I'd've loved Dalton to come back in triumph for a third but, yes, Brosnan was the right Bond at the right time and the right Bond for those films.
-
Good question! Does one less Moore mean we get one more Dalton too? Does one more Brosnan mean it comes in the 2002-2006 gap and we still get the exact same CR in 2006?

Maybe some revisionism going on here? Yes, DAD was successful enough to justify Pierce making another. But EON didn't want him to. The reason? Barbara Broccoli, MGW and Lee Tamahori went to see The Bourne Identity and came out thinking that 'We were…

It's a good point. Even Dalton said that one of the reasons he turned down Bond originally was because he thought it was impossible to follow Connery. It took George's cocksure Aussie larrikin approach not to be daunted by the prospect. Whoever foll…

Two Daltons just isn't enough. Three's an absolute minimum; five would be better. But whenever I see this poster, I want this:

Looking at that photo of Aidan Turner, it's still hard to envisage a scenario in which Cubby wouldn't have hired him by now. At 40, future AI's likely to be Turner's best bet now, though. Maybe one day AI will create that accurate b/w Moonraker, set…

Yeah, exactly, some of this comes from having it drummed into me while studying History that you absolutely can't and shouldn't judge people in the past by modern standards, only by those of their own time. As you say, that's not excusing it, it's r…

:D Yeah, Corden proves that hate at first sight is a real thing, eh!
-
Yeah, I'm sure that's true, actually. I can't put myself in the position of a woman watching GF in the mid-'60s, so I'll be missing that entire perspective. Good point.
-
I'd be in a bit of a quandary if Theo James got the gig, tbh. The thing that one of those guys says in the podcast about watching him in White Lotus and thinking 'wow, I really hate this guy'? I get that every time I see him, no matter what he's in.…

Goldfinger's 60 years old. We don't expect a film as old as GF to reflect modern sensibilities, but I sometimes get the impression that there's a tendency to judge it by them. That's unfair. It was made for a contemporary audience in 1964 and shoul…

Yes, in SF when Mallory caught Tanner and Q illicitly helping Bond and told them to carry on and hope the higher ups don't find out, that fitted with the sort of thing you'd expect from someone with Mallory's SAS background. Someone like that just w…

Given the broad outline that we've now moreorless got of Villeneuve's plans, what's the available 'window' for him to do Bond 26 should he want to do it?
-
Yeh, they really did. It took everyone by surprise too - in a good way. Loved it.
-
I still remember the delight that rippled around the theatre from the CR gunbarrel on that first viewing in the cinema. Wonderful moment.
-
A bullet leads Bond to an island encounter with a master assassin. SF or TMWTGG? That's probably how they'll 'remake' things in future - more of a re-working than an overt remake. I don't mind those elements in the mix, tbh.
-
Note the language in that Daily Mail piece: 'could', 'if', 'potentially.' Even if it wasn't 1st April, it couldn't reveal itself as baseless tripe any more clearly if it substituted Rebel Wilson for Zendaya. Thinking about it, we should be thankful …

But in the end, the DCINB crew got to see CraigBond take a missile to the face. Why aren't they happy now? Oh, wait - they missed out on getting Cavill in DAD II, III and IV in the intervening years. Right, now I see...

Didn't Nolan himself say that he wouldn't do a Bond film unless he had complete control of everything and if that wasn't forthcoming he'd prefer not to do it at all and just be first in line to see it instead? Something to that effect. EON aren't go…
