That’s more a slight ‘logic hole’ (if it even is one) you get with Bond movies in general. Most people really don’t realise it in the moment, and I suspect pretty much all that bring it up (me included) were either told about it second hand or thoug…

Carter wasn’t a perfect President, but his post-Presidency definitely seemed well fulfilled. I actually also really like his Crisis of Confidence speech (I really can’t see any US President today giving such a speech today, and in some ways it’s a b…

To be fair I don't think any director can make an actor give a good or bad performance. It's just not something they can fully control (or at least micromanage). At the end of the day it's about the actor's capabilities, how they interpret the mater…

I wouldn't call Craig in the prison scene bad, but he's giving a very specific interpretation of the material (it's less restrained, let's say, compared to some of his previous Bond scenes, and that feeds into the idea that his Bond is a bit older, …

Imagine how twisted that relationship would be! It could definitely work. Sometimes in Bond films multiple main villains aren't a benefit to the story, so perhaps a pair of having that connection (or a relationship of some sort) could make it more i…

I'd say Silva's island and the SPECTRE Cuba meeting were some of the most atmospheric villain's lairs in the series. Not just the spectacle but the otherworldliness to them and the jaunty but creepy music playing etc. I'd love to see that similar mi…

That's true. At the end of the day Bond films are created through a long process of coming up with a direction and story, writing a script, getting a director, and the many other aspects of production. It's perhaps a more organic process than we're …

Maybe it's the terminology. A 'serious' and 'comedic' Bond don't really tell us much, and Bond films aren't completely black and white in this way even if they skew towards certain tones. I don't think we'll get something like MR for Bond 26. It'…

Maybe. I just don't see any reason why everything about the Craig era would be abandoned for Bond 26. After all, aspects of what went into the Craig era were there in the Brosnan era (I mean, just look at the plot similarities between SF and TWINE a…

The actor doesn't need to (and likely won’t) portray Bond in the same way Craig did. LALD isn’t a million miles away from DAF - or at least there’s no inherent course correction there - but Moore is certainly a different Bond to Connery. DAF is also…

Every actor brings their own touch to the role. Bond’s a character with all those sides to him anyway - a gentlemanly streak along with a cruelty, that mix of humour and darkness etc. I don’t think we’ll ever get another Moore in the same way we’ll …

Fall Guy didn’t land I suspect because no reason was given for anyone to see it in the cinema. I didn’t see it because I knew I’d watch it later on streaming. I know it’s a fun little movie, but it wasn’t an ‘event film’ like Dune 2 or Barbie/Oppenh…

I don’t think it would happen. Even Amazon know Bond is profitable in the cinema. But if it hypothetically did happen then I can imagine you’d get lower scale/budget films. It might give us that 50s Bond film some fans (but few general viewers) s…
