I respect your opinion but I disagree. That type at least in terms of straightforward Bond adventure is exactly want we want.
Mendes is one of my favorite directors but not for Bond anymore. Spottiswood lacks the leadership as say a Campbell or Young but unlike Mendes's last effort he seemed to have an idea of what he wanted.
TND is just a straightforward Bond film midpack and a nice diversion for a couple of hours.
Have to agree but with less enthusiasm. Better than Mendes or Madonna's husband ..what's his name? Forgot..
Also we might finally get some fetishized feet shots in the series. Some of us have been waiting long enough. Sheesh. ;)

I agree that sadly, it likely will never happen, but excellent post nonetheless.
Alas, you are right, but...no hope for feet shots then. *heavy sigh*
First of all let me just say I've had a huge crush on Chiaki Kuriyama since Kill Bill.
Secondly, I've been against the idea of Tarantino helping Bond especially after the huge song and dance he made about EoN hijacking his idea about a CR movie. However, a few weeks ago I went through a Tarantino marathon, revisiting all his films and now, like you, after warming to the possibility of him helping a Bond film I'm fully on board with the idea.
There's not much else to add as you summed things up succinctly but as @Thelivingroyale said, creatively EoN are essentially lost...drifting to nowhere. Tarantino in every movie of his does two things exceptionally well which Bond movies used to do but has been absent for years; and that's make dialogue-heavy scenes very interesting and his ability to build and execute tension and suspense. He never overcomplicates things and has a way with making things excitingly simple. Tarantino is a smart guy and I'm thoroughly convinced he'd make a brilliant Bond film. It would be a creative coup if EoN got him. Writer and director all in one and you'd have a film that would be instantly memorable for all the right reasons. However, as @RC7 said, I doubt it'll ever happen.
Confirmed. Fact. 100 percent true. Not a Donald Trump pledge or a Theresa May "brexit means brexit" claim, but fact. Facty fact fact! And if you don't believe it, go suck a lemon!

Leonard Cohen will be performing the theme song. We'll see how that turns out.
But what I'm really interested in are the dinosaurs. That scene in GoldenEye in M's office wetted my appetite, but what I've always thought the James Bond films could use more of was dinosaurs.
But on a more serious note, one of the never-to-be-made James Bond screenplays I've had rattling around in my head and in notes has the villain peripherally involved with illegally trading dinosaur fossils in Asia.
You're a little behind there, @IncompetentHenchman. We've moved on to Quentin Tarantino and dinosaurs.
It came out around that time but no I haven't read it yet but I hear it's pretty good.
Just fyi Serpent's Tooth predates the film Jurassic Park by one year I think.
Oh it's very good! My favourite Bond comic to date thanks to the great art of Paul Gulacy and the exceptional storytelling by Doug Moench.
Another was A Silent Armageddon, but I don't remember much about it. Cool title, though.
Bond fought dinosaurs?
It was good too?
Sounds too ridiculous.
