  • Is it not possible that he's just put on weight?
  • I tell you, if Craig wants to be more light hearted and humourous like in Spectre, then I hope that he doesn't return.

  • It's a little difficult to imagine Graham Rye being wrong. I was a member of the James Bond 'British' then 'International' Fan club from the mid nineties to 2001. However, maybe he isn't on good terms with Eon anymore. I seldom see his face at th…
  • You know, at this point, I don't even really care who becomes Bond as long as he remains a white man. My major concern is the writing. I think that this whole personal Bond/Blofeld connection has tainted the series. What a bloody poor plot device…

  • That's a good point and a great line. However, I think we can go further in terms of food and beverages.

  • I never really got the impression that Craig was tired in the role in SP except when he was escaping from Blofeld's lair. He was strolling lazily out of there shooting the bad guys while they all missed him. This was probably the worst part of the…

  • bondjames wrote: » Yes @Bounine, check out The Night Manager. He's not playing Bond there, but rather someone more unsure of himself. However, he shows huge potential to be an excellent Bond actor in it. His High-Rise performance is excellent too,…

  • Not only should Horowitz write another Bond novel but he should also write the next Bond movie !
  • Julian, I mean Gillian Anderson is the latest star to jump on the Bond wagon. Scully Bond: http://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/movies/gillian-anderson-first-female-bond/#6i9W5RWsruF62WDK.97
  • Revenge should only be a small part of the story. Bond may not be aware of who killed or severely injured Madeline and is depressed about not having any luck in trying to find out who the culprits were for a small part of the story at the beginning…

  • Yeah, well, X Files could have been a lot better. Twin Peaks must have a good story, laced with the Lynchian surrealism. The second half of the second season was way too wishy washy. At the same time, I fear they can't get too weird otherwise mai…
