Great idea
Jan 26 2008, 5:14 PM EST hey everyone - Greenarrow suggested this section to me and I thought the idea was too good to pass up. Wanna help out? suggestions on how we should organize it? By film? By best lair? I think Best Lair is probably a good place to start, there wasn't a featured lair in each film. Do you find this valuable? |

Jan 26 2008, 7:45 PM EST Well, let's see. Lairs are featured in: Dr. No From Russia With Love )the SPECTRE boat--but you should include the training camp, and chess room) Goldfinger (the ranch, laser room) Thunderball (Disco Volante) YOLT (volcano lair, Osato's office, Tanaka's office) OHMSS (Piz Gloria) DAF (Whyte penthouse, Whyte Bridal Suite, Oil rig, Slumber funeral home) LALD (Kananga's HQ in New York and San Monique underground lair) TMWTGG (Scaramanga's Island--and MI6 QE 1 headquarters) TSWLM (the tanker) Moonraker (the satellite) For Your Eyes Only (the monastery) Octopussy (Octo's Island) A View to a Kill (eh..) The Living Daylights (Whittaker's Monaco HQ) Licence To Kill (Sanchez's meditation retreat, Isthmus casino, the Isthmus house) Goldeneye (the Cuba HQ) Tomorrow Never Dies (the sub..meh) The World is Not Enough (Elektra's retreat, MI6 Scottish HQ) Die Another Day (The Ice Palace) Casino Royale (the casino, LeChiffre's boat) I've got some volcano shots and tanker shots already--I'll throw those in for a start. I think I also have some Ken Adam drawings I could toss in. I'll get started. Do you find this valuable? |

Jan 28 2008, 6:29 PM EST I vote for the set in Dr.No with the' fishwindow" and the locations in Istanbul (Hagia Sofia etc.) the" travelouge" was a big part of the IF books and is great in the movies too. It really takes you there,its more than just a "set". Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Great idea
Feb 1 2008, 4:17 PM EST Hey, this page is already looking great! Definitely want to consider eventually breaking out pages by movie, especially once there are more lairs represented. Favorite sets: Drax's jungle mission control center; Stromberg's dining room; Goldfinger's rumpus room; Gen. Gogol's office in Moscow. Do you find this valuable? |

Feb 1 2008, 4:35 PM EST Thanks. Took your idea and basically went with it-I had too many Volcano set pix! Eventually there'll be more...sets, not volcano pictures ;) Do you find this valuable? |

Mar 25 2008, 12:45 AM EDT So it's time for this page to get broken up into individual info pages and associated pics&clips pages. The formatting is getting too complex (i just spent the better part of 4 hours cleaning it up) so it's difficult for people to add new content to the page. we have plenty of content to devote to individual pages so i'll get to work on that and should be finished up by this weekend. this page looks great yall. we can gauge the success of pages when they get so big that they have to be broken up. this page is certainly one of our recent successes :) Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Great idea
Apr 9 2008, 10:08 PM EDT "arn't we forgetting 'Ms' office?"No. We've been trying to show designs, blue-prints, models and their movie counter-parts. We're doing a lot of research trying to find elements to compare with the movies, and so far, "M's" office hasn't appeared. When it does, we'll put it up. One thing I'd like to do is, when we DO put up "'M's' Office" (Man! Tough keepin' those "quotes" straight!), we might think of putting up screen-caps of it from every film--it was the same set from "Dr. No" to "Licence To Kill." Even when production was primarily in France for "Moonraker," they just packed it up and moved it to there. Now that they're not using it in the films, many of the elements were part of the touring "James Bond" museum exhibit going around the world (I got to see it in Vancouver) Do you find this valuable? |
