I’d say a discussion about scripting/how the next Bond film will be written is relevant to this thread. It’s worth knowing a bit about it too to understand that.

I think it’s more about how Mallory’s character was handled. It’s a bit strange seeing the same character he became in SF/SP being so complicit in Heracles. To be honest Bond shouting and disrespecting him in that film is understandable, but it’s a …

I think a lot of it comes down to there needing to be something there in an M/Bond briefing to keep the viewer gripped. As I said, in the films they can actually be quite boring scenes if done simply for pure exposition. Usually we’ve seen what’s ha…

They’re gonna have to create a new M presumably, and with that they’ll have to create a new sort of relationship between him and Bond. That’s regardless of whether this M has a big part in the film or is only onscreen for a few scenes (I prefer the …

Weirdly, after seeing Challengers a couple of days ago, I feel I've kinda gone off of O'Connor for Bond. Which is strange considering I've generally been positive about him. I wasn't a huge fan of the film in general mind, and I've really liked him …

I think there’s always a sense that Bond exists in the real world, even if he doesn’t directly take on specific threats (ie. The Cold War was very much in the background of the Bond series from ‘62-94, and without it you’d loose a bit of context. 9/…
