Good topic. I’d personally be up for a doc about the SFX work in the Bond franchise throughout the years. Or perhaps one about actors who nearly became Bond/auditioned or were considered for the role but didn't get it (which I suppose would go into …

I don't think any Bond film has fundamentally strayed from the formula. Sure, the Craig era shook things up a bit, but on a fundamental level it's all there. Bond girls (they may not necessarily end up with Bond, but they're there), villains, Bond b…

Well, with hindsight I suppose Fleming deciding to write a script with Kevin McClory in 1958 was a pretty bad decision… or at the very least a consequential one.

Dickinson’s a bit young I think, but to be fair to him he gives the impression of being older. I think he’d potentially be a good choice, but very much an unexpected one.

I think we'll get Bond more or less established as 007 in the next one, albeit perhaps with a bit of context behind things like the 00 section and his relationship with this new M. It's pretty similar to what we got with DN, and actually CR. I mean …
-
I suppose an element of it is that Bond is an underdog of sorts. It's not that he's the strongest, smartest, the most dedicated to going to the gym etc. If anything he does fall into bad habits and sometimes has a less than satisfactory standard of …

I hate this AI 1950s trailer video trend. They have the laziest narration and shot choices (this one literally called 007 'zero-zero seven, which is a very AI thing to do). I guess it's kinda cool seeing how it renders specific characters, but this …

Bond's a bit of a bastard no doubt, and he doesn't see morality as black and white, but he's not unlikeable, neither is he an anti-hero. If anything it's the fact that he's likeable and ultimately virtuous which makes his character work.

I wouldn't dismiss NTTD's memorability just yet. I mean, in truth I don't think any Bond film has been unmemorable in the eyes of the fandom, and there's that old saying that 'every Bond film is at least one person's favourite in the series'. For a …

I think it’s fair to say the next actor will have to work out/do some sort of physical routine to prepare. Like I said it comes with the territory, and in itself exercise/getting into shape really isn’t a bad thing at all (I personally hate going to…

Entrapment isn't one of Connery's best. So Thomas Crown for me.
