  • Bond has always revolved around the essence of life - sex and death. If the character ever moves away from sex and death, then it’s no long a Bond film.

  • I like it. Introducing Connery and Moore later showed that the mission / threat to UK is the central point of the film, and 007 is part of the government machine deployed to counter the threat. That’s preferable to me to the Craig era, where B…

  • In the 60s, Bond does seem to have relied help from females in mission success, as well as having sex with them - although both Bond and the women are attractive and available, so why not. However, attempting to convert female baddies into goodies …
  • I think we are all agreed that mass media should give people moral guidance on how to behave, and sexual assault should never be seen as acceptable. Despite what some posters believe, many people do not think that gratuitous violence is acceptabl…
  • Pussy was also the enemy. But Bond had sex with her, and didn’t kill her.

  • I did not accuse you as a person of not being an adult. I suggested that your interpretation of the scene was inline with contemporary / woke / Me Too / liberal / politically correct (delete as appropriate) perception, and not fully considering the…

  • If we are going to talk about GF and TB, what about FRWL? Tania was forced to sleep with Bond, or would have been shot. That is more serious than GF or TB. And what about Bond himself? He was specifically instructed by M to romance and satisfy…
  • Bond is fundamentally about sex and violence. The idea that Bond should not have sex is like saying he should not kill people. The 60s were a special time, where the Pill meant that women could enjoy sex on their terms. In some ways, it’s sad t…
  • Knowing how Bond often follows current cinema trends, I hope Bond26 does NOT follow a recent trend, which seems to be for action scenes / shoot outs to reflect computer games - thinking of the latest John Wick and, to some extent, latest Mission Imp…
  • Well, I Like To Do Some Things The Old-Fashioned Way
  • I like your thoughts, and your list. The only addition is that I would like Bond films to be thrillers more than action films. Actions films can get very boring very quickly, although real (not CGI) stunts are important.

  • Don’t understand why we are still discussing non-runners, like Elba. The guy is too old.
