  • Some updates from Charlie Higson: https://twitter.com/monstroso/status/1649677505480065025 On more Bond books from him. https://twitter.com/monstroso/status/1649735044049584129
  • I think that Blofeld will be harder to cast, than to write, in the future. The character can truly improve in more ways than one. He can be done in the modern day, with a mixture of great acting and writing.

  • Overall, as Cubby Broccoli once said, that "I can't say there is a single [Bond film] I'd like to completely redo if I had the chance, although there are parts of The Man With the Golden Gun I'd change." There are minor things throughout Bond’s mult…

  • As for Charlie Higson and the future. I hope he writes more modern day novels, and possibly a spinoff novel for a character. He listed Blofeld and Irma Bunt as two of his favorite villains. I think he should write them in a modern day novel. He shou…

  • I know I’m almost a year late, but I watched Obi-Wan over the last few days. Very enjoyable. Some of the best lightsaber fights since the prequels. It should have honestly been a 2.5-3 hour movie, as there was a bit of too much fluff at times. Overa…
