Hey! We thought some of you may be interested in hearing British Production designer Sir Ken Adams talk about his James Bond set designs.
Look at this one from You Only Live Twice. A bit phallic, no?
No one seems to know what the hell the Jame Bond movie's title, Quantum of Solace, actually means, a fact comedian Joe Cornish highlights in this satirical theme song.

Here it is, boys and girls, the trailer for the latest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. Sadly, Daniel Craig does not sport that infamous bathing suit.
John McCain's presidential campaign released a new James Bond-inspired commercial attack Barack Obama's energy policy. And, because Obama says "no" to myriad energy policies, like off-shore drilling, the so-called gas tax holiday and McCain's $300 million prize for a new electric car battery, the Democrat has been cast as "Dr. No." Get it?!
Sometimes you come across a story that starts in one place and ends somewhere else entirely. Take, for example, this piece from List. We dove in to read what actor Tamer Hassan had to say about his Layer Cake co-star Daniel Craig's Oscar ambitions.
Craig, says Hassan, wants an Academy Award so badly that he'd do a gay scene in the next James Bond flick: "That's Daniel dying for an Oscar. Ever since Brokeback Mountain everyone wants to have a gay scene to win an Oscar." Ah, yes, the gay for gold card. Cute, but not the most original punchline.
While we would have ended there, we wanted to "hear" what else Hassan had to say for himself - and we're kind of grossed out. With regard to playing gay:
You couldn't get me doing that though - my son would never forgive me! I've got a 16-year-old son, so can you imagine? He would get ridiculed for it. And he's at a professional soccer club too - can you imagine the dressing room banter?! So, no, they couldn't get me doing that. They can keep the Oscar and I'll keep my virginity!
Good God! Is it really so difficult to discuss gay with your son - and address homophobia in his soccer club - that you'd reject a gay role even if it garnered an Oscar? Way to commit…
