Vesper in the shower for me. The moment where you really felt this film was taking Bond to places he hadn't been before.

Only if they call it James Bond and Casino Royale :)

I forgot to suggest that they do a short story collection, I'd like that.

'New fiction based on Ian Fleming's life' is an interesting concept they're asking about there.

It is a bit forced isn't it. I was almost going to mention the entrance into the HK hotel in DAD, but that's a bit too forced too. It could have been cool, but Pierce plays it like he knows it's cool, and the music is blaring away... it's all a bit …

Yes it's funny really, speaking of elegant and muscle cars, in NTTD we have Bond driving the V8 from the 80s, which is probably the closest the films have ever got to Fleming's Bond's car habits. A big, grey, brutish, British 'selfish' bruiser of a …

I guess the original Vanquish was in the 'muscle' style to some extent. To be honest I've been less keen on the way their DB cars have been going towards that: I like the DBs to be elegant, but I thought the DB12 was a really great update of the …

If it's lack of flapping, I immediately think of something like Roger calmly sitting in the van whilst Jaws tears it apart, mildly taking the mick out of Anya. Or I don't know if it quite counts, but Craig strolling across the rooftops at the openi…

From the Aston Martin Valiant launch: For Your Sins

Ah okay https://twitter.com/astonmartin/status/1805738187672744065 'For Your Sins' isn't a bad Bond title.

Another Baby Driver? That's an odd choice. I remember enjoying it enough but not loving it. Weren't there problems with the star? Has he worked much since?
