Back on the topic of songs we don't much like, I don't find DAD all that offensive apart from the nonsense lyric. My actual least favorite, and the only one I completely dislike, is For Your Eyes Only. It's a big fat slice of cheesy adult contemp…

:)) I love how videos like this rope virtually all astrophysicists (and other experts) in the world into the conspiracy by virtue of their silence about the alleged problem. It makes it safer and easier to ignore, like explanations of why the Gen…

Well sure, of course everything is up to personal interpretation to some degree. The song can speak to me about Bond, Largo, Vargas, or Saddam Hussein. But if someone asks what a song is about, presumably they're not asking what it means to them sub…

Maybe I'm wrong and it could be made interesting, but I can't conceive of a point to any spinoff. I mean, Bond is barely a character. Bond movies are mostly about an aesthetic, I'd say. There's not all that much going on with James Bond, and even…

I think CR is liked by people outside the Bond fan community mostly because it's not very much like a Bond film. It's generic-ness is a big part of why I have relatively little regard for it. And I've mentioned this elsewhere I'm sure, but I've n…

Well, Casino Royale (the 2006 one) contains virtually none of the standard EON Bond tropes, save a snippet of Bond theme and a title sequence, and it was a commercial and critical success. With nothing more than the name "James Bond", a rival produc…
