When Bond arrives undercover in the Caribbean in Die Another Day, one of the things he has with him is a book about birds, entitled Birds Of The West Indies. The book is real, and the author is one James Bond, a name Ian Fleming used for his hero because he thought it was dull and anonymous enough to work for his fictional secret agent. As a side note, another piece of reading material of Bond's in Die Another Day makes a reference to a previous Bond movie: a magazine he's reading while on the flight to the Caribbean features an article about Gustav Graves, where the line "Diamonds are forever..." is clearly visible.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
