I need to read more Burgess. Only two I've read are A Clockwork Orange and Tremor of Intent. His script of TSWLM is an endless source of fascination for me (the whole thing sounds bonkers, but I can sort of see the tone he was going for from both Tr…

I guess if we're going to live in a world where technology can do these sorts of things, this is what I'd personally like it to be used for. These videos are genuinely great though.

I will give it to The Batman, it's an expertly made film. There's a lot to be said about the cinematography and visual storytelling, but I think the sound design is amazing too and is unfortunately often overlooked in most films anyway. The way the …

It's definitely one of Fleming's best novels, and obviously it got the ball rolling with regards to the literary Bond series. I love the opening particularly where Fleming describes the smoke and smell of sweat in the casino, and we're then introduc…

I think from the producer's perspective, the writing was on the wall. It wasn't the fact that the Bond series was unsuccessful (financially it certainly wasn't) but I suspect the mixed critical reaction to the last few films, as well as I presume fa…

I think I put it 7th. It's one I enjoy a lot. While CR ranks a bit higher, this is an excellent follow up, and for me is the first time Fleming begins to understand how to write a James Bond novel. In comparison to the low key, almost character dram…

I'm sure it wasn't an easy conversation to have, and I can see why Pierce felt he was being 'kicked to the curb', but it was definitely the right thing to do. I remember seeing these sorts of headlines from Brosnan at the time. It's a shame, because…

I'm not someone bothered about which editions I own personally. The Fleming novels I do have are all different editions. One of the older ones I have is a nice hardback Book Club edition of GF, the one with the titular character's profile on the rig…

I'm not sure if the distinction between being a 'tv' actor or a film one is as big as it used to be, at least not with the type of roles/work Hughes does. Brosnan and Moore both came from TV and I'd argue brought much of their experience and acting …

Indeed. At risk of internet stalking an actor whom I admire, simply for the purposes of judging his appearance, there are other pictures of him which might support that. Anyway, like I said, I think the series will need a different ki…

Tom Hughes has been on my list of potential Bond choices for a while now. The Game really stands out because Hughes plays a relatively Bondian character, or at least in a Fleming-esque sense. He plays a man who essentially does the 'dirty work' of M…
