I’d go as far to say that SF has one of the best opening shots of all time. But yeah, it’s a great PTS. Genuinely remember the first time I ever watched it. It felt like Bond had literally died. Obviously we’ve seen fake Bond deaths in the series be…

I'm in two minds about Villeneuve as well to be honest. He's very talented, but his films lack something for me, and I sometimes find they can be a bit lifeless/a touch boring. But that's just me, and I'm sure many would disagree. If he were picked …

Oh yeah, the Tomato Lady! I always thought that was just a way of getting in some humour. I actually don't mind that to be honest. It's not the best placed moment tonally (a lot of the time the double taking pigeons or drunk men looking at their …

I always thought White was more a field guy than the main boss. I don't think it would have worked making him Blofeld, but I do appreciate that he was brought back. I actually think it's one of the better decisions in SP. Anyway, I personally hop…

I'd be up for different authors writing short stories from different time periods, yes. It'd be a nice nod to Bond's longevity/the fact that it has been through so many different iterations. You could even have Anthony Horowitz or even Raymond Be…

I always thought Bourne was inspired by something that happened to Ludlum or someone he knew in real life (something about him losing his memory for 12 hours? I'm sure there's a backstory but I don't know it fully, or have ironically forgotten). The…

It's a bit like the '62-'02 films I guess. Each author's era is its own thing. To be honest, the Bond of Gardner, Benson, and Horowitz for me doesn't come across as the same character from Fleming. That's not necessarily a criticism by the way. Bond…

I'm actually ok with Brosnan's little underwater tie adjustment. It's just one of those nice little tongue in cheek Bond moments, similar to Craig's cuff adjustment after the train jump in SF. I do agree about the hotel scene in DAD though. Anywa…

I'm in two minds about how much pre-planning should go into an era to be honest. I understand that a lot of work went into SP/NTTD to retroactively connect it to the early Craig films, but I think it was for the best that SPECTRE was brought back in…

The Craig era changed a lot as the films progressed. I’ve always said I don’t think we’ll see a tonal shift quite as big as what we got with CR as there’s no creative need to do so (there’s no rival series filling a gap Bond isn’t, and the newer fil…
