Edgar is a fine director and when it comes to being stylised and letting humour drive the scene, like Jaws and Anya escaping Jaws as he rips up the mechanics truck, Edgar Wright basically wrote the book. Bond smiling and having a little audio "ting"…

Skip to 34 minutes to hear Edgar talk about his milk/dark chocolate Bond theory.

Yeah, give these guys that have paid their dues and never had a serious budget to work with a chance. Stop handing the reins over to pretensious dramatists when Bond has always been about thrills, excitement and spectacle first and foremost, get bac…

I will say this, when we talk about "where to take bond after Craig?" The current bond lost his best friend, his other best friend, the love of his life, his boss and died before his daughter could learn his name. If there is a creative bottlenec…

I still can't believe hot fuzz, one of my favourite comedy films of all time, was made for just 8 million dollars. Imagine if EON gave Edgar 120 million and let him make a slick, kinetic 2 hour bond film in the style of his cornetto trilogy films…

Even if we were to go as far as to call ATJ a brat, which I don't think is a fair characterisation at all, we put up with grumpy old man bond for years "I'd rather slash my..." and the rest, why is bratty young kid bond any worse?

A lot of people say they don't like the bond humour from the 70's, but their solution is always to go backwards and not forwards. :-?

@peter They haven't I'm just saying that's what you get when dramatists do comedy, weird esoteric stuff. Bond should be broad, accessible and crowdpleasing ideally.
