The UK are supposed to be making a 6th gen fighter with Japan, Italy and Sweden (I think), it could be a good excuse to revisit Japan and deal with sabotage; either Hiroyuki Sanada or Tadanobu Asano from Shogun would work for Tiger Tanaka. I'm no…

I must admit I read his comment in the same way as Crabkey.

I think Lord was chosen to help woo the American public. He was a big name at the time, and I think it helped the US audience see an American agent that was as cool as Bond. Even though I'd argue that Jeffrey Wright is by far the best actor to ha…

Safin's a great visual, but there's really nothing behind the mask.

The way the tweet was phrased makes it obvious what he was really after was a dialogue with the studio.

I own Hitman, but have never played it. I've heard that it is good and it's not just a shoot-em up, and I like the idea of planning and stealth in a Bond game, so it might well be a good marriage between IO and 007. Modern games are so huge, though.…

I remember watching an episode of Nikita set in London. Never have the buildings looked so clean, the snow so pure, the mountains so majestic.

Eon is the devil you know, and for me that's better than the devil you don't. I hade major issues with George Lucas' fading talent on the prequels, so when Disney brought out The Force Awakens and I loved it I thought SW was in safe hands. It didn't…

Stanley Tucci is good, he’s always watchable, but he’s not enough to save Citadel. At least Amazon has a success with Fallout, a show that seems to know where to put its money.
-
I’m watching Citadel. It’s a reminder on how easy it is to get this genre wrong. Also, very much a ‘no’ from me for Richard Madden as Bond.
-
Have I suggested Walton Goggins as a bad guy before? He is admittedly almost type-cast a charismatic villain, but watching Fallout has reminded me he's good at it.
-
Le Carre often depicted foreigners working as MI6 agents, and as a former MI6 man himself he should know what he was talking about.

I really enjoyed Skyfall when I saw it in the cinema. I remember being asked if it really was the best Bond film ever, and I laughed and said no, it was fun despite bits not making sense. On subsequent watches I have grown to love it more, and I'm m…

I like the scene in Casino Royale where Bond is mistaken for a parking valet by a condescending guest, rams the rude guest's car into the parking space, then nonchalantly tosses the keys over his shoulder as he walks away. It's funny and it shows Bo…

For an example of humour I like in Bond, the golf game in Goldfinger is really nice, particularly when his caddy suggests that Goldfinger isn't playing his original ball, and Bond says he knows he isn't because he's standing on Goldfinger's original…
