Granted, but while Bond is trying out the gadgets in aerial combat, he presses one unmarked button, only to discover that it's for 'jettison fuel' and Nelly jr. drops out of the sky, end of series.

P.S.: thecasinoroyale, you are one cruel sumbitch. Quarantine indeed!

I wish TCR's wish granting doesn't happen.

[glidrose]

Granted. But as I wish for the same things, you're stuck with them all, pal.

I wish more people would play the CBn game "Who Would WIn?". Getting impatient waiting to learn who wins: Connery's toupee or Moore's cocked eyebrow.

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted...it's neither. Daniel Craig's torso comes in and trounces them all!


I wish that Pepsi strike up a sponser with EON Productions.

[The Dove]

Granted..but the product placement for Pepsi in the next Bond film turns out to be even MORE obvious and annoying than say the 7-up advertising in the Brazil segements in Moonraker. The bartender who serves Bond's martini is forced to wear red, white and blue outfits with the Pepsi logos and in a scene similar to the Perrier truck smash in Goldeneye, Bond crashes a city bus right into a Pepsi truck spilling thousands of gallons of soda all over the road.

I wish that Barbara Broccoli would jump on board the "in-film" cameo bandwagon with Michael G. Wilson and make an appearance in Skyfall or a future Bond film.

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! She appears in 'Skyfall' in the London scenes outside one of the Tube Stations. Bond bumps into her as he is giving chase in an exciting part of the movie. Bond appears un-nerved and continues the chase, but the camera cuts to Broccoli who, with a over-acted puzzled expression on her face, shouts after him "Don't I know you from somewhere?" and then winks at the camera as a few brassy notes from the James Bond theme play as she does.


I wish that Bond dispatches one of the villains in 'Skyfall' in true BOND style with flair and a quippy line to go with it.

[The Dove]

Granted...but it turns out to be a real groaner of a pun type quip..something like Bond ends up pushing a baddie off a roof in the same manner as when Fields knocked Elvis down the stairs in Quantum and says something like "Have a nice trip!"

I wish... Danny Kleinmann returns to do the title sequence for "Skyfall".

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! The whole title sequence is based on the upside down skyline of London at night. For 3 and half minutes, the skyline drops down (like Tetris blocks) past the fade in/fade out titles in the middle of the screen and form the skyline again at the bottom of the screen...so London ends upside down. No naked women or guns or bullets or even Bond appear. And they hold back the title reveal until the skyline is upside down at the end.


I wish that London is going to feature as excitingly as it sounds in 'Skyfall' from all these pics and reports!

[Eric Stromberg]

Me too! I mean, Granted. However, the locations that make the final cut are meant to boost tourism, so we get to see 007 in all the achingly obvious tourist traps. You know, the London Eye, Picadilly Circus, the wax museum, McDonald's...

I wish Bond was a little more metrosexual and more in touch with his feelings.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Granted; he starts wearing pink ties again, and becomes the laughingstock of the entire Service.


I wish I could get over this damned cold a bit quicker.

[glidrose]

I wish Bond was a little more metrosexual and more in touch with his feelings.

Granted. Pierce Brosnan is cast as the next Bond.

Damn. Mr Blofeld beat me by four minutes.

I wish I could get over this damned cold a bit quicker.

Granted. But your posting time to CBn becomes slower by five minutes.


Two wishes. Both about Kenneth Williams of "Carry On" fame. I wish his nostrils weren't so cavernous. And I wish he didn't look like John Updike.

Edited by glidrose, 15 February 2012 - 01:46 AM.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Granted; he now looks like Michael Kenneth Williams -- a.k.a., Omar from The Wire. You are devastated. :-P


I wish I felt a little more lively.

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! You are contracted by law in providing massages to a local performing circus dwarf troupe called 'The Little-Moore-Livley Dancers', and you get to do this for their 31 day tour.

I wish that Bond does that un-British fighting move and headbutt someone during a heated fight in 'Skyfall', like the old days of Trevelyan vs Bond in 'GoldenEye'!

[Eric Stromberg]

Granted, but 007 headbutts M in a fight over milk for the tea, and the whole movie spirals out of control when Bond is brought up on charges for assualt.

I wish Eva Green would get out of my dreams and into my car...

