Then cast a Walrus.

I don't think there's any contradictions in the chronology that would jar as much as killing him off. You could change actors, change his car, his hair, even change his race, but none of them would be such a 'f*ck you' to the series as killing him a…

Nearly sixty years in films! Sorry.

Well, they sent Bond into space with lazer guns, so in the realm of films, anything's possible, I agree. But Bond is a cultural hero, in films for nearly fifty years and longer than that in literature, killing him off this far down the pike is goin…

I watched the recent Star Trek films, and the Leonard Nimoy Spock is in one. I said to my friend, "I don't get it, is that young Spock as an old man, come back in time to talk to himself?" And my friend said, "no it's a Spock from the alternate time…

And super-hero movies don't have to adhere to basic scientific facts like dramas do - so people in Marvel movies can fly, become invisible, and return from the dead. It's allowed, because it's fantasy. Yea, I know, different person, different timel…

Not the same actor, but were they portraying the same character?

Different person. Okay. So was Roger Moore's Bond the same person as Sean Connery's Bond, in your mind, when you watch them.

I remember when Leiter said the "he was married once, it was a long long time ago" line about Dalton's Bond. If you thought about it, it didn't make sense that someone in 1989 in their thirties, got married in 1969. But that was okay, because it wa…

Just to clarify what I wrote above ... I'm worried that cinema audiences are now so used to characters dying and re-booting, that this will affect NTTD and they will actually kill him off, and I'd come out the movie on a great big downer. And then,…

I do wish these constant comparisons with super-hero movies would stop. Bond is a drama based on a literary character, not sci-fi based on kid's comics. Just like he can't die then come back the next movie like nothing's happened in a Star Trek 'al…

I can see how DAD is a mess, but I honestly remember coming out the cinema buzzing. I'm not ashamed to admit it.

FYEO is pretty much unplayable with its cheesy synth sounds. LTK and Goldeneye have their moments, but it took Arnold to put some excitement back into the scores.

That bit where he strangles that guy on the balcony. I never before watched a Bond film where I didn't like James Bond. He was always a hero, but QOS gave us a new 'thug Bond'. I suppose it was fashionable, but it wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't v…

The worst Bond movie is Quantum of Solace. It's not the worst movie in the franchise, but it's the worst Bond movie.
