IDK, I’m still worried by this setting. Setting it in the sixties almost feels like they’re stepping onto Bond’s territory. Hmm. But like I said, I hope I’m wrong. It can’t possibly be worse than KOTCS, can it? I mean, there’s no possible way tha…

Personally I’d be a bit worried if it was late 1960s. Doesn’t feel pulpy enough for Indiana Jones. The character works best (IMO) in the 1930s where you’ve got obvious bad guys, obvious good guys, straightforward heroics etc. By the late sixti…

Very interesting. In my head canon the main sequence runs DN to OHMSS and then jumps to TSWLM which is where Bond next mentions his marriage to Tracy. That means that DAF-LALD-TMWTGG form a separate trilogy of films, a different timeline that …

TBH I find a lot of the car chases in Bond films to be a bit feeble. The chase in DN is terrible and personally I think the lowest point of the whole of TB is the ‘chase’ where Bond’s car just sits there on an empty road like a duck in a shooting…

Yes that’s a good point, I had forgotten about him shooting Stromberg.

I’m not convinced there actually is a quintessential Moore film. By choosing one you miss the nuances that he brought in the others. TSWLM is probably the closest to a Greatest-Hits thing but you don’t really get the hard-edged Moore that you see in…

A series about Draco’s organisation from OHMSS might be fun? At least you could vary the stories and characters a bit each week. One episode might be a bank heist, the next one might be sorting out a corrupt politician, the next one a protection rac…

IDK, this worries me a bit. They’ll bring Salah back and then destroy the character. Like how they turned Marcus Brody into a joke in Last Crusade and wrecked Marion in Crystal Skull. Bringing back a beloved old character and then disrespecting t…

I’d happily watch a spin-off about DAD’s North Korean tortureuse interrogating people

Mallory’ s original book, Mort d’Arthur, is basically a multiverse anyway. Because it’s not just about Arthur. It’s got the stories of all the other knights of the round table too. Mort d’Arthur is the Elizabethan equivalent of a -verse, with the di…

It changes but SP is probably my favourite PTS right now. I never tire of watching it. Least favourite PTS changes too but probably AVTAK at the moment. Interesting how little people seem to like YOLT’s one. I agree the shooting-in-the-bed bit…

Problem-free ones for me are TB, TSWLM, QOS

IDK, I still think Eon’s position is pretty strong, because they have legally covered all the major permutations of the character already. Jokey Bond, always ready with a quip or a witticism? Eon’s already done that, so they could argue that that…

I’ve met people who claim to be Alien fans who actually hate the vast majority of Alien franchise films ever made. “Alien 3?” “Hate it” “Alien Resurrection?” “Hate it” “Alien vs Predator?” “Hate it” “Prometheus?” “Hate it” “Alien covenant…

Yes you are right. This is why I don’t think Eon really needs to worry about the copyright expiration issue at all. Other people will be able to use the character of JB, but they won’t be able to use many of the tropes or aesthetics associated wi…

Is there no garden of death painting? - such a shame. YOLT is I think the most thought-provoking book in the series. I was so looking forward to the garden of death.

Final Countdown, now that’s a film I haven’t thought about for decades. I saw it in the cinema with my dad when it was released. Excellent premise, but they should have done more with it. Seemed a bit of a waste of a good idea, really.
-
Thank you @Dragonpol, I had completely forgotten about the TLD disclaimer. Now that you come to mention it I think I saw it before a TV showing of TLD in the UK a couple of decades ago (but may be wrong)

The Bond character has always shifted with trends in wider society. I love early 1970s Bond as much as the next man, but I’m also happy that it’s not the early 1970s any more, and that today’s Bond is different. If the character of movie Bond had…

That’s excellent @Revelator, thank you. I vaguely recalled that Amis had met Fleming but did not know the details. This personal link between the authors is something that distinguishes Colonel Sun from all the other continuation novels, I think.
