I think it's interesting how the Mission Impossible movies often came to adapt the 80s Carlsberg ads more than the show too (although fewer squirrels). They don't really do much of these acrobatics in the TV show- maybe the music and name 'Mission Impossible' just suggest it youtu.be/aY9GBl7UmVs?...
Oh yes, I've had a cream tea there, it was lovely. We stayed in the Signal Station, the big white building with 'signal station' written on it- it's gorgeous and also the windiest place I've ever been. Our cars were bouncing up and down outside!
Good point; there's a bit of From Russia With Love helicopter footage in Doctor Who story The Daemons too.
Funny thing is: it's actually not the shot from Goldfinger. It's a different take of the same scene (look out for the white car in front of the hotel- it's in Goldfinger but not in the b/w one) youtu.be/aNJ9kC7ymlI?...
Bit of trivia: when she appeared on the Morecambe and Wise show, Diana Rigg wore the dress she wears at the start of OHMSS
Who's who? Sid is Bond, surely. Jack Douglas as Q, showing Bond gadgets then -phway!!- firing them accidentally. I feel like Paul Litchfield might have thought of that. Kenneth as Dr No Trousers or similar.
Look up! Look down! Look out! Here comes the biggest Bond of all from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social! lalalandrecords.com/thunderball-...
Fair enough! I would say there's plenty of gags in Craig's films, played very well. Dalton is the one who displays more of an inability to play the gags and kills quite a few which are scripted
James Bond is the baddie in Man With the Golden Gun. Scaramanga is framed for trying to kill Bond, and wants to sell clean energy to the world: 007 turns up to murder him and steal the device the expert made whilst working for Scaramanga/Hai Fat
I would disagree
No car is going to grow a choke control on the dash if the automatic one stops working though. And they’re not that hard to work
#NowWatching INCEPTION (2010)
Does it seem like an emergency?
Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok
Watched it again a week ago; was puzzled why Kirk sacrifices himself to save the ship when everyone could have just got off and survived.
There's plenty else to watch on telly, there's no rush.
I feel like this 'fess might have something to do with that... x.com/fesshole/sta...
Yeah I can see how folks might think it looks like it's not going to be funny from that title sequence

So today I sold some books to Pierce Brosnan, which made up for working a Sunday. I NEARLY made it past the casual “how not to be awks around a celeb” thing when my colleague said “ooh, you look familiar?”. He said “Bob. James Bob. I’ve saved the world four times”. He is our new favourite
Funny, I watched it for the first time in years on the weekend, it really is poor
Twisted ankle on the way, there
“He's not going to sell much ice cream going at that speed is he?”
Broken Veil crosses my timeline a lot but there's rarely a mention of what it actually is. Will check this out, thanks.
seeing a lot of reviews for the new naked gun talk about how in the original lesley nielsen played the whole thing incredibly deadpan. he did not and that's ok.
This is a pretty great signing
Top stuff youtu.be/RyWLk_VunM4?...
Came here for this, you didn’t let me down!
(I think they’re kind of cool. Sorry)
It looks like a massive serrated knife on a military belt. Tool belts are rarely military green and webbing. These are unusual tools which look almost indistinguishable from large knives- I think the guy is being a bit obtuse. He did a very stupid thing and the police arguably took it too far.
So's this guy. Regardless, it still looks like a giant knife on a military belt.
I presume the sheath is what he's wearing in that photo in the article though: attached to his military-style olive drab webbing belt, and it would look like a massive knife. I think I'd probably call the fuzz too.
It's picked up some cracking replies over there already
I don't get what's supposed to be so weird about it
Ignoring the nonsense talk of it not being a real photo, what's supposed to be wrong with the copy?
I've always wondered how they did that: he seems perfectly in step with himself, plus the background doesn't change- it's really well-done
The Persuaders! is up on ITV's YouTube channel... youtu.be/Ca8LhyS9kEg
Yeah there's so little money about. I remember daytime quizzes used to have audiences; almost unimaginable now, let alone sketch shows
Look: it's the opening of SKYFALL but in its original IMAX ratio: not available on home media! youtu.be/KSszcJNgGvQ?...
It's not for me, but if it's anything like as successful as the films it'll bring loads of money into the country, so I hope it does well. It's mad how there aren't official Potter shops in London for the tourists.
Weirdly was talking about this last week and the only thing I remembered was Ellison talking about bins.
THE ROCKETEER PUNCHING THE SHIT OUT OF A NAZI AI
It's because he's so incredibly sexy. He has only to kiss a woman woman and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing.
Empire hates it too, which is a worry. They love everything.
I mean, I know they probably won’t have done it like this, but at the same time, I really hope they have. #Superman
I remember years ago a friend of mine announcing his days-long period of constipation was over by proudly stating 'The Hunt For Brown October is over'
Made me oddly emotional
Oh ‘shin’, thank you; I was staring at that one for a while.
A very cool pool for the summer www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/fea...
I don't remember Mr O'Brien being quite like that
It's also hard not to get annoyed by this Jyn Erso person coming in, making naff speeches and getting in the way of all the good characters
I just watched Thunderball, it looks lovely and bright and summery
Bond music now has all the time in the world as @lalalandrecords.bsky.social announce a 2-disc dive into the cues and curios of the OHMSS score! Tighten that kilt and ski at speed to the record store in the wintry village below! lalalandrecords.com/on-her-majes... #OHMSS #JohnBarry #JamesBond
John Barry's score to the James Bond film Goldfinger is available on vinyl now from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social. The art direction is by @heyjimtitus.bsky.social with audio restoration by @malonedigital.bsky.social and mastering by @dougschwartz.bsky.social. lalalandrecords.com/goldfinger-t...
It’s hard to know who’s going to play the new James Bond, but there’s no doubt the theme song will be by Raye, right?
Franz Ferdinand feat. Peter Capaldi - Take Me Out
Still holding out for a true to the books Bond eg a racist chainsmoking speed freak who is obsessed with eggs
Is that Annette Badland off Bergerac?
Was about to do exactly this gag and just thought I’d better check Robbie hadn’t done it first!
I was making breakfast and cracked an egg into the sink

THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT with @tobyhadoke.bsky.social shows.acast.com/smershpod/ep...
For added Smersh factor, Val Guest was also one of the directors of Casino Royale '67
The first one is ace
Maybe a plot about the world's greatest assassin should have been about an actual assassination?
Tom Cruise on top of the BFI IMAX in London.
Do the colours mean something? I had no idea
Same
I'm excited for this, on Sky Max tonight
I genuinely had the same thought: her as Mon Mothma at a series of endless parties where she's being a genial hostess whilst having furtive conversations out of the side of her mouth to fellow conspirators
Very pleasing
The recent CD release of "Goldfinger" from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social includes the mono single version of the title song. I go into detail about how we put it together for the release.
He's even dusted off the '1964, Putney High St, bogs of Ireland' anecdote. A classic.
Early development boards for INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY. Indy escaping the Plaza Hotel in NYC.
Looking through an old folder. Here are some very early keyframes for INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY.
It was running in the same slot last year- you can go back to the same week this time last year and everything is down from then, and from the year before
That's true of all programmes though that some didn't return: the Apprentice is about half a million down on last year too and still topping the chart. Ratings are just going down in general
You can watch it change colour and back again here youtu.be/7UoVH8VNKTI?...
Was watching Mission Impossible: Fallout last night and enjoyed one of my favourite random things in a movie, when Simon Pegg's jacket magically changes colour between shots.. just because! It even changes back again when he drops his disguise
Just found out it was released on the day I was born.
The pizza/scissors art is wonderful

There's plenty of Bank Holiday Bond on BBC Sounds, including a new dramatisation of Casino Royale: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
He is risen
It was an inspiration for me too! 😀 bsky.app/profile/mark...
I got to design the sets for the Doctor Who Escape Room feature on the DW Blu Rays, and I tried to include as many Peter Evans bits and pallets as I could!
You can still decorate your own home in it if you like, page 58 www.peterevansstudios.co.uk/scenic-embel...
Ah thank you! Sorry to hear they ran out; I think someone was still selling copies a while ago, I’ll have a look!
That was me, yes
Was the motion smoothed to the extent it was fully liquid Who?
Me too! Some amazing memories there
Thanks Reid! Glad you like it!
