Cell phones are what are killing movies.

I think it's amazing they did as well with the script as they did, after they had to shelve the Boyle script and dust off the P&W script. It's fairly coherent but I think the seams show when the films gets to Safin and his plan. Malek is not…

I still think they should have leaned more into Safin's lifelong obsession with Madeleine. That could have easily, simply, dramatically explained his motivation, and like every good mad scientist, he could have had an evil plan to keep Bond and Mad…

Agreed. The classic gunbarrel, with the correct section of the Bond theme. I find it very odd that they keep bringing back the tired DB5 but keep messing with the gunbarrel and its music.

Yes, Eon is right to keep Bond as a cinema event. As painful as it was to wait for NTTD through Covid, that was the correct call. Marvel killed the golden goose with too many movie releases and TV shows. Ditto Star Wars. And the Fast franchise…

How can anyone compare the influential Brian DiPalma to the hack Michael Bay? Umm, obviously I choose The Untouchables.

Occam's razor tells me they will go back to Fleming, probably MR. Gives you a younger Bond and a new Bond/new M dynamic. Reminiscent of what they did with CR. I hope they can escape the shadow of Vesper and give us something/someone different. …

I'll admit I kind of wanted Swann Song as the title for No Time To Die. Can Lea sing? (I'm guessing yes.) Edited. Yes: https://x.com/badpostseydoux/status/1773777197888647355

Turning away from Aidan Turner... I finally saw Dune 2 and am firmly convinced that Villeneuve would be perfect as director. He is amazing at world-building, and the new Bond will require a reestablishment of M, Q, and Moneypenny as well as a re…

Agreed.

She is incredible. This may be controversial...but I don't really "get" how reusing actors in different roles is a "tradition." To me it's just Cubby wanting to get actors like Charles Gray or Joe Don Baker "on the cheap." Just ask Connery. …

The Brosnan era is over...no point in going back. Unless they could get Rosamund Pike back in a different role. She's always welcome.

An alternate title for NTTD could have been: Daughter of Spectre It has the requisite Fleming-esque five syllables.
