Hoping they do not go this direction.
I definitely wouldn't want Bond being on comms link during the climax to become the standard, even though it's probably more realistic in this day and age.
Yeah exactly, it depends. If there’s a story there and they have it they should go for it. If not, then don’t.
Being on a comms link would be more realistic so I will just have to count on the filmmakers to have the villain relieve Bond of it.
I'd like M to be to Bond what Mycroft is to Sherlock: the smarter one, who can see the bigger picture. In the novel TB, it's M who figures out SPECTRE's plan, and he even deduces the existence of a mastermind behind it. I'd love to see this in a Bond film.
Sounds a bit too soap opera-ish for my taste.
That'd be quite interesting! It'd be quite cool seeing the new M and Bond play off each other in a briefing in that way.
As for a return of a Defence Minister, I'd personally prefer if he wasn't in the room while Bond is being briefed. I was never a fan of Grey in the Moore films constantly sitting in on the briefings and flapping his jowl around.
I think Grey was there just to give the situation an extra layer of tension: the Defence Minister is here, things are bad.
And yes!
Also, this. And both can happen, as in TB. One right after the other. The gathering and then the individual briefing.
Absolutely. A small thing I love about that scene is the look M gives Bond when he arrives late.
I hope the next M has a scene were they back Bond's instincts, I love bit in Thunderball also.
I think his comment was done with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
A lot of the charm is staying in one or two locations and soaking in the culture of the areas.

People always talked about Connery at the time, largely because of the suits, and the quasi-retro styling of CR I think. But people often seemed to rarely take into account that Craig’s Bond would have been Moore, not Connery. That’s why there is a *ton* of little Moore era nods in the Craig era. TSWLM seems to have a reference in many of them (tie dropping off roof, Hinx as a latter day jaws, much of the styling when not in Suit is very Roger, not least because Craig is closer to him in colouring, the dinner jacket in the desert, the humour when coming from Bond is actually more Roger than anyone else, but mainly it’s in key visuals to be honest)
Introduce a new higher-up CIA character, a woman with strong presence like Jennifer Lopez/Scarlett Johansson. Bond has a quiet admiration for her, and vice versa, but she's witty and keeps Bond's masculinity in check. Maybe in a later film, in a moment between life and death - an earned kiss.
Yeah. Cool idea. Although, I think an actress like Carrie Coon could work better. I think Lopez & Johansson are way too famous.
I'm looking for that sexy energy between them, something quiet, electric. Was only thinking of a small role in the office scenes. Bond can still have his younger women interests on his missions.
Yeah. I know. But I meant like....they're way too famous for a Bond film. It's like giving Stallone or Schwarzenegger a cameo in a Bond film. It's a small role, but they're still in a Bond film.
What do you mean?
