James Bond

And then it turns out MI6 has been SPECTRE this whole time.

Hail Hydra, eh?

Fun fact: the HYDRA logo was actually inspired by SPECTRE's.

If anyone is born to be a Bond villain, it's Waltz. If he is going to be Bloefeld, than they're doing as good a job hiding that fact as J.J Abrams did with the whole Khan reveal XD.

I wonder if they're leading us on and he's really playing another totally different iconic Bond villain?

Waltz is Goldfinger.

Don't even get me started on Khan.

Any idea who is doing the title song yet?

Also, this may sound like a crack suggestion and until yesterday I would have disagreed with it, but after listening to Lady Gaga do her latest album with Tony Bennett, I know she has the singing chops to do a Bond title song justice.

If Walz is going to be the main villain in a movie called SPECTRE I'm not sure why they're bothering hiding his identity, y'know?

Andrew Scott once played a seeming schmoe who was actually the world's greatest criminal mastermind. Are you sure 'Denbigh' is really his character's name?

Then again, in both the books and the pre-reboot films Bond battled lower SPECTRE agents before the big cheese stepped in personally, so Walz could be one of those I suppose.

I got a suggestion, to avoid confusion between the organization and the upcoming movie, can't we just spell the movie as "Spectre?"

Also, if they're still planning on honoring the chronological order of the books, think they'll just make Mr. Big a SPECTRE henchman?

That is actually the official spelling of the title.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

And in a total coincidence, I've just begun the SPECTRE arc in the books, with Thunderball!

Use italics for when you're referring to the movie. Like this: SPECTRE.

For when you're referring to the organization: SPECTRE or Spectre.

It is. Fancy that.

Nice in all, but beat you to the punch.

That could actually work, provided that song she's given is good. We easily end with another Die Another Day fiasco. I think if she's given a jazzier sounding song than pop, Gaga could pull it off.

I also hear Muse has been wanting to do a Bond theme for a while.

Two questions:

1. What's the chronological order of the books, because I'm planning on reading them, and I don't know where to start?

2. Given the fact Marvel Comics collaborated with Madhouse to make anime based on the former's I Ps, why haven't MGM, Danjaq/EON, and the Fleming Estate did the same for Bond yet?

Not that I mind too much Hallowhawk, but a ten second Google would give you answers a lot faster to a lot of these questions. The first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_novels_and_short_stories

Thanks, though what about Shoot to Kill and the Moneypenny Diaries?

Allegedly, Jesper Christensen as Mr. White IS actually returning. Or at least, this source says so. Wonder what his role will be?

Didn't he say he hated the two movies he was in?

Somehow I doubt we'll be getting a James Bond movie entitled "The Moneypenny Diaries" any time soon.

I dunno, current Ms. Moneypenny could make for a pretty kickass female lead.

I dunno, she would probably shoot Bond once again.

A black woman as a lead would be an insult to this franchise's proud traditions of racism and sexism. Fleming would be turning in his grave.

Last time they tried that was with Jinx but poor reception to the character plus Catwoman murdering Halle Berry's career put a stop to that
