All you buy me is five minutes
In Spectre, although I enjoy when Bond saves Lucia Sciarra from assassination, Monica Bellucci’s character is a bit flawed, albeit through no fault of her own. I think she was a good casting, but for a poor role. She needed… Read More →

Bond’s St. Cyril’s rock climbing is madness
Little did we know that in For Your Eyes Only it’d be revealed that our British Secret agent had rock climbing skills?! I’m surprised Bond didn’t reject Columbo’s climbing proposal from the outset. No thanks! Read More →

Zero interest: 007 video games or books
Yes, I obsessively played GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64 and loved it, and I also read all of the Fleming Bond novels a long time ago. But recently, and maybe it’s just because I’m getting older, but these two mediums… Read More →

‘007: Road to a Million’ – zero interest
Has anybody actually watched season 1? Let alone will tune in to the upcoming season 2? A James Bond themed game show/competition does not sound compelling to me in the slightest. Another (common) marketing miss for the James Bond powers-that-be.… Read More →
