I will always be grateful OHMSS didn't star RM. Though I wouldn't have been convinced of it at the time, I am also glad it didn't star SC.

For me it always comes down to what makes a Bond film memorable. What are those iconic moments? Who are those iconic characters? Which scenes do I delight in seeing again? NTTD's best scene is the one featuring Paloma. It is not a film I dislike, bu…

OHMSS shares equal billing at the top of my Bond film list with Casino Royale. As for Blofeld not recognizing Bond, I don't care. I did once. But I long ago came to terms with the fact that the filmmakers didn't care as much about continuity and det…

CR 67 & NSNA? Not seeing how this is a comparison. So I can't weigh in on this question.

For me The Brofeld angle poisons the well with respect to Blofeld past, present, and future. I can't watch an old film without thinking a future Bond will discover Blofeld is his adopted brother. Yes, I know one Bond series is not regarded as a cont…

As nobody apparently knows anything, speculation is bound to be rife. I am intrigued by the notion that BB says they haven't started to think about Bond 26 yet. Then she goes on to say rethinking Bond always happens when a new actor is brought in. S…

Perhaps Bond 26 can be an ordinary bloke who's not especially attractive, a little overweight and definitely doesn't turn the heads of attractive women when he walks into a room. He doesn't try to have it on with anyone because he knows women aren't…

Cheesy writing made worse by a weak actress.

Not for a second did I buy DR in the role. For me it comes down to this. Of all the actresses known and those unknown, she was the best choice? Even if every known actress wanted was unavailable, she was still the best?

Can a James Bond Theme Park be far behind? Dr. No's undersea aquarium. The Orient Express travels around the park loading and unloading passengers. The Aston Martin ejector seat ride. The Thunderball shark experience. The SPECTRE volcano roller coas…

"Why are there sex scenes in the Bond novels and films?" Perhaps then we can bring this discussion into sharper focus.

I am speaking of younger men in general and possible younger directors in the future of the series. I am trying to understand if you are saying there is a difference between the attitudes of older men and younger men with respect to sex.
-
@MakeshiftPython Do you see younger men as having a different attitude about sex? Younger directors downplaying Bond's sexcapades? If so, why? . When I watch a Bond film I don't keep track of his number of conquests. I don't care. I never forget …

@DarthDimi At the ages you describe, I can imagine a lot of teens being most uncomfortable with such discussions with a school teacher irrespective of how science based that discussion was.

I take exception to the speculation that Bond's on screen sexual exploits during the sixties was the work of horny old men, middle aged men in mid-life crises, and old man fantasies. It's an offensive characterization. How about speculating that you…

If men got it where they could back in the day, where are men getting it today? Are you talking about the accessibility of porn or sex? Is there something wrong with old guys having sexual fantasies? Does a middle age man thinking about hot women co…

Plenty of speculation about Fleming, directors, and writers with respect to Bond and sex. Any proof how the writers were feeling, or of an old man's fantasies, or whether or not directors in the 60s were having some sort of middle aged crises?

Turning to GE for inspiration doesn't feel very inspired, especially for a series looking to move forward and reinvent itself.
-
Not wanting to pay for the rights to a continuation novel is one thing, but as far as quality, the few continuation novels I've read are as engaging as anything original screenplays have offered.

The moment the decision was made to kill Bond, the producers knew the series was headed in a new direction. That was long before filming of NTTD concluded. Nothing I've read to date or the strike convinces me there hasn't been time to plan for the n…

A young Bond is fine. But not some pretty boy who is all physique and no real acting ability.

Listen for it when he hits the beams in CR and other times when he hits the ground.
