  • In the US, low-information voters from more rural areas are mad that coal jobs have gone away (hello, 1980) and that the world is becoming less white (hello, reality). And a certain segment of our society could never get their brains around a half-…

  • Perhaps Bond 25 will be a chamber play in the spirit of Pride & Prejudice. Ex-Mrs. White: this time it's really personal. Call it The Property of A Lady.

  • I love Vesper and Green, but enough already. I'd rather see: Bond, newly retired, in his car with a girl, driving off into the sunset. But then...a speeding car passes him in the other direction. He senses something is off. He turns to the g…

  • I'd shorten the boat chase as it's a bit long, especially the part where he's driving on land. And it would have been nice to have Bond instinctively protect Q when he suspects the bomb is about to go off. Perhaps controversially, I'd get rid …

  • All I am saying is: We all love the Bond character (the novels, the films, etc.) and the vast majority of that goodwill is rightly due to Fleming and Eon. Yet because of that goodwill, I think we sometimes forget that Fleming did something wrong…

  • McClory was clearly a pain to Fleming and Eon but c'mon, Fleming was hardly a downy innocent. It's clear he knew what he was doing when he wrote TB, hence the (court-ordered) attribution in the later prints of the novel.

  • I think TND's script needed an overhaul. It just plays everything so safe and formulaic. What's with the drugs in Gupta's safe? Why don't we see any of the torture, either by Kaufman or Stamper? Why is Stamper's character so ill-defined? It's …

  • For me TND is his worst because they took no risks. TWINE and DAD at least tried to bring something new to the series, even if they failed.
