I think it becomes clearer that the TV show and the game are there to keep Bond in the public consciousness during the dormancy of the film franchise.

I think when Mendes4Lyfe says Skyfall isn’t ‘stylish’ he means ‘stylized’. Think of the original Star Trek TV show’s acting and directing style - it’s very stylized, exaggerated and theatrical rather than today’s more naturalistic style. That’s the …
-
I get what Mendes4Lyfe is saying, he’s talking about that style of directing which, for example, North by Northwest has - not naturalistic but somewhat contrived… I’m not sure if ‘theatrical’ is the right term, but it’s not really in fashion at the …

I like Sam Claflin and I think he’d be one of my picks for Bond, but I think at the speed things are moving he might hit 40 before they get going on the next film.

I'd like wit as opposed to jokes, and I'd like tension as opposed to angst and melodrama.

Again, I haven't watched Brosnan's films in an age. I have Goldeneye on DVD which I must watch again, but I find his other Bond films rather bland.

Fair enough, I guess the films just don't go for the big focus on Bond running like the Craig films do, having him pumping his arms up and down as he runs toward camera. I do remember Dalton getting that kind of shot at the beginning of TLD when he …

I didn't hear Craig's name mentioned until he was announced (not that I was on sites like this which are totally dedicated to Bond). I seem to remember Michael Madsen saying Brosnan had told him it was going to be some Australian (I think that wa…

There's also the question of how much trouble the producers think the candidate would be day-in, day-out. They will want someone pretty reliable, and I think that will mean someone with a certain amount of experience. I don't think we'll get another…

The Daily Mail is not a credible source, afaic. I’ve nothing against ATJ, but I really don’t believe the rumours that he’s the top candidate. I think it will be Sope because he’s very much a black Daniel Craig, and I think that’s what BB will be loo…

I wonder if we might ever get a villain who throws one of those medieval reenactments where people joust in full armour - it would admittedly be very contrived, but I could see Bond and villain engaged in a 'friendly' joust. Might be a bit Pierce Br…

There are only 5 Indiana Jones films, he does this stuff less because there are fewer films, but improvising (‘I’m making this stuff up as I go along’, or words to that effect) is what he does. I’d argue that the more ridiculous stuff from the fi…
