But he declined, stating that the event for which he was being honoured for was about the equality of the citizens of Britain and that a knighthood would make him unequal. Brendon's update: He also told the BBC's Front Row this week that he wouldn't want to direct a James Bond film either I think that[...]

When I sat down to read it, the parallels between Skyfall and Death of the Family hit me like a knotted rope to the testicles (Casino Royale anyone?). The similarities between classic James Bond and Batman are impossible to ignore Both men are orphans, driven to develop themselves to physical perfection They have access to high-tech[...]

Bond at 50:  Only a fool would describe Skyfall as the best Bond film ever. They’re all so different for one thing. How do you compare Tim Dalton’s

You'll have to wait until this Friday to hear the full version, but here's 89 seconds of the opening theme tune for the latest James Bond film, Skyfall I'm no music expert, but this sounds like both classic Bond and classic Adele, with a quiet piano opening building up to a powerful orchestral chorus You[...]
