  • Personally, one of the things I like about QOS is that it's not a straightforward revenge story. In fact, Bond seems pretty level headed throughout the mission, albeit spurred on by Vesper's death. It's MI6, the CIA etc. who are either one step behi…
  • Thing about Cillian Murphy is he's such a good actor that he could conceivably play Bond (or at least could have if he were a bit younger) or a villain. Honestly, I can imagine him in a future Bond film as the latter.

  • I can sort of see why, if this is true, they're going that way. A lot of Joker was about Arthur's delusions/fantasies anyway (I'm sure this will pan out more along the lines of Dancer in The Dark than The Sound of Music), and the film certainly paid…

  • @Jordo007 That's an interesting thought. Something to note about DAF as well is that while it's a very silly (some would say stupid) and rather camp film at times, there is arguably an element to it that feels more stripped back and low key than its…

  • Yes, the truth is 'listening to fans' will come out with a lot of different opinions, many of which clash with each other. This is especially the case when fans (myself included) come up with specific ideas - the exact villain they want to see, the …

  • To be fair, as referential as it is, I like the idea of Bond keeping the DB5 from CR and sort of 'jazzing it up' with all these elaborate gadgets. Kind of like what he did with his Bentley and the turbo charger in the novels. In a sense too it's not…

  • Interesting. It's a far cry from the early days of Cubby where he seems to (or at least claimed to have) met his first few Bonds at parties or something, haha. It sounds very similar to Craig though in the sense that early on he was the stand-out am…
