Great news MBE.

Watch TNN closely, I have no promises, but I was interviewed by them at the BCW5 in San Francisco. The shot quite a bit of film with me and the Jag.

I hope this push by TNN reaps more PR for Bond.

Very cool that Pierce is in on it as well.

My dear Xen - flattery will get you everywhere! The producer of the segments assured me she would email me if I made the final cut.

There was one bit with a few "street racer" guys that should have been in TFATF. These three guys chatted me up on what kind of engine/power I had under the Jag's hood.

At the end of it, one said something to the effect of "So you wear the tux, drive the bad-*** wheels..what about the babes?"

I signaled Flicka who was standing just off camera and she immediately walked into my arms. I gave the boys a curious look and said "Where are yours?"

I hope to see that moment.

Here's another TV event:

There may be some promo spots before the movies start airing. I updated a thread recently about Brosnan on BRAVO Channel and the TONIGHT SHOW with Leno and Halle on LATE SHOW with Letterman. I also see that Brosnan and Halle are both scheduled to be on the TODAY SHOW on Tuesday November 4.

OOPS! Tuesday is November 5 not November 4. Sorry!

It will be interesting to have OHMSS playing the day before DAD opens. OHMSS was never a favourite with the casual fans. The movies are being played to promote DAD and people will be watching to see what all this "james bond fuss" is about. Now "we" know that OHMSS is a great film but will all those "other people" be as hooked on Bond to go and see the film?
