This is Temple Station... from the #JamesBond film #Skyfall. It's really the old #JubileeLine terminus at #CharingCross, which was dressed up as Temple for the film.
These platforms are still connected to the actual Jubilee Line and can act as a central #London depot for engineering trains or spare passenger stock for surges during events at the O2 or Wembley.
Tonight's viewing distraction: a revisit to The Spy Who Loved Me. Very silly Moore-era Bond, but fun, plus the Lotus that converts to a sub (which also made a terrific toy!) & another amazing Ken Adams massive villain set (which lead to a new, huge soundstage at Pinewood, now known at the 007 Stage)

For decades people have laughed at the film Moonraker - James Bond in space! - as a silly, over the top film.
But it acquires a new relevance in modern politics for it is basically telling the story of one Elon Musk, a man who is basically Hugo Drax in his desires to go into space and seed the earth with his superior progeny.

This photo that proves James BOND is real. And he's playing his own video game, on a Nintendo N64 console!
Our goal always remains to verify each information, so that the truth comes to light 
John Boorman – „Der Schneider von Panama“ (2001)
Klassisches britisches Kino. Obwohl es ein durch und durch amerikanischer Film ist. Doch wenn ein englischer Großregisseur ein Drehbuch des Großmeisters John le Carré mit einem Iren in der Hauptrolle besetzt, der gerade noch als 007 das Empire und die Welt retten durfte, dann kommt das eben dabei heraus. Ein kleines, selbstironisches Kunstwerk, das tagespolitisch aktueller kaum in die Zeit passt. (ZDF, WH)
#JamesBond verstand viel von Vögeln. Er war Ornithologe. Außerdem hatte er einen solch gewöhnlichen Namen, dass er Ian Fleming als Inspiration für seinen berühmten Geheimagenten #007 diente.
Which is the best Bond movie?
Today, April 11, 1997, the “Tomorrow” newspaper late edition reports on the sinking of the HMS Devonshire, a ship that went down off the coast of China due to a hacked GPS, believing itself to be in international waters (Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997)
New at my Patreon... When visiting London, I took a James Bond walking tour. Nearing the end, we visited the bar where Fleming invented "Shaken, not stirred":

@rskurat @Daojoan 'Yes, well, Iʼve worked out a few statistics of my own. Fifteen billion dollars in gold bullion weighs 10,500 tons. Sixty men would take twelve days to load it onto 200 trucks. Now, at the most, youʼre going to have two hours before the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines move in and make you put it back.'

Pierce Brosnan Gives His Blessing to Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the Next Potential James Bond
#MovieNews #Movies #AaronTaylorJohnson #JamesBond #PierceBrosnan
The next James Bond film must have the US President as the villain trying to destroy the world economy.
Anything else would not be credible.
