good idea. Of the clips of the new film I have seen he is looking too old to play Bond any more.

    I was wondering if any one could answer these questions.

    Will the next film script already be written or developed or will they wait until NTTD is released?

    Will the search for the new actor already be under way? Or will that also wait until after NTTD?

    It has been my opinion for some time that they take too long to make each film since Craig took the job. I hope they can begin to shorten this time when the new actor comes to the role. I am not blaming Craig for this, but the film makers just seem to drag their feet more than is required.

    I doubt it, seems that lately they kind of wait for the actor being cast , then get going on the direction. I think Craig still looks okay, not too old looking and still tough. I think they’d keep him around if he wanted to stay, which is why I’m not sure next Bond will be young, they may just go with a more mature (40’s) actor or actress? If they decide to return to loosely connected episodic adventures again.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,764MI6 Agent
    EON has been very clear that they won't cast an actress as Bond. Even if they're hoping for Craig to return again I hope and suspect they are interviewing and screentesting other actors just in case, much like they did in the early 80's.

    They could always cast a male actor who identifies as Female ? ;)

    No, I don't see Michael Cera in the role. :v

    I'd say any fans of " Will and Grace " ( Like myself ) will have heard the expression,
    and other funny sayings too. ;)

    I was scanning this thread to see if there was anything interesting and I misread it and thought it read: Medieval faces reveals how diet changes since may have led to disease. :))

    Our movie watchalongs were great fun, but sadly they did not end on a high. I suggest we revive the "franchise" two more times and watch "The guns of Navarone" and "Where eagles dare" together. In my opinion the two movies are the military/war versions of James Bond and I know many of us love them. Besides, NTTD is pushed back again so we need some fun in our lives and in AJB in particular.
    What we shouldn't do is to decide on a date and hope for the best. We have to find out how many members are interested and then find a date when as many as possible can join. Who wants to do it?

    I'm game. Either of those two is fine by me.

    I would be interested in both. Only problem with Where Eagles Dare, is I only have it recorded and that includes adverts :(
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,764MI6 Agent
    I need to get "Where eagles dare" at the library so I need a few days of warning. The response so far has been nice, but let's wait a few days before we decide on a date.
  • Charmed & DangerousCharmed & Dangerous Posts: 7,358MI6 Agent
    Can't you just scale the library walls, retrieve the DVD, blow up the library, then exit via a cable car while spraying any disgruntled librarians with sub-machine gun bullets?

    Doing it old school? I'll do that, but we need to agree on viewing dates first because I need to return the DVD after a week.
    I have an idea: Why don't we watch one of the film on election night? We probably won't know anything significant until the next morning and it's not unlikely we won't know the final result for weeks, so why not spend the night doing something positive and constrauctive? :)

    Both the war films mentioned I watched first time only a couple of years ago or so. I was disappointed with both for several reasons.

    Someone then told me I must watch them and not take anything in them seriously (a bit like Roger Moore James Bond films I suppose). It is advice I have taken on board, though I have not watched them since.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,764MI6 Agent
    Any resemblance to real war in the two movies are completely accidental, that's part of the charm. :D

    I realise I must switch off my 'that could not happen!' way of thinking if I was to enjoy these films!
