Point being when Craig says the steffany broadchest line, that's not the films kicking off the ludicrous trappings of some wacky film producers and getting back to the purist vision, but poking fun at fleming himself. Just shows how easy it is to ge…

We are not in 1968 again. Gen Z doesn't care about Bond on anywhere near the same level as boomer kids in the 60's, or even Gen X kids in the 90's did. He is not a cultural icon to people under 25, he's a few degrees more relevant than indiana jones…

People are calling the film the perfect kick off to the summer movie season, especially since it has stars from both last summers hit, barbie and oppenhiemer. There seems to be a mini resurgence of the crowdpleasing "feel good" film, something that'…

Been seeing a lot of praise for David Leitchs Fall Guy over the last few days, even surprised to see famous film curmudgeon Mark Kermode give the film a positive review. Perhaps EON should give Leitch a look over, his rise through the ranks has been…

I hope you remember your theory about Villeneuve being in talks, then we'll see what happens. ;)

@007HallY's argument is that Craig shares a certain continuity with the other actors because he also has moments of charm and interplay, but for me that was never the defining criteria I'm judging things by. Craigs films are a break from traditional…

The predictions are out the window, anything can happen now. We'll just have to wait and see. :-?

Seems to know what he's talking about. Around the 2:40 mark he says we should know something by the end of April.

April is over, according to the guy from youtube we should now officially have the name of a writer or director working on Bond 26. What happens next is anyone's guess, hopefully there's an announcement on James Bond day this autumn.
