ATP...you do NOT...I repeat...do NOT, need a jet pack. I can easily jettison you out into the Ozone layer so you can have a look back on the world through a smog enhanced view. It will be an E coupon ride so keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times!!!
Thanks for the intel King...we can only hope the "Man from Uncle" movie will do justice to the genre.
Thanks to to all the hoarders in the world who hung on to all the Bond goodies. I have what I call the "Bond Bungalow" attached to the front patio of my house (bedroom, full bath, closet with microwave, small fridge, coffee maker, etc.) for guests to stay. This year I finally put some of the finishing touches on the bedroom and have several shelves of collectables and a display of moderately sized framed Bond movie posters.
Can't get enough of all those fabulous Bond cars. Vroom Vroom

James Bond is coming to comics (or graphic novel if you prefer). It will focus on his pre-Casino Royale era
USA Today: James Bond Comics

Right now I am watching (on Roku on Netflix) a miniseries from England called Fleming: The Man who would be Bond. Its a slightly fictionalized biography of Ian Fleming and shows how, while he was in the military in WW2, he came up with different gadgets and ideas that are in the James Bond books. You can definitely see his inspiration for different characters and the villains. Tons of sex as well, so you can see why Bond is a ladies man, plus the infamous martini details. I would recommend the series for anyone who wants some background on Bond.

Thanks for those encouraging thoughts...I tried to watch that series and just could not get into it. I will give it another try.

Not sure what to think of this, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was just about my favorite show back in the 60s
along with The Prisoner, The Avengers, Secret Agent Man aka Danger Man, Mission Impossible & I Spy (Goddamn you Cosby!)etc.
I preferred these shows over cartoons, as for this new movie version, I am glad it is set in the 1960s
but it bares little resemblance to the original show, Ben Foster should have been cast as Illya Nickovetch Kuryakin!

And I wonder, with new Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie, if the plot will be like season 1 of the TV show which was somewhat sincere action spy thriller or like season 3 which tried to compete with Batman and got campy and had plots such as the one where a bad guy dropped a huge stink bomb on Las Vegas?
