  • Getafix wrote: » I blame P+W, Mendes and EON. The writing has been a shambles for three decades now - basically since Maibaum left. Either woefully sub-par or hastily cobbled together at the last minute, or both. Why on earth can't they get thi…

  • Mendes4Lyfe wrote: » When you say the franchise should be an setting an example, an example of what? If Bond isn't good enough, what isn't it good enough at being? You say the franchise lacks diversity, but only if you choose to define "diversity"…
  • RareJamesBondFan wrote: » @TheWizardOfIce if kung fu movies are Chinese people movies and Bollywood movies are Indian people movies, does that make James Bond... white people movies? lmao. @thelivingroyale makes very good point about diversity in …
