Wasn’t the RPG Indy threatened to blow the Ark up with from the fifties? Didn’t Marion once a drink a Frenchman — of all people — under the table? Did she not own her own business? How can anyone take this clearly ahistorical, unrealistic modern …

Fundamentally, the line between ‘Bond Story’ and ‘Romance’ is basically non-existent. That’s basically because Fleming wrote them as such. We are technically supposed to end every film on the ‘she’s the one’ note, before we reset in the next one. …

They really don’t know how people actually vote in the UK. The work required to get actual information on this, for the vast majority of people — we are talking handwriting analysis based on a single line in many many cases — makes it basically impo…

It’s very tiring people comparing that there can’t be another Bond film because he died in NTTD. Casino Royale so *clearly* started a new continuity, more so than any other ‘first’ film for a Bond actor ever, and they can’t get their heads around t…

Fleabag is one of the best written things in years. I couldn’t be arsed with Killing Eve, came to it late, and wasn’t hugely struck on what I saw, or the cast. Everything PWB has been attached to since actually really makes sense (particularly the …

Atomic Blonde, Anna, Red Sparrow — there’s definitely a way to do Spy films with sex, but if Bond moves more into that direction, it will be moving further and further from its vaguely family friendly past. It’s already become more arthouse, it may…

Bond is a Romance character, no different to Mills & Boon. The story just usually follows him, rather than the female lead. Fundamentally, there is likely to be ‘steam’ or ‘spice’ and any criticism of that from one perspective (‘it’s a male fant…

Fundamentally, the Bond girl is there for people who like looking at girls, Bond is there for people that like looking at boys. Sometimes they provide a variation, and throw in a henchman or henchwoman. In terms of sex scenes, well, Goldeneye and X…

/SPOILER/ testing /SPOILER/ Ok. How do I do spoiler tags? There’s one point no one has mentioned, and I would like to mention it. It’s annoying enough that it requires me to remember how to spell and awkward character name.

‘Name and Number’ Bond the bureaucrat.

No idea how the pm system works… is there not a spoilers discussion for the book?

Keeping with the Shakespeare, how about: Mortal Coil Stacked Hand

That was amusing. I think/hope there will be a follow up. And I will be curious to see if some of the things I think are being set up are true.

As long as we don’t end up with a Thunderball variation, all will be well.
