Saffin’s motivations made sense to me on repeat viewings. He’s your standard incel Joker watch the world burn sort of bad guy. Once his revenge is done he wants to burn the world by selling Heracles to some dodgy Russians (or the Russians?), letting…

I don’t think there’s going to be a dramatic shift in tone because it’s not 2008 anymore and they couldn’t shift any further without going full Roger Moore (and they’ll never do that again, nobody else could pull it off). We’ve had gadgets, bad puns…

I keep flip flopping on ATJ. He’s definitely a really good actor, loved him in Kick Ass. But Godzilla gave me a lot of doubt over his ability to carry a blockbuster like Bond. I know that was a fairly generic hero role, not as much to play with as B…

I know ski chases have become a bit of a Bond trope but it’s not one I really have any desire to see again. They’ve done it too many times already imo. Could incorporate some speed riding to make it feel more exciting, but Mission Impossible did spe…

My preference would be the 50s for a period piece, just because it’s a decade we haven’t seen on screen before. It’d be cool to see him driving the blower bentley too. But I don’t really want that or any period piece, and I don’t think it’d be a …

I was missing classic Bond when QoS came out, but the last few have more than whetted my appetite for that stuff. They’ve played with the narrative a bit but we still get gadgets, gags, super suave to the point of being tongue in cheek moments, Q, M…
