Yeah in Fleming there's less of that casual 'swinging 60s' sexuality that's really prominent in the first movies. The only times I can recall anything similar to the GF barn scene are Bond kissing the nurse in TB (similar to the film), and Bond swim…

Personally, I think TB is the most boring film of the series. Always have done. I can understand why some people would have criticisms with the Kentucky scenes in GF, but I do think it adapts the source material very well all things considered. W…

A male Moneypenny would be essentially a different character as a big part of her movie incarnation is to have that chemistry/flirtatious banter with Bond. It's even the case with Harris' Moneypenny in SF to an extent. As I've said in the past, I…

The Wilson audition is strange, but as was said she's not an actress miles away from Daisy May Cooper. Personally, I think having Cooper makes much more sense as a comic relief or Q type character than Wilson (not sure her brand of improvised humour…

Not sure about the idea that depicting a woman in a 'sexy light' is problematic nowadays. It's simply to do with the framing of it. There are ways of depicting women and men's relationships with them (the early Bond films being examples) that I'm su…

The Bourne films left their mark on the Craig era no doubt, but especially QOS. It’s a very ‘post 9/11’ film in the sense that there’s a lot of focus on the potential for Governments/agencies (or the ‘good guys’ as they usually are in a Bond film) t…
