  • But it was always unexpected, how they swung from horror to romance to intrigue to joy, and back again. There is a style to the directing that I enjoy. Well said, and why I love the film. Fukunaga’s a very talented storyteller, both as a writ…
  • And no, he’s not a spy taking orders from M in NTTD. Have you actually seen it?! I wondered the same. Either Mendes saw the film and didn’t understand the simple beats, or he hasn’t seen it at all.

  • I like watching Craig’s Bond be more relaxed and at ease too; which is why I thought NTTD did a much better job at showcasing that than SP did. I liked seeing Bond partying with Felix in Jamaica, seeing him attempt to seduce Nomi by bringing her bac…

  • I hope people will read the last three posts, very, very carefully. I think that some want a specific kind of equation to this, like 1 + 1 = 2 And others want to hear readers cries, in their silo of DOOOOOM. But it’s been beautifully stated…
  • but it's still important that yound people are becoming interested in Bond, as they did in previous eras, in order to have some affiliation or strong feeling that they take with them through their adult lives. @Mendes4Lyfe ... Why do you keep…

  • @DarthDimi , although the spec transactions are running at historic lows, it still does exist. With the winning formula you mention above, I suggest we write on spec and then go wide with it, dazzling the studio system. They won’t be able to help…
