It's a bizarre yet strangely appealing song.
He looks like a civil servant. I see nothing wrong with it: that's what he is.
Probably not, it was just meant to be a generic mission file, but there's always a chance it will be Bond 24's mission, or at least the PTS mission.
The PTS is Bond opening the file to reveal a year's worth of unpaid utility bills - a sheepish 'M' explains he's incapable of dealing with automated payment services. Cue action.
If this would't be the case, then Bond would start Bond24 with a damage arm, and that's not gonna happen
That's just about nails it. That intensity off his nonexistence on the screen feels almost painful to me and I really doubt there is much to do about his look.
Quid? I mean, is Bill Tanner supposed to be bleeding Batman or Sherlock Holmes or something? He does desk work for MI6! How intense does he need to look?
Meaning no huge action setpieces for B24? I wouldn't be surprised. SF really only had one (the PCS) because Mendes didn't use the other two from the original script.
SF intended, too. But it was cut out. This was suppose to take place on Silva's island (there was also a scene on the island which featured rats):
"Director Sam Mendes will pay homage to the Indiana Jones rope bridge battles. 007 will have it out with a villain on a rickety affair like in Temple Of Doom."

They don't need to rethink his look, they just need to add some flesh to the character. Build a relationship with Bond that isn't facilitated by M. Have them sharing a cocktail at Blades, an inside joke, anything that delivers a sense of friendship. I always thought the short scenes between Brosnan and Kitchen nailed this - they had chemistry - and it is achievable, even with limited screen time. Kinnear is definitely capable, but Logan needs to use him effectively rather than A.N.Other MI6 bod. Leave the bods in the background.
Brosnans Tanner wasn't meant to be Batman either, but still he managed to pull of some screen presence. All we know of him now is he is Mr. slowpoke and not an especially bright one at that (judging from all the wondering he's doing and his two movies). Be it as it may, I am the first to admit that this is foremost a matter of taste.
Despite the fact your description of Tanner baffles me, is it really a problem seeing Bond drinking with a gay man? Again, for hypothetical reasons, accepting your particular take on his portrayal.
Indeed it has. Perhaps it should've stayed closed until more news was announced, all it is now is ridiculous bickering, off-topic discussions, and troll comments that will only incite fights.
Agreed.
I know he does, still, I cannot help but point out the ridiculous argument. Bill Tanner needs to be intense?
Agreed. I do think Craig and Kinnear have good chemistry, but they need to flesh their relationship out a bit more. Bill Tanner never was a very important character in the film series, he was downright neglected, even more than Felix Leiter! We should be happy that they are giving him screen time and seem to be committed to give him some importance.
My suggestion: close this thread and never open it again. Bond 24 should have many separate threads in the future like Skyfall did. A thread for every big news. Posting everything in one thread makes this place a mess.
Threads go this way, and that. We're not automatons. There is no news, so naturally discussion has drifted. Not a big deal. As soon as there's news it'll hit it's stride again.

Same. This was the first site I checked when I got up this morning, was really excited thinking that some news was released. But, of course not.
While I sympathise, when have you ever genuinely checked in to such a thread and witnessed 'actual' news. My guess would be 1 in 50. I certainly never expect to see news.
