I suppose nowadays if the next Bond actor was brought in on such short notice the production would be a lot more hands on in getting them into shape (although it wouldn't be fun - probably lots of chicken and kale, and a hell of an exercise regime).…

I really wouldn't go as far to say he looks 50+ in DAF, but yes, his thicker eyebrows, slight weight gain and toupee (which, although good, ages him due to the dated style and slight receding they add in compared to his previous ones) age him probab…

I don’t think Bond being onscreen or the film ‘changing gears’ makes or breaks part of the film. The GE section works for me better than TB or NSNA as it’s more compelling and dramatic. Bond’s offscreen for just as much of NSNA so I don’t see the is…

They kind of go hand in hand. I do find some of Bond’s ‘one upping’ of M about brandy in the Hamilton films a bit annoying and something that doesn’t always endear audiences to the character. But it can be done well and so long as it doesn’t make Bo…

Didn’t know about that. Just listened to it and I quite like it. Still a bit dated and not quite on the level of the EON songs (not very Bondian sounding to me personally), but I’d say it’s better than the NSNA we got.
-
It really feels like a song from its time. The EON songs tend to have a timelessness to them I find and are much better produced. It’s also a bit… I dunno, soft? Like it just doesn’t have enough energy or bite behind it.

1. YOLT 2. DAF 3. TB 4. NSNA None are my favourites, but I must admit YOLT has grown on me much more recently (mainly for how well made it is, although it’s no TSWLM).

I’ve gotta say, it must be an annoying job sometimes for EON. Imagine getting criticised for your films, having to make conscious course corrections/bold creative decisions for the next one (without which the series will apparently not survive each …

As fans awaiting a film I suppose. No one knows where EON are at with this (at least broadly).

Really not a fan of Campari or anything that uses it (Negronis or Americanos aren’t my thing). So the sherry.
