I don’t really care about that either, but have there not been real life stories - even recently- where lists of undercover agents were leaked?
-
Maybe. I guess... But I’d say all of them have look different and distinct from each other regardless.

The good thing about FRWL is that it goes into so little detail about the background stuff to decoding that it’s easy for viewers to go along with it. It’s a device that will benefit the British if they get it. Fine. The Lektor is a typical McGuf…

I genuinely don’t understand. Why is Bond walking across the room after shooting the extinguishers smug? I also have no idea what you’re saying with the Bond being punished for it idea…. In the context of the film Bond making it to the inquiry an…

Perhaps if they announce anything tomorrow that’ll be it. Would make sense.

If he were picked I’d give him the benefit of the doubt, as I would do anyone that’s picked for this role. But I really don’t get a strong screen presence from him unfortunately. I just don’t see anything special about him as an actor, and as I said…

I think if they're not trying to make the best Bond film they possibly can, there's no point. I could be wrong, but regardless of what kind of film we end up with I think that'll be their mentality rather than a 'let's just do a regular Bond adventu…

I mean, it's hypothetical anyway (although I like it as a theory and I think Cuaron is very capable of bridging a new era from the Craig one in the way described, insofar as the later Craig films have a lot going on in them tonally). Cuaron has hand…
-
To be fair I'm pretty sure a lot of people here who like the Craig films still criticise things like the Blofeld subplot in SP and aspects of NTTD. As well as a number of other things. I do certainly. It's also worth saying that certain ideas can be…
-
I'd probably use the term 'fatalistic' rather than 'nihilistic' to describe these aspects of the Craig films. There's more than a tinge of it in Fleming and many of the previous Bond films too (I guess it's kinda vital to these stories - the villain…

I suppose Egerton's whole thing in Kingsmen is he's a character who's the opposite of Bond who... well, becomes a sort of James Bond character. I don't see that as being totally different to what's happened with all of the actors who've played this …
-
I think there are way more good candidates than many of us here think. I suspect the issue is not all of them have had a 'Bondian' role that allows us - and probably even the people casting - to more easily picture them in the role, so it's a potent…

Might just be me, but the closest I can see to a Robert Pattinson type in terms of Bond potentials is maybe Harris Dickinson (just a similar vibe/presence, acting roles he’s done, appeal amongst women etc). I’d say he’s not an unlikely option (altho…
