The Naked Gun is great, and Leslie is generally pretty brilliant. His Star-Spangled Banner is hilarious.

Yeah, the CR airport scene is like the airplane chase in Spectre, where on paper it should all be really exciting, but it just isn't. What the Spectre chase at least has going for it is that the spectacle is pretty novel, whereas the only thing I ca…

I think the only part that doesn't improve is the histrionic presentation of Bond's death. On the rewatch, it's just "get on with it, stop preparing me for it".

If anyone is anxious about a female director (or a black Bond or whatever), it's worth considering that someone outside the status quo might have a stronger incentive to make a classic, traditional Bond. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone el…
