Ahh! Finally a reader of the novels!

Yes! I was actually introduced as a child to brands from reading novels and short stories from Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl. Dahl's short stories about expensive wines introduced me to all the famous first growth vineyards. If I ever become a parent, I'll probably censor my children from reading these authors, as it might corrupt them. It didn't corrupt me too much (at least I don't think so). Regardless, I look forward to the future films.
Just out of curiosity, do you have a favorite Bond film? For me, favorites include Goldfinger (great supporting cast of main villain and sub-villain), You Only Live Twice (there's nothing stand out about this one, but overall it showed a scale to the film), The Spy Who Loved Me (the car! and the seaworthy aspect), License to Kill (slightly off the usual Bond Script, but fairly well packaged and a big climatic and explosive ending), Tomorrow Never Dies (the car is a good supporting actor and I especially like the villain in this one, highly realistic media-mogul plot that could actually happen), and Casino Royal (the only Bond film I liked with Daniel Craig as the others were way too far from the usual plot, this one had a nice and tidy plot).
