I quite like a good M/Bond briefing. I’d prefer one for the next film that only involves M and Bond in the room (gives the mission a sense of secrecy. It’s not quite the same when you have a bunch of old men in the room as the Moore era tended to do.

I remember watching an interview with Daniel Craig where he talked about how he wanted to play Bond differently to his predecessors. According to him he wanted his portrayal to be 'humourless' which ironically got a bit of a laugh. I personally d…

I think the thing about CR '67 is that it wasn't necessarily meant to be a straightforward spoof in the way that even Austin Powers is. It's less a piss take of the tropes of the Bond movies and more a subversion of the idea of James Bond as a chara…

Best - GE. Despite the geography that makes no sense (although honestly, who cares) I think this is one of the best introductions to a new Bond. Worst - TWINE. It’s not bad. I don’t even mind the length, it just lacks a bit of that Bondian vibran…

I’m of the opinion that I wouldn’t want to wish away a Bond film. So one more Brosnan film… But I will say I think everything worked out for the best as it did.

Yep. There’s no definitive version of the screen Bond. It would actually be quite depressing if one or two actors were put in that status while the others were seen as imitators to their greatness.

In DAF’s defence its main problem is that it’s badly made (bad dubbing, awful choreography etc - the later Hamilton films really have some atrocious filmmaking at times). The pace of the sequence itself is actually ok, and I think as a PTS it bridge…

Staying out of this one 😂 Don’t want a repeat of this debate from ‘22. Was a dark time, no news of the next Bond film, only brief tabloid rumours to keep us going… … actually it was pretty much the same as now come to think of it. Oh well…

Well, in fairness Craig’s eyes were quite extraordinary. It’s not just that they were blue, but an icy blue which was very similar to the vibe of Fleming’s Bond. It just kinda stood out with his face and complimented his features. Gave him that extr…

I always say that fate would never have given us a dark, revenge driven follow up to OHMSS. I don’t think Lazenby could have sold something a bit different (hell, I’m not sure if he even sells himself that well in OHMSS). Dalton on the other hand…

I’m surprised the scene with Bond and May Day in AVTAK hasn’t been mentioned in this discussion yet. Not to say it’s the same as the barn scene in GF, but I do know people who find that scene a bit odd. I think it’s safe to say we’re not likely to h…
