Granted. But all the media makes a fuzz saying "this is a reference to Tomorrow Never Dies."

I wish I could read every female uni partners' mind so I can know which one is on to me and which one isn't.

Granted, none of them fancy you.

I wish I wasn't an insomniac.

Granted - you sleep from October 2012 to April 2013 - right through Skyfall's first and second run, and you only get to see it on DVD.

Meanwhile, I wish I wasn't tired all the time.

Granted...you decide to undergo the same DNA replacement therapy which Gen Moon/Gustav Graves has in Die Another Day...as an unfortunate side effect, the insomnia is permanent for you!

I wish that I would have been able to attend my friend's 40th birthday in New Orleans instead of having to been stuck at work last week..would have been great to see her and also try and see some of the various Live and Let Die locations..

Granted: you even get to witness a jazz funeral procession - or half of one, anyway, as a short man with a mouthful of gold teeth sidles up next to you...

I wish I could get more teaching work.

I whish I'd done better in my Psychology test!

I wish I knew what to wish for. I'm better at spiting other people's wishes then knowing what to wish for myself. What does that say about me?

Granted...you finally come up with a relavant wish but unfortunately it slips your mind the minute you log-in to CBN to add it to this game thread..

I wish that EON surprise us Bond fans and decide to make the theme song for "Skyfall" an instrumental...we haven't had one since OHMSS, so I think it would be nice to have an instrumental again..

Granted, but the tune is so catchy that you go bananas thinking up possible lyrics for it, and you have to be institutionalized and de-programmed of your 007 obsession. Thinking you're cured, you see B24 on video - which also has an instrumental theme song - and the cycle starts over again.

I wish I could have my curiosity regarding Skyfall satisfied, without being exposed to any disappointing or detail-revealing spoilers.

Granted, you score and your team wins 5-2, but your family has made a bet with the rival team: If you lose, they'll recieve a lot of money. Now you've won, and they lost the bet.

I wish Skyfall would have been premiered in 2010 or 2011 because those years I had nothing to do and now I'm working and studying!

Granted, but they couldn't get the big names like Mendes, Deakins, Fiennes, Bardem or Finney to do the film because they were all busy

I wish I could handle my drink better

Granted! You now use two hands to hold your glasses, bottles and cans rather than just one so you really now can handle the drink better!


I wish that it was easier to make wishes in life.

I wish I could build a Delorean time machine like in Back To The Future and travel ahead RIGHT NOW to Nov. 9th, 2012, the opening day for Skyfall for us USA Bond fans.

I wish more members would play this game more frequently.

I wish the time of getting in the cinema, just when the lights start to get low.... the lion starts roaring.... the Columbia lady appears... and....... dah-dah...dum! dah-dah...dum! THE GUNBARREL dots appear could come very, very soon!

Granted, but the occasion is a re-issuing of AVTAK with additional footage - not of Bond being sprung from the Paris jail, but of Tanya Roberts shrieking "James!" at every opportunity.

I wish the spoiler mill would wind down so that there'll be some surprises left when Skyfall does open.

Granted...the spoiler mill does pretty much wind down from here on but the remaining surprises which Skyfall brings are so utterly rediculous (I'll leave it up to your imagination as to what they are) that many fans, both Bond fanatics and casual fans alike are devistated by the final product. The producers quickly scrounge up the cast and crew for re-writes and re-shoots so that an alternative version of Skyfall will be included with the crappy theatrical edition when the DVD is released..

I wish that the Skyfall teaser poster and/or trailer were to be released by the time I count to three and snap my fingers *one....two...THREE!! *snaps fingers*

Granted: three minutes of slow black & white fade-in as the gun barrel gradually becomes discernable, then a distant obscure figure trudges inexorably into view until we - or rather, those few left with no clue - recognize Craig. Finally the title fades in with a muted cue from the CR choral JB theme.

I wish for no more spoilers between Monday's trailer release and Oct. 26th.

Granted! You become so edgy about every post and thread on CBn that you have a breakdown, spout abuse at us posters, tell us we're all Bond sadists and we don't care! That we are the ones who pushed Brosnan out of the role! We caused the 6 year halt between 'Licence To Kill' and 'GoldenEye' and we support craigisnotbond.com, and then you delete your account and avoid reading the Internet for a whole 5 months..going slowly insane in the process and you end up locked away for your own sanity and the safety of fellow Bond fans...and you miss 'Skyfall' altogether.


I wish that we hear the James Bond theme in this 'Skyfall' teaser...just enough to get the fire stoked for the return of 007!

Aren't you?

As for the Bond theme:

Granted, but it's Moby's or Oakenfold's version, right down to Pierce saying "Bond...James Bond," which confuses the hell out of everyone. Between the uninformed who - assuming that Brosnan is back - boycott the movie, and those supporting his return being so disappointed that they demand their money back, ticket sales are affected, Skyfall tanks and production of Bond 24 is postponed indefinitely...

What am I saying?

I wish for a pleasantly eventful summer to keep my mind off Skyfall until Oct. 26.

Granted. WWIII begins and you're drafted to single-handedly fight it.

I don't know what to wish for so someone take my place.
