To be fair I think it’s a bit like seeing QOS as a revenge film. I’d argue it’s no more about that than it is about Bond becoming Bond. I think it’s actually one of those things some people misunderstand about the film. It’s simply a continuation of…

Executives at Amazon: ‘Who?’ Looks like James Nelson-Joyce but with blond hair. Never heard of this guy.

To be fair I think Bond tropes are what make the films what they are. Sure, CR played around with the elements a bit (although for what it’s worth it did do the typical ‘set up and pay off’ you get with gadgets with the defibrillator, and there was …

In this very particular corner of the internet/Bond fandom... I guess... for the moment. But it's anyone's guess if he'll get the role or how he'd hypothetically do during an audition. I'm a fan of his though. I'd be happy if he were Bond.

I will say there's a difference between understanding (or trying to understand) why something was written, or getting to grips with why someone held particular views, and outright ignoring them. With Fleming, for example, it's possible to acknowl…

It’s meant to begin filming this month I believe. No idea exactly what’s going on with it/how long it’ll take (unless they’re shooting for 2 solid years straight which would be odd. I suspect he’d be needed to varying degrees for these four films an…

I mean, there probably is a list of names around that includes these three for Bond… in fact I’d be worried if they didn’t have that at this point. They’ll be thinking about all the potential choices they could go with. mtm wrote: » Yes Sir Joh…

Maybe, and I guess with film and Bond fans the director’s name can be quite exciting. But I think for the average person it’s not as big a deal. Hell, just going with Nolan, I know people who went to see Oppenheimer and didn’t recognise Nolan’s name…

To be fair I think we take for granted just how much the filmmaking quality alone has improved if we’re talking about A-list talent behind the camera. I like many of Hamilton’s Bond movies, but they include some pretty jarring technical mistakes and…

Pretty sure Charmian’s meant to be dead by Bond’s adulthood (I guess they can do whatever though, but I think it’s better to keep Bond a lone wolf with no family). The problem with May is that she adds little unless she’s really integrated into the …

I maintain there is precedent for the arse chin with Bond. Lazenby and Dalton had them. Not quit sure about the long neck! But I’m also not a fan of picking apart little details without seeing the bigger picture. Anyway, it’ll depend on auditi…
