I almost think they used the Carver idea too soon: but maybe it's fresh no matter the time. It'd be great to find another, slightly satirical subject for a villain like that (and it will always be non-political in a Bond).

True enough! I watched them both with my nephew recently, and he enjoyed Glass Onion more, I think it's a bit more fun and has the influencers etc. plot so I can see why- definitely looking forward to another.

Must admit I don't get the point of a title reveal vid if the title is in the thumbnail and video title! :D

A reminder that Peter does this for a living so has a pretty nailed-on understanding. Feel free to pick holes in what (or in the case of some here, every single thing) I say, but he really does know what he's talking about. It's a good point abo…

That could be interesting. An M who is quite closed-up and an enigma to Bond, with all of the warmth removed totally. I don't know how long that could last, but an M who actually makes Bond nervous and off-kilter, rather than the slightly playful te…

I liked it, I thought it was interesting to see Bond fully unshackled from feeling any sense of duty to this person. Had he still been 007 he wouldn't never have expressed his feelings like that; I think it's interesting to take these characters to …

Don't know which film you're talking about.

I totally agree to disagree, but I would just say a couple of things: sandbagger1 wrote: » Yes, Brown's M is angry and shouty, lacking Bernard Lee's warmth and subtle humour. I think he's really a product of Moore's era and just seems an obstac…

Sorry, when I said 'as above' I was referring to the post upthread which started this conversation, not yours. I should have been clearer there. But where are all these ones where sandbagger1 wrote: » we've been stuck with a lot of interaction…

There is always more to Bond and M than conflict, but that is part of their relationship too. They've never 'just shouted' at each other. No one is saying it should be only conflict, but asking for none at all (as above) removes more shades than it …

I don't like Writing on the Wall at all, but this song feels like lots of ideas kind of stuck together, if you know what I mean. There's nice bits, but it's really slow and I kind of lose interest during it; a nice idea pops up, then it goes really …

Quite funny story in the news this morning with Lana Del Ray singing the Bond theme she wrote for Spectre but was rejected. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv22mmnjrnyo

Ha! Needs more double agents and scenes on aircraft carriers though.

It's Run Shoot Jump for me.

Yeah I found the school bully stuff rather embarrassing.

Edlitz hasn't mentioned so far that Gardner really liked the idea that you could spot people who are following you if their shoes look worn out, and I'm sure he always used to go on about shooting people by firing two shots at them. Reflsin2bourb…

Funnily enough I’ve always thought there’s something Bondy about that Elvis hit Return To Sender. Is there a 007 twist in there?

I get what 007Hall is saying: it's not about class but more about Bond doesn't seem the university type- he would get out and see the world, join the Navy etc. rather than stay in education.

He got Kissy pregnant. I think it’s more of a contortion to say he wasn’t a father from that.

La Chimera sounds very interesting.
