While on the James Bond movie subject; anybody think that No Time To Die will actually be released in November (i.e. or be postponed again)?

I wonder how much it cost Omega to have that white cuff pulled back and off the watch?

The more I study the chart that I posted, the more I think that their cipherin' is off. A standard unit of hard alcohol by health standards is 1.5 ounces (12 ounces of beer or 5 ounces of wine) Bond specifies 3 measures of Gin and 1 measure of Vodka (we'll leave out the lillet/vermouth). If that's a standard jigger measure of 1.5 ounces, each Vesper would pack 6 alcoholic units or 36 for the overnight flight from London to Bolivia (still far off the Boggsian pace of 64 units of alcohol or 64 beers consumed on a much shorter transcontinental flight).

But back to the chart. Bond's total consumption for the Quantum of Solace would be 42 1/2 units of alcohol. Even if you scale the Vespers back to a much more manageable 3 ounces of gin/1 ounce of vodka, that still puts him at 24 units for the flight and 30.5 for the movie.

Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules.

Kinda believe that all the Bond pics had great aspects. Personally, the first two minutes of each movie had the most 'pop' in terms of good stuff. Especially like the ski scene where he skis off the cliff and unfolds his parachute with the British battle flag. Dumb question, can I assume that each one of the above products that were 'shilled' in the movies contributed some sort of dollars/pounds to the movie's coffers?

Luxury Brands Paid Nearly $100 Million to Be Featured in the Next James Bond Movie

From Heineken to Belvedere, brands are paying big bucks to be associated with world's suavest spy.


Everyone knows that international spy James Bond likes his martinis shaken, not stirred. But Heineken would like you to know he also enjoys an occasional brewski—and the brand is willing to pay a premium for it.

The Dutch brewer isn’t alone. According to The Daily Mail, luxury brands are happily coughing up millions to be featured in the next installment of the James Bond series, the 25th film in the long-running franchise.

Heineken paid £28 million (around $36 million) to be featured in the last film, Skyfall (a figure that reportedly covered a third of the movie’s budget), according to The Guardian. Belvedere, not to be outdone, paid to be Bond’s martini ingredient of choice, and even sold limited-edition 007 bottles for the occasion. No figures have been released on that deal, but Belvedere president Charles Gibb told the Guardian it was “the largest global partnership we have done to date.”

Other brands that have struck deals in hopes of becoming synonymous with Bond’s suave demeanor and effortlessly stylish life include Omega and Aston Martin. Altogether, a staggering £75 million ($96.7 million) in deals is estimated to have been brokered for the next installment of the film franchise (which has just confirmed that Daniel Craig will be returning as the eponymous 007).

Of course, this is no new phenomenon. Since the earliest films, Bond has attracted a roster of luxury brands, going from Brioni suits to Tom Ford ensembles or swapping out his Rolex for an Omega. (You can see just how many brands have sponsored the franchise over the years in this fascinating timeline from Hollywood Branded.

Luxury brands pay £75million to star in the latest James Bond film
  • Bollinger champagne thought to have paid £10 million for association with 007
  • Other brands already locked in include Omega and Aston Martin
  • Film will launch in Jamaica, where Bond author Ian Fleming lived, later this week
He has a licence to kill ... and to print money, judging by the big-money deals that James Bond is landing in endorsements.

Brands of champagne, watches and cars are among the firms that have paid a total of £75 million to be seen on the screen with the British spy.

Bollinger champagne is believed to have paid about £10 million to renew its association with the 007 franchise, which goes back 40 years, while Heineken beer has handed over a similar sum to extend an ad campaign featuring Bond star Daniel Craig.

The real question here is are we going to see the latest film released soon? Release it for pay per view for home watching if nothing else.

Craig isn’t getting any younger if he is going to do one more as has been rumored.

Current release date is November 20th, so I don't see much action for a couple of months. If they have to reschedule again, hopefully they'll just make it available in 4K to stream. I'd pay for it.

James Bond: No Time To Die release date update shared by MGM boss amid ‘great UNCERTAINTY’

James Bond movie No Time To Die's release date is still set for November, but MGM warn they are monitoring the situation amid "great uncertainty" in the cinema business.


As it stands No Time To Die will hit UK cinemas on November 12, 2020 – the latest delayed release date for Daniel Craig’s final James Bond movie. Now in MGM’s latest investor call, COO Christopher Brearton has given an update amid rumours No Time To Die will be pushed back yet again to 2021. According to The Spy Command, the studio boss said this month: “We continue to monitor and adjust the timing of our remaining 2020 [film] slate.”

That’s hardly a commitment to sticking to the November release date, but for now that’s what MGM are “currently” doing.

Brearton added: “The theatrical marketplace is in flux.

“There’s great uncertainty about what the near term holds for access and attendance.”

The boss also said MGM were optimistic about their cinematic distribution going forwards.

However, the studio may use cinema and premium video-on-demand to distribute some movies simultaneously.

Right now it’s not clear if he was hinting at that being the case for No Time To Die.

The Spy Command pointed out how Brearton said “great movies [can] be monetised” in a number of different ways.

But that was far from confirming a PVOD release for No Time To Die.

The week that I was on morphine grade opioids wasn't really good for concentrating on watching movies or even hour long programs. So, for the first time, I really got into watching youtube videos and channels: watch reviews, five or six minute clips from movies, various Formula 1 stuff and so on. And at one point, my feed of suggestions started to include a couple of "living the Bond lifestyle" channels. Wow, I guess everything exists out there on the interweb tubes these days and definitely to each their own, but that is one weird rabbit hole that these guys have gone down.

Watched Skyfall (one of the best Bond movies) last night, and I got to thinking about what might be the five most cringe worthy Bond moments.....leaving aside obvious instances of rape (poor Pussy Galore), racism (I think I'm turning Japanese) and debilitating alcoholism (6 Vespers on the flight to Bolivia) moments. Off the top my head and in no particular order, I came up with

The Invisible Car

The Goldfinger Onesie

George Lazenby's Kilt and Ruffles

Moonraker--the entire fucking movie

And, finally, the Rolling Stone poll that listed Tom Jones' "Thunderball" as only the 7th best Bond theme song. Bask in the glory of its genius.
