Luckily, the EON people seem to have realised to keep Bond contemporary AND to use the retro palettes and styles of the Connery era they need to drop the camp... even the octopus has had a makeover from the spy decoder ring style of the early days to a sleek titanium look... shame the baddie gets a sexier car...Volcano Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372941500458681755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117416349695015821.post-5211684860636514432015-03-07T07:20:58.465+00:002015-03-07T07:20:58.465+00:00it was really an amazing news for me another film...it was really an amazing news for me another film of James Bond.

Interestingly, as an analogy, U.N.C.L.E., as in The Man from, is always all capitals and always with full stops.

I think on a few occasions recently, I've gone as far as writing it as S.P.E.C.T.R.E., but that method gets old pretty fast. teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.com
