  1. 'The Property Of A Pussy'

    By Brett McAleer on 2006-08-02

    UPDATE: The James Bond Movie Title Generator now includes random plot summaries (including random Bond villains and girls).

    A new Bond novel!? Just another rogue publication like The Killing Zone!? Or is it the latest in a long line of Bond spoof literature!?

    Neither! It’s just a concoction from a fan with a funny Bond bone. The name’s Moser, Kim Moser.

    In July 2003 CBn alerted fans about Kim’s ‘James Bond Movie Title Generator’ to the amusement of forum members. One forum member commented that it only used the Bond film titles so CBn contacted Kim with a list of Bond book titles.

    Finally, after years of sweat and toil on the computer Kim has updated the generator to include the book titles! Says Kim:

    ‘[The Generator] now gives you an option of generating a movie (which is the default) or a book title. You’ll notice that the book titles only include those that are significantly different from the movies; titles that were used for both books and movies fall under “movies”.

    A few book titles didn’t easily lend themselves to randomization:

    • 007 in New York
    • Scorpius
    • SeaFire
    • Blast from the Past
    • Midsummer Night’s Doom
    • Doubleshot

    Maybe I’ll add them when I’m more inspired…’

    Kim Moser

    The list was submitted before the current crop of Young Bond books by Charlie Higson and The Moneypenny Diaries by Samantha Weinberg, so hopefully Kim will be further inspired to include these new titles as well.

    Until then, enjoy many a amusing result from Kim Moser’s James Bond Title Generator.

    Hmmm… License to Kill Me starring Pierce Moore!

    Official ‘Casino Royale’ Teaser Poster

    The official Casino Royale website blog has been updated by ‘Yarborough.’ Coverage this time centers on the main villain of the film: Le Chiffre, portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen.

    The report tells how Le Chiffre will be a different kind of the villain in the James Bond film legacy. Mikkelsen says of the role: ‘He’s not the mad scientist who’s trying to take over the world but he’s trying to make as much money as possible, cheating everybody he can, which of course gives him a lot of enemies but he is a little more human than you probably normally would see in a Bond villain. He’s a man who has got a lot of greed, he just wants money in an easy way and that’s going to be his Achilles Heel in the end.’

    Read the entire report here on the official James Bond website.

  5. Pierce Brosnan On The 'The Matador' And James Bond

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-08-01

    Pierce Brosnan, who starred most recently in The Matador (which saw DVD release in the US in July) spoke to Entertainment Wise about his movie roles, including James Bond.

    He played one of the biggest movie icons in four hugely successful films, but in his latest film, a black comedy called ‘The Matador’, he plays a hitman who has really hit the skids.

    “I think that all the films I’ve ever made are personal, even James Bond, because it’s so much of myself, so much of who I am as a man and as an actor. You have to invest yourself in every character that you portray’.

    …..

    “There was only one Bond for me, and it was Sean Connery. That made the role daunting.”

    …..

    “Bond is an enigma. He’s smooth and bigger than life, but he’s vague as a personality. It’s a little like doing a period piece. Look, I’m thankful, the role made me an international star. I’ve been in the backwaters of Papua New Guinea and heard, ‘Hey, Bond.'”
