Molly and I went to see the film last night courtesy of Broughtons. Private screening in Cheltenham don't you know! Copious amounts of Bollinger on arrival, Molly did her best to keep up but failed. The film is truly excellent not at all like any of the previous ones, I heartily recommend it. Whilst watching the action Banana Rob kept me well stocked up with both red and white wine! Thanks Rob my turn next. Apart from accidentally knocking a glass onto the floor the evening passed without incident.
My heart felt thanks to Broughtons , Skyfall, Aston Martin and the World in General.

I assume with your review of the evening consisting of how much you were able to drink during the movie, a review of it will probably have to wait until Molly signs in? wink

Rob,

I understand that your hosts have a 'Brand Ambassador', don't you know.
Certainly sounds jolly grand.
What does it all mean?

I wish it had run him over, not close. A pouting thug with a character by pass. About as much sophistication and class as a tub of jellied eels.
Layer Cake was excellent, that's his limit IMO.

Funny you should mention that Tony. Ironically, although it's often considered uncool here to link 007 to AM that's just what the promoters have done with the latest pin badges that were in last night's 'goody bags':

Is it that obvious?! Well trained eye evidently Lewis. Can you give him a lesson in how to tie the real thing?

Erm, actually I have to confess that on this (rare) occasion I wasn't much better behaved than him and the evening passed as a pleasant blur (neither of us were driving)! Besides, we wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone looking forward to seeing it for themselves.

What I can say is that it's a very British film, less glamour more grit ... and if there was a Bentley I didn't see it ... and yes, there is still an Aston taking a starring role, albeit an old one!

That's because the Bentley features in the new book (Carte Blanche), not the new film wink

A superb evening from start to finish, great fun with rob and Amanda (happy to ply you with wine, love the fact that you perceive a wine glass as a shot glass), taking out Vickys glass mid film was very funny!

The film itself for me is the best bond film so far, seriously gritty, dark and for me, bond as he should be. Quantum of solace was a blip, Bond is back!

Karen and I are hoping to see the film this week. I take on board comments vis-a-vis Daniel Craig's acting shortcomings and I can just picture JohnG1 pulling his hair out yes

As an aside, do you feel that the release of a Bond Movie gives the AM marque a higher profile and a much-needed boost ??

I ask this because I've been driving round the foothills of Mount Snowdon this morning and - ok the Snowdon Marathon is on today, but - I've been receiving a lot more waves and pointing !!!

As I drove up to the security gates earlier, a young girl actually dropped a tray of drinks all over the floor too smile
