Speaking of what’s acceptable today, read this earlier https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68596039.amp “Sadism for the whole family” might be on the way out. I think Bond will probably end up biting the bullet and going 15/R rated o…

I’m loving The Gentlemen and although I liked the idea of James before, I can really picture it now. He’d be brilliant. He’s smooth, charismatic and commanding in that natural, alpha, Connery sort of way. Might be rivaling Jack O’Connell for my favo…

I think an AI baddy could have been fun, if MI hadn’t got there first. Maybe the villain could have some super advanced AI henchman/drone system. They did seem to be leaning back into high tech a bit more with NTTD.

I don’t think Moore aged badly at all, he looked fine until AVTAK and I put that down to the botox more than anything. The problem imo was pairing him up with much younger women, that’s what made him look so old. And that’s what makes me doubt that …

That looks great. Loved the film apart from the attempted rape bit and it looks like a fun sequel. Brilliant cast. My money’s still on them going for someone younger though.

Yeah I’d put Villenueve in the same bracket as Nolan. He could make a good one, but the time to get him was the Craig era. I can’t see anything he’d do being different enough in tone to those films now. CrabKey wrote: » What I don't want to see…

@Univex The problem with starting off with a Bond in his 40s now is it puts a ticking clock on seeing him in his prime, if the actor ages suddenly in the way that Craig did. Pierce was cast when they were getting out a film every two years. Those da…

I think Theo James could’ve been great but I would probably put him in the could’ve been category now. Just that bit too old. We probably won’t get Bond 26 for another few years and I don’t think they’ll want to follow up the Craig era, which spent …

If killing Bond off wasn’t bold we wouldn’t still be arguing about it. And I still think it was the most satisfying way to end a fifth Craig film. Creasy47 wrote: » It's not even an earned "hero's death" by the end for me. The ticking time bomb…
