  • The happy compromise for EON/Nolan would be faithfully adapting the Fleming novel but in a modern day setting. Wow! All my Christmases would come at once if that happened. I wouldn't just be back on board as the world's biggest Bond fan, I doubt …

  • Just to throw my 2 cents worth in here on the subject. I love the Louis Armstrong song from OHMSS, and I didn't like it being ripped off in NTTD. It just felt lazy to me, but then again, there are many things I didn't like about NTTD - that was just…
