r11co Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Posted November 17, 2006 I saw it last night... incredible!! And a complete watch-fest.... I counted a PO, SMP, Railmaster and Speedmaster. Still not sure what Le Chiffe was wearing - it could've been a VC of some kind... JG You missed the croupier's Constellation then Oh, and you'll have noticed they left the line in about Rolex ( ) and Omega.
jamesg Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 You missed the croupier's Constellation then Ahh I thought the croupier was wearing a speedmaster - i thought it was some kind of special edition with a red/black dial! Must admit I was pretty tired by then
Bignasty Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Tonights the night! Going to see it after work.
Guest TTK Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Woohoo.....I'm so excited......not about the movie....( which I saw...it was OK..).......I'm excited for r11co......every schoolboy should have a fantasy.....but at some time they should let it go.....BTW...Connery's still the best......and Craig isn't up to the Bourne series.....the name's Bourne.....Jashon Bourne.....
gioarmani Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Just saw it before lunch--[censored]ING AWESOME! Adheres much better to the Ian Flemming stuff than the last few Jaguar & BMW commercials they released (i.e., the Pierce Brosnan flicks).
jonthebhoy Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 ..........and what happens now.........that they've run out of books? Ghost writers? JTB

Oi - gimme my day in the sun @JTB - they ran out of book titles about 20 years ago. This was the one that got away.

wheaton26 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 my wife and i went to the bahamas premiere last night. they had a special theatre for the bahamian cast and crew. my wife's scene made it in the movie! although it was very short, it was still pretty cool to see her on the big screen. she was one of the two girls sitting poolside during the night scene at the ocean club. i have to say, i was never a big fan of james bond movies but this one was awesome! daniel craig is is just one of those guys ... men want to be him and women want to be with him. here are a couple of shots before the movie. all the best.

I remember you mentioning this way back when the 1st Unit was in the Bahamas. Fantastic - she's immortalised now (along with Richard Branson!!)
fotoman Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 THIS MOVIE WAS F-IN AWESOME The best movie i have seen in years. it made me want an omega
wheaton26 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 it made me want an omega me too actually! what model was it? i'm sure i could find it in a search. i am a panerai only guy but would be interested to see an up close picture of one!
r11co Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Posted November 19, 2006 me too actually! what model was it? i'm sure i could find it in a search. i am a panerai only guy but would be interested to see an up close picture of one! 2 watches - 45mm Planet Ocean, black bezel on black rubber strap, and Seamaster 300m.
slay Posted November 19, 2006 Report Posted November 19, 2006 I remember when craig was nominated for that movie, everyone was like "nahh, I will NOT watch this movie, NEVER EVER" and now everyone's being a traitor!
wheaton26 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Posted November 19, 2006 2 watches - 45mm Planet Ocean, black bezel on black rubber strap, and Seamaster 300m.thanks r11co. i will look into these!
pollux1 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 2 watches - 45mm Planet Ocean, black bezel on black rubber strap, and Seamaster 300m. I own both lol, only the Seamaster is real though
hank7502 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 I own both lol, only the Seamaster is real though Bond, James Bond.
docblackrock Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks to r11co for providing the 9-month anticipation/excitement Took my GF last night (she saw the trailer and the ocean/trunks scene, what can you do? ). Finally a Bond who looks like he can actually do some damage, a [censored]er you wouldn't want to mess with (well he is a fellow Scouser after all ) unlike all past encumbents with the exception of perhaps Connery who will always be 'Classic Bond'. The other leads don't even rate, Craig is THAT good in both action and the more sedate poker scenes. A bit of dodgy editing in terms of plot loose ends at the close I thought but then I'm picky like that Got a nudge in my ribs and a wry smile from her at the Rolex/Omega line . Anything else? OH yes, since I have two 22mm POs on the way (both 45mm, one a chrono ) and even though I've pestered several dealers about the 22mm rubber strap (since the gen is 160GBP with buckle, and an eye-watering 360GBP with deployant ), I'll shout it again... CHRIST HOW DIFFICULT CAN IT BE TO MAKE??? I NEED THAT 22MM RUBBER STRAP NOW!!!!!!!!!
r11co Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks to r11co for providing the 9-month anticipation/excitement I am glad someone appreciated it Finally a Bond who looks like he can actually do some damage, a [censored]er you wouldn't want to mess with (well he is a fellow Scouser after all ) unlike all past encumbents with the exception of perhaps Connery who will always be 'Classic Bond'. The other leads don't even rate, Craig is THAT good in both action and the more sedate poker scenes. A bit of dodgy editing in terms of plot loose ends at the close I thought but then I'm picky like that You have no idea some of the good incidental stuff they removed (like the significance of the small boy in the African terrorist camp at the beginning, and the fact that the good looking blonde was Le Chiffre's bodyguard more than girlfriend, thus explaining the bad guy's penchant for stripping his male captives naked...... ) Got a nudge in my ribs and a wry smile from her at the Rolex/Omega line . coz you knew it was coming??!! Maybe some day we'll get together and talk about all things Bond and watches. Better wrap it up here as some people are getting bored of us (but then I don't go crapping on their Euro Champions League borefests... )
Dario33 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Saw this over the weekend and loved it. Craig was great as was the new formula -- fresh and exciting...just what this franchise needed to jump-start it again
jonthebhoy Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Better wrap it up here as some people are getting bored of us (but then I don't go crapping on their Euro Champions League borefests... ) Tetchy tetchy Rico. Al good fun my son. All good fun. Anyways there's dosh at stake in the boring old CL thread..................and for the record we did discuss Gerard Houlier's Planet Ocean in it...............but we felt one mention was enough. JTB

Better wrap it up here as some people are getting bored of us (but then I don't go crapping on their Euro Champions League borefests... ) Oh there's definitely a couple of beers in this one for sure - I did wonder about the pinball boy and the blonde sidekick plus a few other bits left dangling (excuse the pun ). We'll have to do a mini-GTG sometime, maybe even invite/convert JTB Oh and don't worry, I crap on both threads equally
docblackrock Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 ....and for the record we did discuss Gerard Houlier's Planet Ocean in it...............but we felt one mention was enough. We did??? Aaaaahh, you wee joker you
