Anyone else getting that feeling of being a kid on Christmas Eve right about now?

I have the feeling of falling flat on my face due to being dead tired. And there's less than twelve hours to go...

 

It's as if time slowed down in the last hour and I got more tired.

I'm a bit fed up with the media calling Bond 24 "the sequel to Skyfall". In the first place, sequels tend to take up where the predecessor left off, but for the life of me I can't see where the link will be between the last Bond and the next. Unless there's something we don't know about which will become apparent tomorrow.

 

(You might as well call Bond 24 the 23rd sequel to Dr No, or the third sequel to Casino Royale 2006, if that's possible.)

 

On the musical front, Charles Trenet is playing loud and clear but The Animals aren't coming in two by two over here, for some reason. Boom, boom!

Turned on the radio on the way to the gym only to hear the Bond theme playing and the announcer relaying the news that the title and cast of the new 007 movie will be announced tomorrow. Love this. Only happens once every few years which makes it all the more special.

Back in 2012, the day before Skyfall's North American release date, the radio in my gym played the Bond theme to coincide with the release. I thought it was great. Strangely comforting to listen to while lifting weights haha.

Guess that's confirmation of Bellucci then.

Yeah, pretty much. If she's the main Bond girl I'd be pretty excited.

Then where in Hell is my package under the tree shaped oddly like a bicycle?!?

It's a small thing, but I'm interested to see what Craig's hair is like. I haven't seen any pics of him since March this year, when he still had the SkyFall 'do.

 

Hopefully it'll be longer this time...

It's been all over the map this year. Longer, shorter. If it's anything like his hair was in September (which was a ways back), it'll be short, but a bit longer on top than it was in Skyfall.

 

 

Cheers, Harmsway (actually not a bad suggestion for the title...), that's encouraging. I'm so excited for the announcement, only 10.5 hours to go!

I'm planning a big 007 weekend so this announcement is a nice way to start off. Watching Goldfinger,Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, and Diamonds Are Forever plus I'm dusting off my N64 for some Goldeneye. Should be fun!

I take it there's no need to refresh browsers or anything with these live streams? The black screen simply becomes active?

Yes and no. Usually the browser and flash player becomes active for my sports subscriptions, but when I was watching E3, I had to refresh.

 

Always safe to go CTRL+R

I do wonder if it will be Risico, what with Rome as a major location.

Indeed. I think regular CBn posters will re-emerge now the wheels are well and truly in motion.

Little under five hours to go, everyone!

Just woke up from a 2 hour nap, so I'm thinking I'll be good to go!

I napped for about thirty minutes. Doing anything and everything I can to keep my brain functioning so I can stay awake.

Being afraid I'd sleep through it, I set 4 alarms! Haha. Then I promptly did a yoga workout, brewed a big pot of coffee and am now playing GoldenEye on N64 trying to beat my old speed runs.

I'll get my energy drink going and start some coffee. At least I'll be fine after that. Nothing like nodding off while your on your phone haha.

Until the announcement? I don't think so.
