  • Welp, this thread became insufferable again. Peace.

  • Did we? I checked out the last couple pages but didn't see it mentioned.
  • In other news, Helena Bonham Carter is our next rumored contender for villain of B25. https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/969023/James-Bond-25-villain-Helena-Bonham-Carter-Angelina-Jolie-Daniel-Craig
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/JamesBond/comments/8f52hn/bond_25_has_a_director_and_distributor/ I've heard now from several people that Danny Boyle is a lock, Annapurna will distribute domestically with MGM, Warner will distribute internationally wit…

  • Eh. The most recent film in a series will always be the most vulnerable to criticism by its passionate fanbase. In 5, 10-years time, once we've had follow-up films and possibly a conclusion to the Spectre plotline, you'll see the articles popping up…
  • The London finale in Spectre was fine. Hardly the catastrophic failure some people make it out to be.
  • It’s not that you can’t do that, it just comes across as a little bit hackneyed and an admittance of making a mistake on your previous movie. Not to mention it would mean even more retrofitting - the very thing most SP critics single out as one of i…

  • Much like Dalton's third film, I'd hate to be stuck with a "what could have been" scenario here. I want to see what P&W and Demange/Villeneuve/etc would have for B25, and what Nolan would bring after.

  • I feel like FRWL gets a free pass for its unnecessary bloat. The needless boat chase and NORTH BY NORTHWEST tribute at the end totally take the wind out from its sails in the same way those criticized moments in Casino Royale supposedly do.
  • Name B25 “Property of a Lady”, then B26 should start with an E... B27 with a C, B28 with a T, B29 with an R, and finally B29 with an E again. How arty!
  • The Beatles should be the villains in B25, revenge for Bond's offhand remark from Goldfinger. Then the established timeline becomes even more muddled.
  • Upon a recent rewatch, I'm not convinced the "fun" argument works for DAD. It's far too smug to be enjoyably awful. Like, I can easily picture Tamahori, Pervert and Weird making Gustav Grave's conceited little grin as they high-five each other over …
  • Having just rewatched the Brosnan era, I think they actually continue to improve up until DAD.
