Ted Cruz drops out of presidential race Good riddance. The only downside to this is that it clinches the nomination for Donald Drumpf.

A reboot does not necessarily mean that they have to do sequels, it just means that they have a clean slate to do something different than what they were doing before. EON took that edict and decided to make a sequel, which is fine. For all of t…

This is where the producers can't really win. They're criticized (rightly, I think) for not delivering a follow-up to OHMSS, letting Blofeld essentially get away with killing Tracy and not having had that moment impact anything. CR presents them…

Honestly, now that we've seen Craig as the "Bond we all know and love" in Spectre, I'm glad they didn't go there right away. In fact, I wish they'd never gotten there. Craig's strength in the role is when he's doing something different with it. H…

There's nothing wrong with QoS being a sequel to CR. The reboot was supposed to bring new rules for the franchise along with it anyway, otherwise what's the point of rebooting. It was also made rather clear going in that it was a sequel to the pre…

Honestly, I think they were doing just fine until Spectre. The large gap between films hasn't really been EON's fault this time around, as they were poised for a 2011 release for Skyfall until the MGM fiasco. A three-year wait isn't, for me, a big…

CR carries on past that point because the novel carried on past that point. CR is as much about the Bond/Vesper relationship as it is about Bond trying to stop Le Chiffre from winning a card game. It's also about Bond needing to learn to see "the …

@bondjames perfectly said, sir. One of the biggest problems with Spectre is that its main plot is largely missing from the film. The main crux of the film is to get the nine nations to vote "yes" on Nine Eyes, thus putting into operation SPECTR…

Nobody is trying to change your opinion of Spectre or the Blofeld angle in the film. You and 006 liked it. That's perfectly fine. You're entitled to like whatever it is that you like. That's also a two-way street, however. Nobody has objected…

He makes that link for other reasons than what you cite. He feels like his father loved Bond more than him, which is part of the reason he killed him. And, yes, I'm perfectly aware that they're not officially foster-brothers. I'm not that thick…

I think it's pretty clear that both of us were being sarcastic. But, to answer the question, there is a big difference. While Moore was playing a different take on the character of Bond, he was still James Bond. Ernst Stavro Blofeld is NOT Fran…

It seems to me that they stuff all of those homages into the new films because they're not creative enough to come up with something that could potentially become just as iconic on their own, so they rely on what Cubby, Maibaum, and the rest of the …

Very well said, @Shardlake.

What I'd would have wanted out of Blofeld in Spectre would have been, minus the obvious in wanting him not to be "related" in some way to Bond, would have been for him to have had some menace about him, first and foremost. Waltz is a good actor, …
