Aspiring Qs would do well to think outside the box. Played most famously by Welshman Desmond Llewelyn, the fictional Q was nothing if not a dreamer. Yet not everything the Bond technician dreamt up became standard issue. 007 never did get to try out the couch, showcased in The Living Daylights, that swallowed up anyone who sat on it. The spy also managed without the telephone box equipped with air bags able to crush anyone inside it. And we never heard a sound out of the exploding alarm clock - "guaranteed," Q said in License to Kill, "never to wake...
...acres. The U.S. has taken a different, more tangled approach to the plant, one that reflects the quick assumptions of the war on drugs. The farmland around leafland, a once commanding estate east of Lexington, used to provide a rich bounty to the Graves clan. Jacob Hughes, a Welshman, first planted in this part of Kentucky in the 1770s, but now his great-great-grandson, Jacob Hughes Graves III, 75, grows corn and tobacco only out of tradition. Although he earned his livelihood as a banker, Graves grew up working on the farm, and he always hoped his land might...

"I find it hard to put into words the disappointment I felt," he wrote to fans on his homepage...
This being a major-studio production--director John Madden's first since his Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love--the main Greeks are played by an Englishman (John Hurt), a Welshman (Christian Bale) and a Spaniard (Cruz, pre-Tom Cruise). Corelli is a coffee-table movie: one leafs through the gorgeous vistas and nods through the narrative. That leaves plenty of time to ponder Cage's dilemma. Does he keep paddling in the mainstream or return to the edge of weirdness...
...review collections of the old masters, no matter how out of date ("elegant!"), out of touch ("timeless!"), or dowdy ("refined!"). This discrepancy was blatantly apparent at the recent haute couture shows in Paris. The big show of the season should have been Givenchy's. It was 28-year-old Welshman Julien Macdonald's turn to try to revamp the legendary house after enfant terrible Alexander McQueen quit to build his own brand with Gucci Group. Macdonald, who once designed knitwear for McQueen, played it safe. Very safe. Macdonald makes dull Paris debut, said London's Independent. The collection was lovely...
