Yes, Bond in shorts isn’t uncommon. Bond in dungarees on the other hand… I’ll say never again to that.

I would say that, for better or worse, EON are responsible for what we associate with the cinematic James Bond. They created the modern version of the character, at least in tandem with all the talented individuals who’ve worked for them. Without th…

The annoying thing is there’s genuinely a really good point in there about how Craig’s Bond uses his sexuality in a more forward way compared to most of his predecessors. Throughout the first three films he sleeps with women in order to attain somet…

Comparing Dalton to Craig in terms of their delivery, I hope we can all agree it’s a tragedy we never got an accent slip from Craig on the level of ‘things were about to turn naaasty’.

How about citing the amount of times Craig did similar though? In SF he barely says anything during the exchange with M when they’re in Scotland/she brings up his childhood, and yet his expressions tell so much. You can see it as well during the wor…

But we haven’t gotten the name of a director/anything like that. So he was wrong. In fairness he does specify it’s him speculating and it could be right or wrong. Can’t say anything else about the guy as I don’t watch him (I’m fine with Bond fans gi…

Who is ‘the guy from YouTube’ out of curiosity?

Agreed, it’s great stunt work. But it’s also worth noting how the sequence deviates from what we get in the novel and why. In the novel Vesper has a full on mental breakdown. The book almost becomes a melodrama at this point before she kills herself…

To give Craig and the other actors credit I think they deliver some pretty ropey lines exceptionally well. The half monk half hitman stuff always felt a bit unnatural and contrived for Craig’s Bond, who was rather straight to the point and sarcastic…

I suppose the idea of Silva constantly being one step ahead, getting captured only to break out, and having a rather meticulous plan is quite a timely concept. The Dark Knight had Joker getting captured only to escape and there were similar contriva…

One plot hole, if you can call it that, that always confused me is the one in TSWLM where Sandor shoots the girl after she screams no. Like, was she meant to distract Bond or is she being held at gunpoint against her will? Did Sandor accidentally sh…
