I've seen most of these and only SORT OF know the Blofeldt/"it's stirred not shaken right?" one.

I'm sure a quick scan through IMDB would give most of the answers though.

Hugh, I don't know where you've seen them as they were only made up this afternoon!

And what is the "Blofeld/"it's stirred not shaken right?" one?
 
An excellent quiz.

The answer to question 5 reminds me of how confused I was when I first saw the actor play the good role. I was unaware for a long time he was playing two different characters.
 
Sorry, meant I've seen most of the films.

Sorry a second time, for spoiler reasons, but "the one" I was referring to was Charles Gray, Blofldt in Diamonds Are Forever. He says "that's stirred not shaken right?" in You only live twice as Dikko Henderson, (I explain while milking IMDB for everything it's worth). :D

Even more fascinating from IMDB is news that Zach Braff and Mandy Moore have split, the Sopranos want more money and Bruce Willis injured a paparazzi going Die Hard on his ass.
 
Good for Brucie, I say: anyone going hard on their ass needs a good slap. Bad enough the poor animals have to carry huge loads all day, without some pervy snapper giving them one at the end of it.
 
I got a cappuccino this morning from Amnesty international, but the guy who makes the nice ones is out so I got a mucky one from someone who knows how to make them properly but couldn't be arsed as she was putting T-shirts on display.

That's as close as I'm going to come to contributing to this thread.
 
I used to know the answer to 7 but had forgotten (I now know the answer to 7).
If I guessed at 12, I'm guessing that my guess would probably be correct but probably not accepted until I can remember his real name.
I know the lyric that is sung in question 1, but not the song title.
 
It's somewhere in Corfu, isn't it? In fact, I can just make out a smallish blonde bathing topless, and with what looks like a darkly handsome young man about to... damn, the pixel's just a bit blurred!
 
..not a lot gets past you, Kri!!!!!

(you're not supposed to give the Brain of Britain a clue though, d'oh....:lol:)
 
Well, I did visit there, a long, long time ago, admittedly, and it's not TOO difficult to put a fading memory together with your recent holiday venue! Anyway, I'm not dead sure where that is, but Wikipedia (and where would Brain of Brian be without it?) reveals that FYEO and FRWL as well as other bits of Bond films were shot around the island.
 
Mind you that was easy enough once knowing it was a beach on Corfu - the film was filmed there!! :lol: It's Kalami Beach, near Kassiopi, where someone-or-other (forget the name!) was murdered in the film.