[AMC Hornet]

Granted, but she takes the driver's seat, won't let you drive or give directions, drives agressively and badly and generally exhibits all those symptoms of the mannish, 'prickly demeanour' that keep her from being accepted by her male colleagues or - ultimately - you. You regretfully stop obsessing over her and start obsessing over Grace Jones instead, imagining that she might not really be as butch as she appeared in AVTAK, perpetuating a never-ending cycle of self-inflicted unfulfillable prophesies.

I take that last part back - I wouldn't wish grace Jones on anybody.

I wish more people would visit 'the nicknames game' in the games forum here at CBn.

Edited by AMC Hornet, 15 February 2012 - 11:03 PM.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Granted, but now they ONLY visit ;the nicknames game' and don't post anywhere else!

I wish I could read the minds of women

[Eric Stromberg]

Granted. But this insight into the female mind obviously drives you completely insane as a man, and you can only sit in your straight jacket sipping librium cocktails and watching all of Roger Moore's movies over and over and over...

I wish Nick Nack would come and be head butler at my house.

Edited by Eric Stromberg, 16 February 2012 - 02:16 AM.

[The Dove]

Granted...but he forgets to stock up on tobassco sauce so that the next time you fancy oysters with your Black Velvet, there isn't any. Nick Nack is then fired..

I wish that I was rich enough to buy Largo's Palmyra home from Thunderball.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Granted, but it's susceptible to flooding

I wish I had something to do this weekend

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! You have to keep a journal of every CBN forum members wish list on this thread, in memeber name, and the results of that wish to create into a witty book to publish in the future about James Bond fans.

I wish, well why not, they would bring out some 50th Anniversary James Bond chocolate bars!

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Granted, but they taste awful

I wish my sister would cheer up

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! She takes to posting random, rude and pointless posts on your CBN log-in on the forum over most threads...resulting in your ban and removal from all future James Bond forum sites.


I wish I was James Bond, just for the day. Kissing all the girls and blowing the bad guys away!

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Granted, but then Scouting For Girls sue you, claiming that they had the idea first

I wish I had a smartphone

[thecasinoroyale]

(Nice...)


Granted! It's the latest Japanese model, due for release here in 2014, but it's that smart, it's all still in the native tongue and you can't even find where the power button is.


I wish that we get a teaser trailer for 'Skyfall' in March.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Granted, but it's only 007 seconds long!

I wish I had a better understanding of poetry

[The Dove]

Granted..but the downside is that you become such a fan and student of poetry that you develop an uncontrolable habit of translating all the dialogue from the Bond films into iambic pentameter..

I wish that as part of the 50th anniversary McDonalds would start offering Bond related toys in their Happy Meals and that various cereals like Rice Krispies would also have specially marked boxes with a Bond knick-nack (pardon the pun..) included.

[AMC Hornet]

Granted, but Kellogs misses your bit about the pun and each box contains a small chunk of Herve Villechaize's dessicated cadaver.

I wish I could grant Conlazmoodalbrocra' wish and teach him - along with a classroom full of others - a better understanding of poetry (teaching jobs are still scarce in my region).

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted...but it's to a class full of pensioners who are more interested in the works of Bobby Vee and Chubby Checker than actual classic poety, but as their Music History class was full, you've had to take them on to compensate.

I wish that one day I could reach my dream and become an actor on stage or screen!

[The Dove]

Granted..but you unfortunately make several bad decisions in choosing your roles which lead to a series of box office flops..your career takes a severe nosedive until you get cast as a background extra, "Waiter Number 4" in a Bond film.

I wish that there HADN'T been the six year absence of the Bond franchise between 1989 and 1995 and that Timothy Dalton had been able to do a third film.

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! Entitled "Die Another Day" and made in 1992, Timothy Dalton is back as Bond in an original story that sees him going up against a crazed Britigh army general who wants to split the world in two with a giant laser beam from outerspace. The girl of choice is Rebecca de Mornay, and the villain is played by Rowan Atkinson at the height of his 'Mr.Bean' career. The film is the lowest grossing Bond film to date...and they announce a sequel direct to the film called 'GoldenEye' due in 1995. Timothy Dalton quits as Bond due to the bad press, and Jeremy Irons is cast as 007 in future films.


I wish that 'Die Another Day' hadn't been so embarrasing for a James Bond 40th anniversay film, and Brosnan's finale.

[glidrose]

Granted. You now like the film. And Brosnan's final film is "Die Another Day part deux".

I wish Peter Hunt had edited DAF, LALD, FYEO and TLD.

Please, whoever answers this give it proper thought.
