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…

I’m sure these things are often more simple than we make them out to be. If EON are interested in certain actors (and of course they seemingly were very interested in Craig) then they’ll approach and try to convince them to audition. That’s all ther…

I'm sure the producers at EON know of him. But he may well not be what they're looking for. He might also be. It really depends. I don't think he's interested though. There's really no game to play at this point.

God, the songs for Connery's films are all brilliant. I guess the worst would have to be FRWL. Nothing against it, just my least favourite of the bunch. Best... I'm gonna go YOLT. But it's close.

Honestly, the barn scene in GF and the scene with the nurse in TB are, at best, crudely humorous (my go to line whenever I've watched them with people is 'this a me-too moment waiting to happen' or something along these lines) and at worst uncomfort…

Even then, some people would argue Bond's more hero than anti-hero I suppose... or at least he's not traditionally one or the other.
