  • It would feel a bit pointless. I'm not sure if Travelyan, great as he is, is popular or iconic enough to generate enough interest in such a show. Even if it could be drummed up, I know what eventually happens to him from GE, and so for me personally…
  • I really like the DB5 during the Matera chase in NTTD. It's very much the 'supercar' envisioned in GF (first time since then it's really given me that impression in Bond) but at the same time it feels like Bond has to use his skill and wits during t…

  • Blofeld got his eye fixed prior to OHMSS in order to disguise himself. Prior to that he’d been blind in one eye. When he saw Bond in YOLT he literally didn’t have his full vision…. Or something… 😉

  • I think the nature of James Bond is that they’re so individualistic as adventures (yes, even when they have an explicit overarching continuity like the early Connery, Craig, and Fleming novels did), often with very conscious changes in direction tha…
  • The Craig era is no more sullied for me than the Connery era was for having films like TB and YOLT which I didn’t enjoy as much as the others nor didn’t think necessarily made the best creative choices (or arguably lived up to the promise of the fir…

  • 😂 At risk of taking this thread too seriously, I think it’s interesting that so many viewers seem to subconsciously put braces onto Dolly. It makes sense. It’s almost a visual similarity begging to be made, and she kinda has that nerdy/younger look …
  • I feel at this point EON should just digitally put some braces on Dolly in any subsequent release of MR. It'd make so much more sense than whatever the heck's going on in the actual film, haha (something to do with their height apparently).
  • I like his voice and mannerisms, and he’s a good looking guy. I don’t think being slim is a problem and working out is something the next actor will very likely do anyway. He’s also 28 I think, so while young he might have a year or two to mature. …

  • I can take or leave Campbell. The key to Bond films is that they're collaborative and have many different talents going into them. The director is one piece of that, and Campbell understands these films, even if he's made some duds recently. He seem…
  • I can see them doing a thing in the future where a previous 007 to Bond is referenced (could even be the villain if they wanted to re-explore the rogue 00 concept). Anyway, I’d be interested to know more of the stuff about those early CR drafts. It …

  • There’s a new Bridget Jones film? Wow. That was my biggest revelation about that article.
  • I liked his ‘05 performance in the test footage, but if I’m being critical I’d say it’s a touch too far into Sherlock Holmes than Bond. He’s very confident but in that more gentlemanly, cordial way, and I think his performance with his moving gazes …
  • Yes, that annoyed me a bit too! Presumably it's an interview with the Chief of Marketing. I've popped some of the Q and As about the Bond game into Google Translate so this the jist of it: Q: I actually had questions on the subject. This is th…
