  • Haha, great post @Pierce2Daniel. Agree with it all. Especially the part about the narrative turning quickly. You'd have to stretch very, very far to crap on this choice. I'm more excited today than I've been at any point in B25's cycle -- includi…

  • So happy about the news. Welcome to the Bond family, Cary! Some quick-hit speculations from me: -I never thought they'd go for this kind of shooting/release shift. That they would choose a (mere) three month delay vs. summer or November tells …
  • I laughed very hard at that, @RC7.

  • The fun part of speculating is also the downside of speculating. We can't know for sure what's happening right now, no matter how strongly we want to proclaim it. I think if we all try and remember that, the discussion will be healthier for it. R…

  • Back to a Bond 25 observation. Not that I can predict the future, but: Despite the existential angst we're all drowning in as a result of this month's developments, I'm sort of tickled by how many recent assumptions-posing-as-reporting (even if t…

  • Bravo, @Benny. You're touching on problems that seem to be plaguing many fandom(s) across the board at the moment. I can't say I've loved every creative choice made by my favorite franchises over the last decade, but I also can't imagine harborin…

  • "Bond 25's release date is unchanged" won't get you clicks though. "Gulp, it might be delayed!" has a better chance. ;)
