  • Apolitical=\=ignoring world events. It would be shocking if a land war in Europe and a test of the post-War alliances caused by rising nativism did not shape the direction of B26, much as "GoldenEye" was a response to the end of the Cold War or "…
  • Exciting! I love the score for "Licence to Kill". This will be a great release!

  • Continuity doesn't matter. It really doesn't. The audience knows that Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson are all different guys even though it is the same character.

  • I had a conspiracy theory that Amazon thought they were buying Bond outright when they bought MGM. Their early press releases emphasized Bond a lot, with the implication being there would be a whole number of spinoffs and projects. The implications …
  • > To friends, Broccoli has characterized her thoughts on Amazon this way: “These people are f— idiots.” My hero
  • Obviously it's all speculation and doesn't mean anything, but O'Connor would be a huge win for EON.

  • I am always amused by the "Skyfall stole from The Dark Knight" takes. The big one, as had been said earlier in the thread, is that TDK didn't come up with these tropes either. The other one is Nolan cribbed a lot of things from Bond in particular fo…
