I'm thinking taupe, but it might be too controversial for the fans.

Nah. If he wore a silver tie he'd look like he'd just came back from a 70's Disco night.

What an interesting thread. B)

Are you kidding? Do you want us to go back to the CGI tie days of the Brosnan era? You prefer the eyebrow-raising ties of the Moore era?

It's a different time now - we have dark, Fleming-esque ties in the Craig era. Kick-arrrrse ties that mean business with no comedy quips. No steel-toothed, hover gondola inspiring, pigeon double-taking, Tarzan yelling, clown-make-up ties here mate!!

It's the 3rd henchman we're talking about. The one Bond spears with a fake swordfish after the ice cream van chase.

Hmm, perhaps I need to reread Peter Morgan's script, but I understood that the third henchman was the one Bond fought on top of the golf cart in that breathtaking high speed 7 mph chase.

Are you trying to be sarcastic or something, mate? This is Bond we're talking about. The third henchman's tie color is the base of the house of cards. If they don't get that right, then it all collapses. Craig can give the performance of a lifetime, but the audience will have already walked out, knowing that EON have insulted them with an inappropriate tie.

Ah, I was reading Purvis & Wade's original draft, sorry. Does Morgan retain the dinner sequence involving M, Q and Q's robot dog "RoboMutt"?

Well first off he should wear a Ascot.
Secondly without a doubt the color should be Mint!

RoboMutt is still in the script, though he no longer fights the double taking pigeon, and now only appears as Jaws' sidekick in the twist scene where Bond, who if you remember is still undercover as an Indian Shaman, discovers the villain is the ghost of Max Zorin. Believe me when I say that Morgan has obviously studied the books, and this draft is strsight out of Fleming.

Wait, they replaced the Lollipop Man with Jaws? Dammit, I wanted to see the old guy in action, karate-chops and all!

They spend $110M on creating RoboMutt and he only appears in the twist scene? What is going on? Have the producers gone mad? Now you'll be telling me that the scene where Bond talks to a papier-mache model of Vesper for over 5 minutes has been cut?

They better not have! That scene was screaming Oscar nomination for Craig a mile away.

I don't think it's been cut; she's been replaced by a volleyball with some lipstick on it.

Hmm, it was only about 5 minutes in your version? It's since been slightly beefed up to a 45 page monologue from Bond, which will really peel back his layers. Rumor has it that Craig was unhappy with the model's overacting in this scene, and he stormed off into his trailer.

And where've you been, Dave? I presume you must have missed the news that RoboMutt is mostly being saved for the spinoff movie that will feature him alongside Jinx, Elvis, that bloke who keeps seeing Bond then looking at his bottle, and Sanchez's gecko, all as a super elite crime fighting team.

Yes but they are making $105M back in product placement for RoboMutt.

That was when Lee Tamahori was involved in directing the film. I understand he left the Bond 23 project over disagreements with the producers as to the color of Daniel Craig's underwear.

I totally missed that. I have just researched it on wikipedia. It's all true. I can't believe the rumour that Sanchez's gecko expects to be paid more than the rest.

Shame. Does that mean they've cut the fight while free-falling from the Eiffel Tower as well? I was looking forward that, dodgy CGI and all.
