I'd say the grappling hook watch in TWINE..

 

Which London venue do you think would be best for the premiere of SPECTRE..the traditional Odeon at Leicester Square, where numerous Bond films have been launched OR the Royal Albert Hall where Die Another Day and Skyfall had their premieres?

The Odeon

 

Better 007 debut:

 

Sean Connery in Dr. No

 

or

 

Daniel Craig in Casino Royale

 

?

That is really tough. Connery just pips Craig.

 

In Bond 25, they decide to film in just one location - which would you choose:-

 

Alaska

 

or

 

France

 

??

Alaska - France is fine, but doesn't really have much about it except the tower, which has been used before.


Will the 'Spectre' theme song be:

A fast paced song with a sense of danger and urgency to it

OR

A slow moody ballad with haunting lyrics and foreshadowing

??

I'm hoping for something fast paced with a sense of danger, which makes me hope the singer is NOT Sam Smith OR Ellie Goulding.

 

If SPECTRE turns out to be as successful as it appears its going to be, do you think Sam Mendes will again have a change of heart and come back to direct a 3rd Bond?  YES or NO?

NO (but I hope yes)

 

For Bond 25, they decide to film the movie:-

 

Entirely in black & white

 

or

 

In a non-linear chronology with lots of flash backs

Entirely in black & white. Could be interesting and less confusing!

 

 

Will we have a new 'Spectre' trailer before July is out?

 

YES - Maybe this week even

 

OR

 

NO - August will hit first

YES..obviously it's officially confirmed it'll be released tomorrow!!

 

 

The complaining and whining about there not being enough action in the 1st trailer...was it justified OR NO, just STFU and relax??

STFU and relax - every time people moan, those same people are full of gushing praise once the film hits. It's like they want the film in a 2min clip. Grrrr!

 

 

New 'SPECTRE' trailer -

 

Love it; Great mystery, great nods to the previous films, great action and great style

 

OR

 

Loathe it; Overall looks a very familiar story we've all seen before and nothing looks new

LOVE it!! I think we are in for a fantastic movie!

 

The re-appearance, after 30 years, of James Bond in the white tux.... Love it, hate it OR hmm..not sure yet?

Not TOO fussed, but certainly not against it  - so I love it!

 

 

The 'OHMSS' theme used in the 'SPECTRE' trailer:

 

A big hint this is veering to familiar territory with characters / plots / themes

 

OR

 

Just a musical tease for the big bad Blofeld on the way

Music tease - but great to hear!! Hope we also get the 007 Theme in the movie too or maybe that's too much to hope for!

 

SPECTRE trailer - what was best:-

 

The action scenes

 

or

 

The Bond girls

Tough choice - not much Bellucci but Seydoux is interesting me a great deal with how she's coming across. I go for the girls. Just.

 

The introduction of SPECTRE, the gadget-laiden Aston, the white tux, the train fight....what vibe do you get most from early Bond:

 

'Goldfinger'

 

OR

 

'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'

 

??

OHMSS

 

What do you think about the fact that this looks like it could be the most personal Bond ever with the villain being the author of "all of Bond's pain"?

 

Great - I like it when Bond is really mad

 

or

 

Boring - we've seen this all before

GREAT...(I, for one am not bothered at all by it..after all Bond films have had 007 getting "personal" dating back to OHMSS..i.e. he goes against M's orders and teams up with Draco to attack Piz Gloria.. Daniel Craig can certainly pull this off way better than Lazenby, Connery in DAF, Moore, tipping Blofeld down the chimney in FYEO or Brosnan in DAD.. Dalton was good at it too in LTK..As one of Felix's lovely agents said inTLD.. "Just sit back and enjoy the ride!")

 

So..now with the new trailer out, what will be the next special SPECTRE treat we get...a new teaser poster, a new videoblog OR the title singer announcement?

I bet a new poster....before the song. We've not had much visual marketing yet.


From what we've seen of the trailer, is 'Spectre looking to be....

Another homage movie to classic Bond's before

OR

A more iconic Bond film that Craig finally gets to be in

There have been little homages throughout this production, but I will say that we will get a more iconic Bond film that Craig finally gets to be in.

 

Better 007 debut:

 

George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service

 

or

 

Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye

 

?

'AVTAK' - at least he tries to blend in!

 

 

Gut instinct - is Oberhauser the main villain in 'SPECTRE'

 

YES - He's the bad guy, he's the man pulling the strings

 

OR

 

NO - He is simply working for another, and that will be revealed in the film

Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights

Ooh good one. I will go for, by a percentage, Roger Moore in 'Live And Let Die' - just had an edge to it.

 

 

Better 2nd film from a Bond actor:

 

Sean Connery and 'From Russia With Love'

 

OR

 

Timothy Dalton and 'Licence To Kill'

 

??

Dalton's terrific but I gotta pick Connery in FRWL.

 

Better Bond, Countess and thugs on the beach action scene:

 

Bond, Tracy and Draco's thugs in OHMSS

 

 

or

 

Bond, Lisl and Kristatos' thugs in FYEO

 

?

I go with 'FYEO' - the fighting and music doesn't look and sound so awfully dramatic.

 

 

Best 3rd Bond from an actor:

 

Roger Moore in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

 

OR

 

Daniel Craig in 'Skyfall'

 

??

Timothy Dalton as Bond and Jill St. John as Paris McKenna Carver in TND

 

or

 

 Daniel Craig as Bond and Lana Wood as Christmas Jones in TWINE?

Roger Moore in 70s 'Live And Let Die'

 

OR

 

Pierce Brosnan in 90s 'GoldenEye'

I'd say Brosnan in Goldeneye in the '90s...

 

Mix and match Bond soundtrack cues with Bond actors..."Assassin and Drugged" from TLD with Daniel Craig's 007, "Flight Into Space" from MR for Pierce Brosnan's 007 OR "Night At The Opera" from QoS for Sean Connery's 007??

Miss Taro

"You had no authority. None."- M

"It was me, James. The author of all your pain." - Oberhauser
