Interesting. I got the J&J vaccine and the waiting period afterward in the US is only 14 days.
-
And I'm sure that in 1965, filmgoers were enchanted by the underwater filming, and were more patient about film pacing.

I think this is good news, in the sense that UA, then MGM/UA, and then MGM, had nothing but financial troubles and only Bond to keep it afloat every two years. Money is not an issue with Amazon.

The whole sequence is crap...where the parahawks are when they collide makes no visual sense.

^Tech failing Bond

LALD. Perhaps the defining scene in movie history of tech failing.
-
A young Bond TV series could show his mistakes and also have Easter eggs for the DN-DAD films for fans...while the film series continued apace in the present. Eon is onto something, always making the *films* contemporary.
-
Why not both? A young Bond series (would have to be a period piece) and a seasoned Bond one, alternating releases every two years. I don't have faith Eon could plan far ahead enough for that, though.

Many things work in CR, but the important one for Bond 26 is this: go back to Fleming.

The Cold War is what makes TLD work and LTK stumble...and besides, all Bond films set in the US tend to have major issues, aside from GF (and GF was set back when Miami was a premier destination).

Trevelyan mentions the climbing accident in GE. I think it would be weird if the new Bond actor keeps referencing Vesper or Madeleine. They're just so tied to the Craig era, and aside from SF, are constantly brought up in the narrative. It's …
-
I remember the '80s too and I always felt that Bond would come back in some form (and having Brosnan out there gave a glimmer of hope). The heir apparent was waiting, so I sensed that the studios would figure it out to capitalize on his US fame...
-
They sure got through some rocky times in the '70s. First Connery saved the series with DAF, and then Moore again with TSWLM. '89-'95 and '15-'21 look easy by comparison. And that's not even getting into Saltzman or McClory in the '70s.

-
I think Bond 26 needs to get away from Vesper, and to a lesser extent, Madeleine. That's a lot of (at times, very entertaining and moving) emotional baggage. It will be next to impossible to do this without a reboot.

I want to hate DAF. It's a hot mess on so many levels, and a desecration of everything OHMSS stands for. And yet I can't.

Blofeld has enough of a personal motivation: Bond has foiled each of his prior four plans. The problem is Bond doesn't know Blofeld exists, when he reveals himself. No drama there.
