Heh! That's why that film about him on Christmas Day was so nice to watch: despite the occasional bit of wife trouble he just seemed to have a pretty perfect and happy life.

Yeah, well-put. And I'd say that's what the Hoagy Carmichael/Henry Cotton thing is, or even Bond as drawn by the Daily Express comic strip artists: he's not blandly good-looking.

Oh yeah good point, that is a good example and it does seem like the kind of thing bookBond would say, and I have the same reaction to you at it: I kind of think James is being a bit of a dick and he's just wrong. Dr No was released the very same d…

As long as I can buy that women will be attracted to him, I don't need him to look like a comic book character.

Oh gosh, I can't care about that. They wouldn't pack Aston Martins with guns either; if it's not something I'm thinking about while I'm watching it I can't worry about it. We can construct all sorts of backstories which would make its existence more…

Yes there's nothing personal about a decoding device, or at least as it is as it stands in those films. And I know folks will say they don't want anything personal in Bond films (even though he falls in love in every one), but I do: it makes it more…

Oh yes, I knew I was forgetting some! :D

Yeah agreed, I think all of the films make more sense that way: that M is just in charge of the 00 section rather than all of MI6. I don't buy that the real C is personally briefing actual SIS officers. That's why I wouldn't mind the new films show…

I think there's plenty more candidates than on that short list too: Harris Dickinson, Aaron Pierre, Josh O'Connor, Sope Dirisu, Taron Egerton, Jack Lowden etc.

Yup, one of the very best.
