Thunderball. I'm not a big fan of the film, I'm currently enjoying the book a lot more.

Bullit is great, but very much of its time, and I'm not using that as a euphemism for 'racist', I mean that cool jazz score, the cars, fashions, the whole vibe. I certainly don't think it would work for me without the jazz music, but would it feel t…

ATJ is a perfectly good actor, I'm sure he'd be good with a good script. What I'm not sure of is if he's got the stuff to be good with a mediocre or bad script, and unfortunately I think you kind of need that in an actor taking on the Bond role. Bul…

I've finished Dr. No. I found it enjoyable, and I particularly liked having more of Honey, who I always thought was one of the better love-interests for Bond in the films. There's a bit more to her here in the book, and I particularly liked her supe…

I've seen it. I thought it was okay, but I wouldn't bother re-watching it. Edit: I've been watching House of the Dragon and Ewan Mitchell is making for a great villain with his eyepatch and aggressive chin. Maybe he should be screen tested.

I was very against Harris Dickinson, but his turn in A Murder at the Edge of the World has changed my mind somewhat. I thought the show was not the best, however the scenes set in the past with Corrin and Dickinson's characters investigating a murd…

Korean actress Han Hyoo-joo. She was in Treadstone, but I feel that shouldn't be held against her, she's great when she gets a good script (see K-dramas Happiness and Moving).

I'm listening to the audiobook of From Russia with Love and am liking it so far. Red Grant's lunar psychosis makes him just that little bit more colourful than the film version, which is interesting.

I liked the Phantom of the Opera influence on Safin: the mask, the obsession, the creepy vibe. The character as a whole doesn't work for me (and neither does the film), but I think the idea was pretty solid. I like a bad guy with some sort of gimmic…

I liked Safin's look and the opening scene with him in, he just didn't get enough screen time to do much. NTTD had too much to do and I think he was a casualty.

He was rumoured to be on the shortlist for NTTD, wasn't he? The timing is interesting, with both him and Villeneuve looking like they might be free. I wonder whether we might see the bookies' odds on Jack O'Connell for 007 slashed?

With Furiosa I think the studio hoped the critical praise and DVD/Blu-ray sales that Fury Road generated post-release would translate into cinemagoers for the next instalment, and that didn't happen. It might be that a female-led action movie which …

Don't get me wrong, I think he's good. I just don't think it will be enough to make Citadel work. One thing Reynor has going for him as a potential Bond is his stare, which is very intense. It would work well for Bond.

She’s been mentioned before, but Puerto Rican/Mexican actress Adria Arjona.
