Craig was a good Bond, but not the quintessential Bond. I never felt he was ever a relaxed Bond. There always seems an underlying tension even in those lighter moments. For me a lighter Bond means less psychological anguish, not more jokes.

Unrelated, but a cheeky call back to the end of NTTD. Example: Bond and a female are on a mission. They are seemingly trapped. A bad guy sets off a fiery explosion. Bond and the woman are surely incinerated. Suddenly from the fireball an Aston races…

@Peter - any actor playing James Bond should look like a man that when he hits, he does damage. Which is one of the reasons RM never convinced me he was JB. He was too prim and dapper. But his was a different Bond and who nonetheless was very succes…

I think the film will be remembered as, "Oh, yeah, wasn't that the film where they killed Bond?" The Paloma scene was great, but was that enough to make the film one of the standouts in Bond film history? It's certainly doesn't rank up there with CR…

I prefer a writer who hasn't written spin-off versions of Bond. Risico007 wrote: » CrabKey wrote: » Risico007 wrote: » That hurt On the plus side i am going to read Toys by James patterson its supposedly more action packed then Bond or…

Bond already had that going for him. Killing him off served no purpose other than to serve a script that could be gone in other directions.

Without a hint of rumor, is it possible nothing is going on behind the scenes of Bond 26?

I wish NTTD could have been what the first film wasn't, a faithful adaptation of the novel. It wouldn't have been a remake as the original film barely recognized the novel.

For me part of the success of the Bond films is the periodic changing of actors. I hated it the first time it happened, but it was inevitable and I got used to it, even if I didn't care for RM and PB as Bonds. With the exception of the story arc dur…

@007HallY - Fair enough. As a matter of interest, of those top 10, which did you see?

There's no easy answer here. There are projects that reside unformed in one's mind, those on paper that are incomplete, those that are complete and have been rejected, and those published that have gone nowhere. To date I have three published nov…

This old person doesn't mind sitting in a darkened cinema for 2-3 hours if a film is worth my time, which there seems to be less of these days. Of the box office top 200 films in 2023, I saw 17 of those films, only five of which interested me eno…

Talkative patrons flashing smartphones would be better phrased. But does gossiping women really count as a dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women?

As I am not in the film industry, I suppose I am an average man on the street. (Maybe being a Bond fan exempts me from completely AMOTS.) A Bond film making money is important to me, otherwise films will stop being made.

As we have heard nothing from BB, I'm not ready to credit her with being shrewd. She could easily be flummoxed. As for Nolan, is he that big with the 20 somethings and younger film goers?

I mentioned in an earlier post being on a flight with a couple of hundred film selections and it was almost impossible to find a film I wanted to see. Many I had seen already and of the things I hadn't it was F&F, Marvel, DC, kids animation, and…

I would like to see the stereotypes avoided. No way this woman is an old toad. She's not lusting for wealth. She was born into it. She's had her parents murdered to take over the family empire in order to get power and control. She's a relatively yo…
