Anyone else know how long this is on for? Loving it so far, although the trailer clip mixes are getting a bit annoying.

[PeteNeon]

Anyone's feed keep cutting out? One minute I hear something in stereo sound, next minute it plays again in mono.

[KM16]

Hey, they play SURRENDER now!

That was quite unexpected. lol And there's Dame Judi! Man, now that I think back on it, I'm really gonna miss her in the role of M.

And did Wilson really just pull up in a replica of the Goldmobile? LMAO Hysterical.

Listen pal. Just because you've been soaking up spoilers doesn't mean you need to throw them upon others.

I actually have been staying away from plot spoilers besides nuggets like the gunbarrel, so I was actually referring to when she retires seeing as she's old and going blind unless she's going to stick around until she kicks the bucket like Lee.

It was promoted as being on until 8pm, but I think it will all be wrapped up sooner than that.

Anyone else surprised that Adele's Skyfall theme was NOT featured in the background?? They just kept on looping A View To A Kill, The Living Daylights, You Know My Name, Thunderball, Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, and for some odd reason Another Way to Die and Die Another Day..

Thanks for clarifying, KM16! Good man. Enjoy the rest of the premiere.

I'm glad they are doing a quick run of the highlights! Anyone know how many are attending?

Who the hell are JLS?

Really? That's quite odd. It wouldn't make any sense for them not to play it.

In the spirit of the moderators´ tone of questions: what do we think of Daniel´s slicked back hair?

Very Bond. I hope he styles it that way for the next film.

Very weird, as they were playing it over the speakers when I walked past this afternoon.

Just noticed Dame Judi has a diamanté style temporary transfer on her neck of the 007 logo.

Maybe it was too dark and moody for such a high-spirited event? lol

A British band who were on the X Factor a few years ago. Compared to a lot of X Factor's acts, they're not bad. Not a fan, but I can stand hearing one of their songs without wanting to leave the room.

[PeteNeon]

Grrr, The Name's Bond... James Bond over and over, reminds me how much I don't like it now, since it has been quite overused since 2006. I wish we had a new full version for Skyfall.

Ah, and there's Skyfall.

Yep. Saving the most relevant for last, it would seem!

That was very cool. I've never watched a premiere in full, and this medium really does allow the entire world to feel like they're there. It also, of course, makes my 14-day wait all that much more infuriating.

[Harry Fawkes]

Thank you CommanderBond.net for this wonderful wonderful link to the event. Truly memorable for those like me who could not be there. Thank you so much.

[IcedCamaro]

Although it was indeed very cool, it would have been great to have all Bonds reunited for the 50th anniversary here.(never mind the rest I said here).

Recent prize giving what?

[IcedCamaro]

Hasn't there been a single ocassion in the last few weeks these people have gotten together in relation to the 50th year celebration? I could have sworn there was at least one event but if if that wasn't the case then I am even more surprised they didn't make an appearance here.

[NVT]

Was this over by 7:30?
All I can now see is the skyfall logo.

[MattofSteel]

It's replaying now.

[zencat]

Watching the live feed was a blast. I loved how so many people, including Craig and Mendes, cited a Roger Moore film as their first Bond experience. Mendes even said "I have a soft spot for Roger Moore." OHMSS even got a shout-out.

[Robinson]

Just noticed Dame Judi has a diamanté style temporary transfer on her neck of the 007 logo.

I caught that too. Maybe Dame Judi felt the need for some extra bling!

Colin Salmon was/is there.

[Twingolot]

Barbara Broccoli arriving in the silver Aston Martin...
... and hitting her head while climbing out of it.

I think it wasn't an Aston Martin but rather Cubby's Rolls we saw in AVTAK.

And thinking about Wilson arriving in Goldfinger's Rolls... it was Wilson's first appearance in a Bond movie.

[MattofSteel]

How long does this 'waiting' go in the replay before the actual stuff starts?

[MkB]

Is it just me, or the first 0 of the giant golden 007 sign is slightly more tilted thant the second?

[MattofSteel]

Question for those more intimately familiar with premiere procedure: do the majors meet up offsite nearby prior to the event, so they can stagger their entrances and get organized for the cameras and journos? Seems risky to approach it otherwise. Were I running it, I'd think mandating that would be prudent.

[The Dove]

In watching some of this again, I just happened to see Barbara Broccoli arrive at the premiere in a very familiar looking silver Rolls Royce...(A View to A Kill anyone??) More than likely it's Cubby's own Rolls which was used in AVTAK.. The license plate..."Cubb1" or something like that..Very cool!!

[MattofSteel]

Jesus. She calls him Tom Newton twice. Why didn't she just slap him in the face?

[stromberg]

Guess you guys all saw more than I did. Was a few minutes to late to get a decent place, but it was better than nothing.

But MGW and Judi Dench stopped right in front of me for half a minute. Was definitely the Goldfinger Rolls ("AU1" plate). So it was Barbara Broccoli in Cubby's Rolls? It came back for a second time, with Ralph Fiennes on board. Best arrival was Boris Becker: he and his wife came in a taxi. And Jeremy Clarkson came on foot, got in at the regular entrance

Colin Salmon got lots of cheers from the crowd, was pleased about that.

Most of it was indeed over by 7:30, then there was half an hour of waiting, until the red carpet was completely empty, and then, Prince Charles and Camilla arrived.
