Erm, they've got clothes on in FRWL? Spy's is in the PTS? Spy is the only one Moneypenny doesn't call him?

I think he'd make a good Lord Brett Sinclair actually! :) Probably for Bond they need someone in his 30s.

Lovemaking interrupted by a call to duty? Only in Spy it's Bond's watch going off rather than a phone? Or alternatively it's XXX being interrupted rather than 007.

That's a great link.

Yeah I'd probably lean to the Wright too: he was clearly always thinking of ways of making his performance interesting. Hedison is very charismatic and likeable though. It is notable that both Wright and Hedison are arguably the only ones who had…

Weird to call Kurt Russell 'GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Star'. He's Kurt Russell.

Yes, Bond has always moved with the times and it always keeps an eye on the demographics.

I know what you mean. I guess the issue is that Nolan is not a future for the series- CR was the start of new kind of vision for the Bond series, but only Nolan is Nolan, and although his Bond film would probably be very well-received, if he doesn't…

Yeah, I'm not sure that will stand up in an MGM budget meeting! :D

Bond is back (on Prime video, anyway). They're all there to stream free again.

The BBC have adapted the novels over the last ten years or so, with Toby Stephens. To be honest I kind of think those show why adaptations which are closer to the novels aren't really worth doing, as quite a few of them end up being pretty close to …

Sure, I think I’m just saying that the character had, surprisingly, more depth in the period Moore played him. Connery undeniably played him well, but there wasn’t much humanity there for him to play. He made it effortless, sure, but there wasn’t mu…
