    Passion for the gun barrel, yes we are the true fans of this series!

    Okay lets move on to another would you rather that touches on the future of the series.

    I have seen some say the next film is Bond26 and others who have referred to the next film as Amazon1.

    Would you rather the next film be Bond26 or Amazon1?

    Bond26 implies that this is a continuation from the EON era and that the producers and production house has changed, that we are continuing the films and therefore Bond26 is the name until a title is picked.

    OR

    Amazon1 which implies that while the character is the same this is a new series of films. That the Bond we are about to see is not connected in anyway to what went before. This is a new take on the character and without EON there is no continuation.

    Which do you prefer? Should we call the next film Bond26 or Amazon1?

    Bond 26. Business as usual and a continuation from what’s come before, with a good bit of deference to EON’s foundations. Regardless of what we actually get which may differentiate it from EON.

    … unless of course the film is just rubbish. Then it’ll be Amazon 1.

    Kidding of course!

    Yeah I've no idea why Maurice slippy-slid him across the screen, really weird.

    I'm going to guess because George walked too quickly. So in post the gun barrel had to stop at points creating the tread mill effect.

    I'm not sure why they didn't just refilm it.

    So the story goes that they did try to retake it, but George liked it and didn't want to redo it, and deliberately messed up other shots so they'd have to use it! Not sure if that story is true, but it does sound plausible for George considering how brazen he was to get the role!!

    I think it would make perfect sense.

    Bond 26

    Good or bad, it will be the official, legacy version, passed on from EON to Amazon

    I'm looking forward to the return of AI generated Connery in the role...

    Amazon Bond 1

    For me Bond 26 is the upcoming video game first light

    Bond has been to some interesting places over the course of his adventures. Even making it to space. Lets see where you would rather visit. Q has finally done it and developed a time travel device that can take us anywhere our hero has been.

    Would you rather visit 1960's Japan OR 1970's Brazil?

    Bond visited the far east when most people couldn't afford to travel out that far. I loved the vibe of Bond in Tokyo and Japan in this time period.

    OR

    Bond stopped by Sugarloaf mountain in the 1970's. While we don't see much of Rio we do see a vibe and energy. The traffic, the carnival and of course wide labels and big ties!

    Which place would you rather visit in our double-o-7 time machine?

    1960s Japan. Contemporary Japan over Brazil too.

    Seeing we've got a time machine, might as well hit the cultural high spots...

    Bosa Nova days. Late 1950s / early 1960s Brazil (a period of relative prosperity and freedom, before a return to coups and juntas, which continued until the 1980s).
    Brasilia was built during this period and has featured memorably in a number of movies, such as "That Man From Rio". Would have made a great setting for a Bond movie too.

    Modern Japan was at it's peak economically in the 1980s, if that is the vibe required.
    As far as cultural contrast goes (i.e to facilitate "fish out of water" scenarios), that's always there in any decade.

    Probably 1960s Japan, despite a few (large) documented risks ..... :))

    '60s Tokyo. It just feels so cool, so intoxicating, with a great aesthetic that's summed up in that sleek white Toyota. And I love the way the girls looked too!

    1960s Tokyo for me

    Although, given a free choice, I’d go for early 1950s Cuba

    If I were single, Brazil. Now? Japan. Have been to Brazil and it is an amazing country, but a bit much for a young family. Japan has as much intrigued me, as repelled, as it has been the source of so much misery in my family. Still, especially during the sixties, it would have been fascinating to visit.

    Maybe, but personal tastes and interests and all that. I'm more curious about Japan than Brazil.
