James Bond returns to the big screen later this year with "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/470751/moviemain.jhtml"]Skyfall[/url]," the 23rd movie in the storied franchise, and when it lands, it'll have left a whole lot of destruction in its wake... and not just the fictional blow-up-the-bad-guys kind.

Agent 007's latest adventure has left a [url="http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/james-bond-stunt-goes-awry/"]330-year-old shop in Istanbal's iconic Grand Bazaar destroyed[/url], and it's no cinematic trick: a stuntman lost control of his motorcycle and thoroughly destroyed the store, and the shop owner is now one very unhappy customer.



"It is very nice for the Grand Bazaar to be chosen as a location for shooting this kind of movie. But the bazaar's administration… didn't notify us the shooting would be like this," said store owner Mete Boybeyi. "This place is regulated by the Council of Monuments. We can't even change our window without their permission."

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
