Great names there! Great that Lynch is directing after all and will helm all the episodes which are more than 9 now, it is said. In fact I'm pretty sure I read that they'd be 18 episodes instead of the original 9 that were planned but I haven't re…

I'm still yet to read 'Shoot To Kill". Looking forward to it. "Heads You Die", hmmm. Yet another title with "die" or "kill" in it. Boring. At least the adult Bond books aren't currently suffering from this.

I certainly enjoyed it and will probably see it again in a couple of weeks time. My only gripes with this film are that the plot was a bit of a mess, as others have said but it only hindered my overall enjoyment of the film a little. Plus, even tho…

I didn't like the "saving the world" remarks that Pussy made to Bond.

@PussyNoMore Yes, I agree, Westbrook's and Higson's efforts are wonderful. I wish they would contract Higson or Horowitz to write about Bond's adventures during the war, leading up to him being recruited into the service. Then , his early assign…

I have to say though, I won't be surprised if Craig leaves of course, so I'm preparing for the official message.

Tigger Mortis is the best adult Bond novel since the first five Gardner books and I am certainly a fan of the latter's earlier efforts. Maybe even the best since the Fleming books (I like Colonel Sun but I'm not as much of a fan of the book as othe…

If they're going to have a new Blofeld back but a different actor, then I think that they should have him shrouded in shadow for the entire film. They could have some dialogue suggesting that he has developed a complex regarding his wounds and can'…

That would be interesting having the first woman to direct a Bond film. I've always wondered why there aren't more female directors around. I really hope Craig will return. I will feel short changed if he doesn't return, content if he returns fo…

"Craig is adamant it will have to be a strong script that further develops the character, not just a bankrolling epilogue." It will have to damn well be a strong, character driven script, especially after the weak Spectre. It still bothers me to…

"No, and it's done very well financially, but some of the gags and conveniences that showed up that others may refer to as 'classic bond' are the stuff that the general population points out as contrivance." @TellyBlofeld I agree. The modern au…

@bondjames No worries. I'm not sure if a reboot is necessary but I wouldn't necessarily be against one. There's no real continuity in the Bond series. My main two gripes with this film are that I just hate the whole personal connection regarding…

These guys get some of their facts wrong but I agree with the gist of what they're saying: As entertaining as SPECTRE is, the script is just so weak. It's disappointing that after having a couple of dark, relatively character driven movies w…

I saw The Force Awakens for a second time last night and my opinion hasn't changed. It's entertaining but there's really nothing in this film that stands out for me. It seems very formulaic and just feels like a case of crossing all the t's and do…
