  • It has been pointed out by others here but I think dark comedy works better in Bond movies than bolted-on, out of context dad jokes (noting, of course, that sometimes these can be effective). A well-written dark comedy featuring death, murder, as…
  • @007HallY Getting to see all the movies on the big screen in recent years has been a real treat. Broadly speaking, I noted that younger folk tended to be more engaged with the Connery movies than the Moore ones (which surprised me - I would’ve th…

  • For anyone who has watched ‘The Gentlemen’ all the way through and fancies James as the next Bond (!), are there any specific episodes or scenes that stand out that give him a chance to demonstrate his range? I am not a Ritchie fan (to put it mildl…

  • talos7 wrote: » If Nolan wants ATJ for Bond, keep him as far away from the franchise, a “ Prisoner “ if need be…so to speak Amen to that!
  • I’ve been thinking further about The Sun’s report about EON “waiting to hear back” from ATJ - maybe he has been calling but because Barbara doesn’t have the hearing range of a dog, his attempts have been unsuccessful.

  • For me, I would objectively consider NTTD to be an average Bond movie and AVTAK to be in the bottom 3-4 of all Bonds (the pros being Moore, Walken, Jones, Macnee, the theme tune, its cons being Moore’s age and an awful ‘plodding’ and TV movie feel t…

  • I would suggest watching The Gold, if anyone doubts Lowden’s ‘bastard quality’. If we’re looking at ‘Baby Bond’ candidates (<35), my top 3 would be: 1. Lowden (he would also have the option of giving us a Scottish accent) 2. Egerton (Kingsma…
