That's always been EON's position because it would put them in the
position of not owning the story of the Bond film they're making and
having to pay twice for the story. They aren't morons.
> And what's with the double M in Flemming?
Good question.

Huh?

Yes, I recall EON stating that the non-Fleming Bond novels like the
Benson and Gardner books are off the table as Bond films.

I think you both agree with Syfy's stated policy.

Doesn't that require cropping of an image that's already too tight?

This is a great article, and it's part of the reason I put up with the
silliness around here. It's commonly felt that the dead gull on Bond's
head in GF is a sick joke and ruins the tone of the film.
It's nice to know that it was based on a real mission. It does feel
like the beginning of Fleming's book, but there's more to it.

I dunno. There's a nice image stabilizer in Final Cut Pro.

OK, having finally seen Avatar, I'm going to have to revise that
somewhat. I thought the 3D in the film was actually something of a
mixed bag. It genuinely enhanced some scenes, whilst in others, it was
the same irritating gimmick it's always been (most notably that
totally gratuitous shot of the Colonel hitting a golf ball at the
camera). On the whole, though, I'd say the balance tilted heavily
towards the former, which is good.

Go to the CR script here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/218434/CasinoRoyale
Scroll to pate 57. You'll see Bond's line:
"Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure
of Kina Lillet, shake it over ice then add a thin slice of lemon peel."
