Granted...but Craig's successor sees the return to the over-campness and borderline uber cheesiness that was found in Octopussy and A View To A Kill.. As a result due to the abundence of groan-worthy Roger-esque puns and Superman-type villains, 007 #7's reign only lasts for two films before he is forced to leave the role and the momentum of the Bond series is halted for 7 years while revamps for the series are developed.

 

 

I wish that at worst, the latest we'll get to see Bond 24 in theaters is 2015..

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, but then Bond 26 is delayed until 2025.

 

I wish Pitt and Belmont both won, thereby keeping my bracket perfect.

[The Dove]

(Hah..my bracket was screwed up the minute Georgetown got bumped by Florida Gulf Coast..I still got Duke vs Syracuse in the final, with Duke winning it all..we'll see)

 

Granted...Pitt and Belmont both won but every other team you had picked at the time does NOT win...

 

 

I wish that there was some sort of NCAA bracket thing for the Bond series...it'd be interesting to see who would come out on top.

[seawolfnyy]

(Mine too, I had Georgetown....and Gonzaga *rolls eyes* in the final four with IU defeating Mich St in the final)

 

Granted, the winner is Never Say Never Again.

 

 

I wish Per Fine Ounce would be found and released in its entirety.

[AMC Hornet]

Granted - you order a copy in advance from Amazon for $49.95, and when it comes, it's entirety consists of the original one-page treatment. Frame it and hang it on your wall.

 

I wish Factory Entertainment would make a scale model of the diamond laser satellite from DAF.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted but they use real diamonds making it cost hundreds of thousands or even million$.

 

I wish I could pick up and move to London and open a James Bond 007 store. 

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, except its a James Bond Jr. store and it fizzles and dies. You lose all your money, your apartment, car etc. You are now stuck in London, homeless with no way home.

 

 

I wish this bi-polar weather would actually decide on something and stick with it.

[AMC Hornet]

Granted - you live in a polar deep-freeze for the rest of your life.

 

I wish for something interesting to do next week during spring break.

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, you will be extradited to Italy because they're whining about your acquittal for the murder of your roommate and want a do-over.

 

 

 

I wish IU wins the national championship this year.

[The Dove]

Granted...they win the NCAA tourney this year, but then two days later it's discovered half the team is declared ineligible due to academic grades..a major debacle ensues when trying to decide the proper runner to be awarded the National Championship.

 

 

I really wish the whole Elvis Dumervil / broken fax / letting him get away to the Baltimore Ravens fiasco doesn't affect my Broncos 2013 season too severely...

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, it affects all subsequent seasons.

 

 

 

I wish the Heat had gone on a 27 game losing instead of a winning streak.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted but then the team is relocated nearby you. 

 

I wish Bond 24 wasn't set for a 2016 release on IMDb, they should be more optimistic. 

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, its set for release tomorrow. It was filled on a cell phone and is 3 minutes long. It's all about Bond eating some bad Thai food and now fighting it out in the bathroom....

 

 

I wish I could fast forward to the end of the summer.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted but you miss out on hearing all those classic summer time songs like; 'Schools out for summer,' 'boys of summer' and 'summer of 69'. 

 

I wish we don't have to wait all summer for some Bond news. 

[seawolfnyy]

Granted but you miss out on hearing all those classic summer time songs like; 'Schools out for summer,' 'boys of summer' and 'summer of 69'. 

 

I wish we don't have to wait all summer for some Bond news. 

That's not a corruption. I have no problem missing out on those songs.

Granted, we get news tomorrow that Bond has been indefinitely delayed and no more info will be given out for at least 2 years.

 

I wish Ohio State would lose.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted they lose but they come back to win next season and the next 5 seasons.

 

I wish I don't need a bill box when I get old. 

[glidrose]

Granted. Though why you don't want Bill Box writing your comedy specials I'll never know.

 

I wish Margaret Thatcher could be the next M. (Yeah, I've read the headlines.)

[S K Y F A L L]

My mistake, I must have meant 'pill' box as in I wish I don't have to take medicine when I'm older. 

 

GRANTED EON buys her body and life rights, then use her like a puppet and the film is more like WEEKEND AT BERNIES then a Bond film. 

 

I wish I was one of those speed readers.

[glidrose]

Granted. You're now an Amphetamine addict.

 

I wish someone else would take my place and wish for something.

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, but the one who takes your place, wishes for you to retake your place and keeping wishing indefinitely.

 

 

I wish Peter Sellers hadn't died in 1980 and we got a proper ending to the Pink Panther series.

[glidrose]

Granted, but Sellers walks off the set of ''Romance of the Pink Panther'' and so Ted Wass takes his place.

 

I wish google books snippet view wasn't so miserly.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted google books makes the size overly large.

 

 

I wish I didn't sleep in today.

[Jose]

Granted. Now you'll sleep in tomorrow, causing you to miss some very important appointments.

 

I wish for nothing to stop me from going to see OHMSS tomorrow and by extension potentially meeting George Lazenby.

[MajorBoothroyd]

Granted, but when you get to the theater, the following things go wrong:

• The original print was lost by an EON intern; instead you get an atrocious home-made version of OHMSS
• George Lazenby decks you after noticing your Skyfall tee shirt when you do meet him
• After this, the theater bans you for life.

I wish Google didn't have so many services.

Edited by MajorBoothroyd, 16 April 2013 - 06:41 AM.

[The Dove]

Granted... Google cuts down it's services to just the single search box which allows you to type in what you want to search for, but clicking on the Search button does absolutely nothing as Google has taken away the actual ability to search for something.

 

 

I wish that whoever was responsible for yesterday's horrible, horrible bomb attack on the Boston marathon could meet their comeuppance in a manner that was used on one of the previous Bond villains..

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted Quantum gets to them before anyone and they're bodies are found in a boat like in CR but that would be the easy why out. 

 

I wish Bond 7 films their first 2 films back to back and come out a year after one another like Roger Moore's LALD (73) and TMWTGG (74).

[AMC Hornet]

Granted, but they're not as good as LALD & TMWTGG.

 

Take that however you like.

 

I wish there was a block that would prevent access to texting, Youtube and online gaming in schools, so that students would have no option but to concentrate on their bleedin' schoolwork.

[glidrose]

Granted, but when you get to the theater, the following things go wrong:

• The original print was lost by an EON intern; instead you get an atrocious home-made version of OHMSS

 
Prepared by me. Check out this brilliant thread if you haven't. 
 

I wish there was a block that would prevent access to texting, Youtube and online gaming in schools, so that students would have no option but to concentrate on their bleedin' schoolwork.

 
 
Granted. It's a cement block. You use it on all your students and - good news! - they stop texting. Bad news... they're all pushing daisies and you're sharing a cell with somebody named Bubba. Not sure why he calls you his sweet thing. Maybe 'cos your a Canuck and they're all terribly friendly? No? I give up.

I wish...

...it's considered classy to again say Timothy Dalton was no good as Bond and all the die hard fans do it, and not just casual viewers a la 1987-1995.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted everyone stars praising Pierce Brosnan's films and wishes he was cast in 1986.

 

I wish my wisdom teeth surgery goes well tomorrow. 

[MajorBoothroyd]

Granted, but an unintended side effect is that your IQ drops significantly...

 

I wish that Mark David Chapman had never killed John Lennon.
