    The issue with timestamping was the 60 seconds rule.

    I‘ve attempted to timestamp more often but was then forced to wait because I have previously posted something.

    I can‘t enter the posted url.
    But I used

    https://greenwichmeantime.com/

    Which should give good infos.

    It seemed that parts of the UK and Norway had a version which was 2 minutes shorter and one in Scotland seemed to be very short as he was running ahead for 10 minutes.....

    Just curious: are there different cuts of the movies that might effect the running times? I know that CR has some different edits to it depending upon the version that you're watching (a few cuts for violence here and there) but nothing that can really change the overall runtime all that much. If so, then that might explain why people who supposedly started at the same time could find themselves at different points in the film.
    I dont know the answer, but see this post:
    the first four films had cuts by censors as originally released, some of which have been restored in the dvd's, some haven't.
    FRWL had a bunch of little cuts some of which have since been restored.

    but what about the splitsecond of blankspace before the gunbarrel, or the corporate logos and legal text that appears beforehand on my dvd's? is that counted in the time and universal to all dvd's?

    And also, I was wrong about the approximate time Bond and Quarrel beach the boat: it was more like 1:01:20, and that alone could account for discrepencies amongst the audience. So if we do research timestamps in advance, they gotta be precise and not from memory.

    The version I saw is 1 hour and 45 minutes.

    considering Honour Blackman just passed, any second thoughts about maybe watching Goldfinger after FRWL?
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,702MI6 Agent
    Perhaps we should even replace FRWL with GF tonight in her honour?
    We can watch FRWL at a later date if we want to.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 36,053Chief of Staff
    I'd go for that.
    Higgins?
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,618MI6 Agent
    I‘d be ok with that but I guess that it‘ll surprise many.

    Not sure if I can change the headline though.

    Thanks again for all who participated yesterday night.

    So, should we continue with this?
    When and which movie?

    TSWLM?

    Will try and watch GF when I get up as just finished a 13 night shift.

    I watch FRWL yesterday afternoon

    I think we should watch DAF together :D :D :D :D
  • JTMJTM Posts: 3,027MI6 Agent
    I’d like to throw OHMSS into the suggestion box. Continuing relatively chronologically.

    I have suggested some of these events should be at a time where people in the west coast of the USA, NZ, Australia and the Phillipines can participate more easily.

    I think we should watch OHMSS followed by DAF, then move into the Moore era. My suggestions are LALD, TSWLM and AVTAK.
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,618MI6 Agent
    I also wanted to continue with TSWLM but I am ok with OHMSS which is my favorite Bond.

    But we should move then to the Moore area with 1 or 2 and then continue with Brosnan and Craig :p

    Should we do one event for our pacific brothers at 9:00 GMT and who from the UK and US will join us then?

    Oh no, you don't :))
    In many ways I'd like to watch LTK since it's the most Daltonesque of his two entries, but I'm worried about Higgins' health (physically & mentally) if we do.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 36,053Chief of Staff
    9.00 GMT is fine with me.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,702MI6 Agent
    It's completely wrong for me, because that's when the geographical quiz "The Easter Labyrinth" starts on the radio. I've been listening to the labyrinth every year since 1987 and an easter without it is simply not possible. Now you have to consider if it's possible to watch the next Bond film without N24 :p

    Multitasking?

    No, I'm listening to the quiz with my parents. It's a family easter tradition. Just go ahead and watch Bond without me.

    I'm having great fun with these watches and hope they continue.
    Major props to you Higgins for coming up with the idea and organising.
    Here in Toronto our quarantine/shutdown period is scheduled to last until end of June(!!) and these viewings are the most social contact I've had in three weeks now, virtual as hey are. Thus good for my mental health!

    Weekend viewings including Friday afternoon (my time, that's mid-evening for you) are more justifiable. I am trying to "work from home" to the best of my abilities.

    you know i'm a proponent for going through all 24 films in order, but could happily leap ahead to ...Spy... for this weekends viewing. Out of the remaining films, it is the one most likely to generate the same enthusiastic participation Dr No and Goldfinger did.

    what we should all do is count all the actual times Dalton weeps, and then confront Higgins with the evidence.
    Therefor we need to watch both of them, very carefully.

    But Higgins' blood pressure …… :o

    He weeps roughly every 42 minutes in TLD.
