again, 4 is a minimum, but I can extend the order if there is more interest...

Same rules as the chase game - add a point and subtract a point. Can vote twice per day (but not twice in a row).

This game includes each main bond girl from the official 22 007 flicks.

The list of contenders:

Honey Rider [10]
Tatiana Romanova [10]
Pussy Galore [10]
Domino Derval [10]

Happy voting!

I've read that he wears the blue lens model, but in every picture/snapshot from the movie, the lenses appear to be a dark gray almost black lens.

Can anyone with these sunglasses with the blue lenses post some real life pictures of themselves wearing these? I want to get a good sense of what they look like in real life.

The reason I'm asking is because I want to buy a pair, but undecided whether to go with blue lens or gray lens model.

Thanks in advance.

After having a male singer in CR and a male/female duo in QoS, perhaps they should go back to a ballad sung by a woman?
Bond 23 is rumoured to be more traditional, so why not? Or possibly go in the other direction a and use something instrumental?

Pixie Lott caught my eye before she caught my ear. Being an avid FHM reader I eventually read the words next to the pictures and found out she was compared to Duffy and Amy Winehouse, two artists I like and believe have a bondian style.

If you have a pet peeve, I encourage you to share, you may feel better.

Yesterday, I had a Johnnie Walker Black Label and a delicious Amaretto sour at the Sofitel Montreal. Very nice evening, because I also had blue cheese.

I have just purchased a few of the soundtracks on CD. I have never owned a soundtrack of a Bond film before (I like to listen with pictures) but I have found them strangely listenable. I actually thought they would be quite dull.

I only have 5 (YOLT, DAF, LALD, TSWLM, MR) but its a good selection. I was particularly impressed with the DAF soundtrack, which really brought back memories of watching the film. Its a quirky film and Barry matches his music to this so well. Even the bits that annoy me when I watch the film (like the moonbuggy chase) sound fresh and fun on the cd. The extra tracks are good too (e.g. Airport - On the road - Slumber Inc)

By contrast YOLT, an ost I really enjoy on screen, felt a bit flat. Although the space capsule music is haunting it occurs too often and the Japanese jingles are too prominent, while in the film they seem to rest in the background more. The extra tracks don't help much here because they emphasise the repetitions.

Well, anyway, there you go.

Bond: Daniel Craig
M: Judi Dench
Q: Peter Capaldi
Miss Moneypenny: Saffron Burrows
Bond Girl:????????
Felix: Jeffrey Wright
Villain: Terence Stamp, Djimon Hounsou
Theme Song: Leona lewis (if Winehouse is not up to it)
Locations: New york, Cuba, Mexico, Dubai, parts of troubled Africa Zimbabwe, Uganda?
Name: Property of a Lady, Nobody Lives Forever, Risico

Since just finishing reading diamonds are forever, i really like the idea of a story starting somewhere like zimbabwe streatching across and down the Americas.

What do u think?

My Personal Favourite is TWINE's Gunbarrel, the music in it was really espionage type.

http://oscarjade.com/index.html

...which is intended as the first step in promoting Blood & Ashes, the debut novel for Oscar Jade, whom I hope will feature in several more... 

It's a very basic site thus far---I hope to upgrade it soon, and will definitely do so early in 2010 when the book shows up on Amazon.com, etc...but in the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to put some vintage 1940s music on the site...have a guest book, etc...

Anyway, thanks for looking!

it's been torturous, and to say the least, frustrating....

but after nearly 5 weeks of old one-two between me, Simon, and the supplier, we've gotten them to agree to make a (large) batch of the material...

500m to be precise...

this is the absolute minimum they would make, and at the minor cost of £8.50pm!....so we need £4250/us$8500 for the material alone.

believe it or not this is a result, compared to the original bargaining position...
so now we need to go back to the beginning and find out how many people will stump up hard cash to secure this once in a lifetime (and probably once worn, at least as soon as the misses sees u in it!) iconic screen item.
To cushion the financial blow, we had envisioned a few of us "funding" the escapade, paying many times that which others would be prepared to pay, such that we can get the average down for the bulk of the orders.
We had been targeting around the £225/us$450 mark, including having the shirt made by the very same shirt makers that cut and created DC's own shirts.

This was calculated based upon two of us paying £500/$1000 each, and the remaining say 25ish members buying a shirt (or fewer buying multiple shirts) for approx $450 including the cost of making the shirt.

What price would you pay for this authentic shirt (Simon has located the actual company who made the original, and this would add another £90/$180 onto the cost of the fabric) made to measure to exactly fit your own DC-torso....

Clearly, the more that join, the lower the average cost of each shirt. Similarly, those who like myself are desperate for the shirt, can pay more to help drive the average cost down and secure success...

Also, there is no limit to the number of shirts you can buy; maybe one in your own size, and one in the exact size worn by DC?...

Remember, the more shirts purchased, the more the average cost comes down for everyone.

Also, in view of the cost of the material, I doubt there will ever be any other shirts made. These will be truely unique, and can be heavily personalised.

how does this sound?....we need to know definitely asap....and a deposit will need to be made up front.

finally, THIS IS A NON-PROFIT ENDEAVOUR.
indeed, some of us will be substantially out of pocket. But as Mantis said recently, this is a sickness...

Here is a list of those who expressed an interest on the original thread;

so 20+ "interest-eds"...

It would be fantastic if all remained interested at the indicated average price, but if some can only commit to a lower price, please indicate in your reply. Rememember, the average price will only be determined when we know how many are committed.

From "Octopussy" - knives, spider and leaches....The cut-down knife was one that either pinned Bond to the barn door or would have stuck out of a clowns back!
