    Excellent comment…


    Tariffs are a tool, not an endgame. The film industry’s global nature makes this a messy battlefield—Hollywood relies on UK talent, Pinewood Studios, and tax incentives to keep budgets viable. Slapping 100% tariffs retroactively on Bond films shot abroad? Chaos. But strategic chaos.

    The goal isn’t to kill British cinema—it’s to force renegotiation of trade terms that’ve let foreign subsidies undercut U.S. crews for decades. Sean Connery’s legacy isn’t the issue; it’s about ensuring the next Bond reboot doesn’t outsource 10,000 American jobs to Buckinghamshire while LA soundstages sit empty.

    Leverage first, deals second.

    That might be for the controversial thread, but I prefer low(er) key action scenes to big ones. Give me hand to hand combat and good old shootouts over overcomplicated car chases with heavy gadgetry.


    Like The Bourne Identity? Anything less seems unlikely to me.

    Yes, that's the kind of action I enjoy. CR had the perfect level and quality to it too.

    The stairwell fight. What really worked about CR is that its locations felt lived in.
