  • It's opposite the usual narrative but in-line with Eon's history.
  • What you think about this personal reading of mine? Is it a possible and legitimate critique or is it just a bunch of nonsense? It's a bunch of postmodern nonsense. Let's start from the top. But, as far as I'm concern (and speaking as …

  • The thing to remember is that Danny Boyle was a few weeks away from turning six when Dr. No was released. The franchise is far bigger than any one director.

  • TWINE and TND both have the benefit of being twenty years old and yet still have plots that would work today. Same can’t be said for every Bond film.
