I think even Waltz said that he wasn't happy with his performance as Blofeld in SP and wanted to correct this in NTTD... I don't really know what happened as he didn't do anything noticeably different in the latter film, and still very much played B…

Do you think after Craig they'll be looking for and trying to audition actors who are of a higher calibre though? The Bond series has actually been rather lucky with the acting chops of their leads. Of course, Craig and Dalton are the most notable f…

I'm a big fan of Film Noir. Many of my favourites have been listed already (personally I'm really partial to Touch of Evil, Double Indemnity, The Third Man and Sweet Smell of Success). One I've not seen mentioned as much is Night and The City (Dir. …

I don't know about the fans, but I know from talking with friends when the Idris Elba rumours started coming out that the idea of him as Bond was actually rather popular. Remember, Elba was in Luther which was well received, and was starring in film…

I've always said that QOS feels Fleming-esque in some places, intentional or not. The water supply plot seems on the surface a bit bland for a Bond story, but it acts as a vehicle for Bond to slowly uncover these characters/schemes, much as the gold…

I agree, there should be some dark humour in the next one! My thoughts on this as of late are that what we'll get for Bond 26 might be akin to going from OHMSS to the early 70s Bond films. DAF was silly in places, and LALD was certainly a lot lig…

As a hypothetical, what if a non-white actor has the appearance of Fleming's Bond? As much as the others do anyway. The black hair, six foot tall, classically handsome in a cruel sort of way, even the comma of hair etc. They even embody the part rat…

I actually liked the fact that we got little glimpses into the MI6 team's lives during the Craig era. Nothing too overt, just little snippets like Q's flat and his date, M and her husband (who also seemed to die between QOS and SF? Good little detai…

Would it have been better if Craig's last Bond film had been SP? I'd say that ultimately depends on how Bond 26 turns out.

My music choices are all over the place but I've recently gotten into Mitski. This one's my favourite. Kinda want to see her do a Bond theme one day. Anyway, great songwriter.

Connery certainly had that natural screen presence and approach to playing Bond... but yes, as years go by whenever I watch his later films (TB onwards) it gets harder and harder to watch him when compared to how marvellous he was in his first three…

@ToTheRight Arguably it matters in a creative sense. Elba looks good but he does looks like a man in his late 40s/early 50s. It'd be the same if a 25 year old got the role - the implications for this iteration of the character, the creative decision…

Fair play though, 'Sleep of the Dead' is a terrible title for a Bond film.
