An updated version of Lolelia could work. I always felt the banter between them in MR was something that humanised Bond. It's interesting seeing him interact with a co-worker (and a female one at that) who he seems to have genuine and mutual affecti…

Moving swiftly on... Not my suggestion, but a friend of mine seems to like the idea of Jacob Collins-Levy as a possible contender. 30 years old, Australian, been in stuff like The White Princess and The Witcher: Blood Origin. Not seen him in anyt…

Yes, must admit this is one of the more unnecessary arguments I've seen on this forum... and I remember the great 'can Bond be played by a black actor' and 'is the face in the SF title sequence a child' arguments of '22.... ByRoyalDecree wrote: »…

I suppose Bond holding his stomach after the tarantula sequence is a nod to the centipede scene in the novel where he’s quite violently sick after. As for the rest, there are a few moments in Connery’s films where that vulnerability comes through…

Like I said before - probably during that conversation mentioned - Connery's portrayal of Bond was a consciously rather ironic and even tongue in cheek interpretation. As he said himself, he went into it with the intention of making fun of the conce…

Not sure if Norton interests me as a candidate personally but that’s not necessarily a criticism of him. He’s very good in Happy Valley.

It's worth saying that when directors or certain films are influenced by Hitchcock it doesn't necessarily mean they set out to make films using Hitchcock's 'style' (so as was stated we don't often get the likes of Brian De Palma's early films which,…

It'll be interesting seeing how much 'social commentary' (for a lack of a better phrase) will bleed through into Bond 26. There's always an element of it in any film to differing extents, even in the most escapist of stories. I can certainly see a g…

It'll be interesting seeing where they go with the next one. The Batman was such an interesting film and it left so many threads open that could easily be picked up.

‘Shitty peasants from Hampshire’ is simultaneously one of the most French and one of the most upper class English insults I’ve ever heard.
