The main thing will be to avoid running into the "Blofeld in SPECTRE" problem. The old characters are loaded up with meaning for us viewers (and if they weren't, there would be no need to re-use them) but necessarily don't really mean a thing to the…

To me that's already the lasting legacy of SP: It's the ultimate "If only" film. If only they'd tied up this plot string a bit better. If only they'd cast this actor instead of that. If only they'd used this location. Because it has so many solid st…

I could very much be wrong, but I think the current iteration of AI hype will have died down a bit by the time B26 will be released and there’s a serious chance it would look silly. Unless you purely do it as a MacGuffin where some key or USB stick …

Aquired my first bottle of Mount Gay XO a few weeks ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I might have to try the soda thing. That might seriously just be a nice summer day drinking option.

Good thing is that we can now point to this book as already having taken the title everytime someone thinks they’re clever in suggesting On His Majesty’s Secret Service for the next film…

Well, the problem with doing the SP ending in NTTD isn’t that it’s a bad ending per se. It’s that the had just done it the previous film. Which again gets to the point that a large part of the problem with NTTD is SP…

This is just off the top of my head, but did Craig have every variation of an ending? 1. Get the bad guy in the last second. 2. Little coda to the actual story to tie off a larger plotline 3. Back in the saddle, off to the next mission 4. Get th…

Just watched it for the first time last night after seeing the trailer for Part 2 and finding out it's just on Prime here. Very good film. Very atmospheric. (I kind of see @TheBondFan's point that the design is... ...obvious? I like it, but yeah it'…

It's also listed as unavailable on Amazon Germany and a few independent booksellers I checked. I missed the last-order deadline before the shuttering of the Book Depository so now put in a Hail Mary order to Amazon UK (Waterstones had delivery fees …

Should be a good sign, yeah. Accoring to the THR piece about the Amazon shambles a few weeks back, Broccoli was most concerned (or rather annoyed) with how the distribution side would shake out after the merger. With Lomis sadly passed this seems li…

I liked Deaver‘s update of the MI6/00 section background. I’ve written about this ad nauseam here and it’s all fictional anyway, so who cares, but MI6 is so big and it’s Head so well known that it and they are hardly the shadow warriors of Fleming‘s…

Just started watching SAS:Rogue Heroes and I’d be a-ok with Connor Swindells as Bond. Maybe he doesn’t have the resume but he sure looks and sounds the part. (And while we’re at it, get Jack O‘Connell in the franchise, too. I don’t have him as Bond…

Just got around to reading For King and Country #1. Really high-Level but nothing spectacular so far, I’d say. A whole lot of set-up with some good action and great character beats to make the exposition go down a bit smoother. The author just reall…

Compare and contrast that with their plan for Citadel, as per the THR piece posted here: A far more costly and troubled production was the Russo brothers’ Citadel, which debuts on April 28. Anthony Russo says Salke first approached AGBO, the Russo…

The question then is whether BB is satisfied now that there are at least real movie people at MGM eventhough they still have to report to Amazon Studios and Salke as CEO of that? I somehow can't imagine she would try to push her out completely. How …
