Who says SKYFALL is an action movie? You could make the case for it being a thirller.

[Germanlady]

If anything is certain, Bond will get more then its fair share of promo this year due to the anniversary..

Rory Kinnear is Bill Tanner in Bill Tanner's Skyfall

[Mr. Blofeld]

Love that pic of Mendes; half-expect him to start shouting random Britishisms in an Estuary accent: "Allo, 'Allo, dearie! Mothers do 'ave 'em! Pip-pip, cheerio, Emmerdale Farm!" :-D

[Matt_13]

I'm so happy Kinnear is back.

[British Chap]

A Good Day to Die Hard isn't coming out this year....

[Matt_13]

I'm guessing there will be a full Bond themed issue at some point.

people don´t get disappointed only by broken promises, they get disappointed over broken expectations, which is another matter entirely. You see, expectations aren´t anchored necessarily in induction by others. They brew out of one´s wishes.

In that case, people are just being unfair - they've convinced themselves that somebody is going to do something, and when that doesn't happen, they attack that somebody when that somebody hasn't done anything wrong.

Such is life mon ami. Intricate, complex, and ultimatly, a bit unfair. Awareness is the aim. I´m aware of my unfounded expectations as a fan, so I don´t actually blame anyone else but me for the illusion. Not even Mr. Page, who undoubtedly has valid intell. And even better, if you are aware of all this, then you´re not afraid to up your expectations at all, being, of course, aware of all possible results and feelings that arise, such as disappointment. Cognizance my dear friend, cognizance.

Right on, univex! You hit that nail right on the sweet-spot.

Though there'll often be things which seem unfair in life, we can still do something about it within ourselves. Just as we can look back to times in our lives when we behaved poorly or thought very differently, and now recognise that, we can use all these little windows to help us understand how to realise fuller perceptions of the world/people or why another person may behave the same way. I find the more I recognise these things and logically consider the reasons, the more I find I like people and don't get angry, even when they are rude or in strong dissagreement with me etc.

On this life chat, I agree wholeheartedly. Although, when it comes to your aspirations, you should always aspire to the things that can be done. Things will go your way if your willing to put time into it. Life is a greedy bastard like that; you want something good, well prepare to make a lovely exchange of your time. Remember there's no such thing as a free lunch. I think it's silly to expect something purely based on a guess.

OOOoooohh!!! Looks like a satellite to me.

[The Dove]

SWEET! Looks cool..

[007jamesbond]

I cant tell what is it.........

[Matt_13]

What does 100mm mean? Does that mean it's an extreme close-up?

[The Shark]

Those figures - 366.354.56 to the left and 390.363.50 to the right - those aren't coordinates. Anyone know what they are?

[PPK_19]

Nice one Luigi.

Shame the picture is useless. Might as well have scribbled on a piece of paper, it tells us nothing.

[Royal Dalton]

Some kind of satellite image, presumably.

It looks like that could be an aeroplane, or a satellite, in the corner of the section at the bottom left of the clapperboard.

[DominicGreene]

100mm just refers to the focal length. I'm assuming they're using prime lens, but they might be using it... for well, anything really. Just nothing wide. It gives you a more true to real life perspective than a 32mm for example.

[Shrublands]

Well not quite.

It means that they are using a telephoto lens. And it’s by far the narrowest lens they’ve shown us so far.
Explained simply: A 50mm is roughly what the human eye sees, every mm below that takes the image wider and wider. Every mm above takes it narrower, but closer onto an object from a distance.

[Royal Dalton]

I think it's a live infrared satellite image of another satellite in space and they're zooming in on it (the big disc-shaped thing).

[Skudor]

Are the numbers IP addresses? I'm thinking this is some sort of screensaver before the start of a broadcast. Something like that.

I agree with that, although, 100mm is barely telephoto. It depends on what you are shooting. They aren't using "zoom" lens, so they must be shooting something that's probably a little bit away from them, but not too much that they would need anything more.

I agree with that, although, 100mm is barely telephoto. It depends on what you are shooting. They aren't using "zoom" lens, so they are stuck with 100mm distance in the shot. They must be shooting something that's probably a little bit away from them, but not too much that they would need anything more.

[Skudor]

It says something like "Feed M Locked" in the bottom corner.

Feed M and lock the cat flap?

[Royal Dalton]

Her (or his) secure satellite feed at MI6, I should think. This is another video wall scene by the look of it.

Yep. That's what it looks like.

[Pussfeller]

Ahh yes, the obligatory glossy and high-tech MI6 scene to dazzle the rubes. I miss the days when M's office was a museum of underpaid British cunning and stodgy gemutlichkeit, rather than the engine room on the USS Bond.

Amen.

Maybe a return the the screens-behind-wail-panelling shtick from MR, AVTAK and GE? I liked that.

Ditto. Nowadays its actually best if they never show MI6 HQ rather than show us all the OTT hi tech gadgetry.
