I am an (unofficial) employee of Eon. Barbara & Michael rarely let the official 007 social media accounts post anything interesting so this is my place to vent.
Barbara put me on janitorial duty for the day so spare a thought for me while all you bootlicking Bond bloggers & YouTube hosts enjoy the #TheSoundOf007 Concert.
She keeps humming “Writing’s on the Wall” to herself. There’s SOMETHING on the wall in the Eon washrooms alright!🤢
I wish I could say that I’m attending as well but Barbara scheduled me for janitorial duties at Eon HQ that evening with “Writings on the Wall” set to be played on loop at the highest possible volume for my entire shift.
If anything is going to blow my jet lag away, it’s being mere metres away from Shirley Bassey belting out Goldfinger
I’m so excited for tomorrow night! Who else is attending?
Barbara Broccoli has been notably absent from these @BFI events. That’s because she stayed behind to personally administer my punishment for saying I dislike Spectre. This consists of 24 forced viewings of the film with eye clamps to force my eyes open while strapped to a chair.
This is all well & good but did you find out why @HansZimmer felt it necessary to steal all the Eon office pens last year? They’ve since been replaced of course but we were told it’s all part of doing business with him. He’s apparently a notorious pen thief.
I’m sure every #JamesBond fan remembers Thomas Newman’s brilliant use of the James Bond Theme in the Skyfall pre-credits sequence. Truly a highlight of the Daniel Craig era.😂😆
A preview of the upcoming documentary The Sound of 007, premiering exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on October 5th.
Directed by BIFA and BAFTA-nominee Mat Whitecross, the film pulls back the curtain on the remarkable history of six decades of James Bond music.

I’ve gone the extra mile & made another feeble attempt to get #BondTwitter to care about this event. It won’t matter. I’ve explained to Barbara that not even Sam Smith performing that blasted song from Spectre will distract from the current dumpster fire that is #BondTwitter.🤷♂️
Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli were honoured at the 2022 Pioneer of the Year event in LA organised by the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation. Daniel Craig and Michelle Yeoh presented the award, while Sam Smith performed Writing’s On The Wall. #60yearsofBond
@TheBondComplex They tried to get Michelle Yeoh to watch Spectre but she wisely opted out. Something about having to go “kick Jamie Lee Curtis’s arse again.”
I halfheartedly tried to convince Barbara & Michael that #BondTwitter have been responding enthusiastically about this along with all yesterday’s Sound of 007 news. Instead, #BondTwitter has been wasting time mocking an academic’s faux pas. Oh well🤷♂️
@DavidGArnold@tomsmason91 My impossible wish is that @DavidGArnold brings an Italian Rainbow Cookie Cake to get back into the good graces of Barbara & Michael after that whole snafu in 2008 when he brought one to a QoS party & decided to take it home with him when it wasn’t served with other desserts.🙏
Thankfully I convinced Barbara Broccoli that the audience wouldn’t be keen on her initial idea of restricting this concert to solely being a celebration of the music from Spectre. I might have fibbed just a bit when I told her Thomas Newman wasn’t returning her calls.🤫
Sorry @TheIanFleming but Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson have something even better planned for #JamesBondDay. . . .
🤫🤫I wasn’t supposed to leak this but we’re about to announce another £5,000 backgammon set. 🤫🤫
Whatever you’ve got planned will likely go unnoticed🤣😂
@TheWizardOfIce@NotPerfectedYet The only beach I have within view is from this clip of Daniel coming out of the water from Casino Royale since Barbara has every screen in the building set to play it on loop.🤷♂️
Don’t ask why I couldn’t get a statement from Barbara and Michael up yesterday. Michael had just gone down for a nap after eating his raisin-free oatmeal cookies and Barbara started weeping after seeing Daniel in the new Knives Out trailer. It was a difficult day!😫
"We join the world in mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family."
– Michael G. Wilson & Barbara Broccoli
I’ll get to it, old man although first I need to fetch Babs another caramel latte. #NationalIguanaAwarenessDay had been already in the queue for months now. I’m surprised you hadn’t done the same yourself.
Her Majesty & #JamesBond two British icons who were a constant cause for national pride no matter the state of the country.
With overlapping careers she was the only monarch Bond ever served.
So it really is poor form that @007 & EON have still made no official comment

I finally convinced Barbara & Michael to say something about Monty Norman. It only took 3 caramel lattes & a dozen raisin-free oatmeal cookies.
"We are saddened to learn of the passing of Monty Norman today. Monty created the iconic anthem to accompany the cinematic entrance of the world’s greatest secret agent, 007, and we are eternally grateful for his contribution to the franchise" Michael G. Wilson & Barbara Broccoli
