  • Sure! It's set in the mid-'80s. American guy: "I like George Lazenby. At least he's the right age." British woman: "What are you saying? Roger Moore is by far the best Bond." American guy: "Nobody thinks that." British woman: "Well, I do. …

  • I would agree that Fleming finally perfected the Bond novel with OHMSS. It's not coincidental that there are echoes of Vesper in this one.

  • That's basically Orlov. Would be interesting to see Bond have to decide whether to assassinate a major political figure. Shades of Pushkin in TLD.

  • In the modern era, though, longer hiatuses have resulted in better films. And a good Bond film often follows a mediocre one. So Bond 25 will have both of those in its favor.
