Alright, here's a stray thought: The Craig era has derived its emotional stakes, generally speaking, from killing off central characters: Vesper in CR, Mathis in QOS, M in SF, and . . . whatever SP was. Despite a few weak efforts there's really n…

Looks like the Cuba scene will feature a good old-fashioned shoot-up - promises to be fun!

I think I've said this before, but one area where I suspect SP will age very well is aesthetics. It's just a very, very good looking movie. Lots of lush locations, beautiful people, beautiful camera work, and so on. Of course, styles come and go …

Does anyone think that the role of NTTD's delay in "killing cinemas" is a bit overblown? I've seen a fair few stories now in several different papers about how the postponement will be the nail in the coffin of the cinema industry. I admit I know v…

Last thing I'll say on this for now: Obviously EON bears no responsibility for the pandemic - it's a bloody disaster all around, and nobody could be expected to have foreseen it. But . . . deep down, there is a small part of me that thinks, "i…

Sadly, it's almost certainly just legal maneuvering and not any glimpse of a new game. It pains me to say it, but I think Bond gaming is dead, at least until a whole new generation restarts things.

In a vacuum, I'd say the decision to postpone makes good sense (or anyway, is unsurprising). The situation is still so shaky, the big markets (UK, USA) are in dire straits, and the movies that have gone for it (Mulan, Tenet) have faltered. Selfis…

I've said it before: that photo with the V8 needs to be a poster. It's a stunning, iconic image.

I'm late to the party, I know, but I wanted to jump in and register that Aubergine in AVTAK is my least favourite Bond ally. (To the extent that he really is one.) The others are inept, yes, but Aubergine is the only one who I genuinely want off th…
