For those of you interested in the legal information about the James Bond films, you should definitely check out The Man With the Golden Touch: How The Bond Films Conquered the World by Sinclair McKay. It explains the production of all the films up to Quantum of Solace. It's an interesting read and I haven't finished it yet, but it talks about the success of the films and why some were not as successful as others and what was happening in the world during the time of production. I'm sure for those of you that know about it, it's old news, but you learn something new in it and this guy is really good with details and the information. I recommend you pick it up when you have a chance!

There's already a thread for this: http://debrief.comma..._1#entry1104259

Also, McKay is not as good with the facts as you might think...

Okay, well I didn't have a chance to search for it. And also, I didn't say he was perfect.
