Bird never make nest in bare tree
Quite the Japanese proverb, Bond. And referencing it regarding your chest hair – also a choice. It’s relevant I guess, just always struck me as odd. Read More →

Bond 26 needs to keep it simple
No extravagant, complicated plots. No back-stabbings or double agents. I don’t really even need an exotic location. How about a domestic (UK) threat with a straightforward, cut and dry problem? Like kidnapping or extortion. Maybe money laundering or some other… Read More →

The most realistic villain is Elliot Carver
A media conglomerate with as much power as Carver Media Group Network in Tomorrow Never Dies has to be the most realistic villainous organization in modern times. Sure, a drug cartel like Franz Sanchez or Kananga’s could wield serious power… Read More →

Geriatric Brosnan Bond in Bond 26? Maybe
Brosnan touched on this topic in a recent interview, which seems like an interesting prospect. However, I could only see a flash-forward or cameo-type scenario as a plausible Pierce Brosnan role as Bond in Bond 26. I certainly don’t think… Read More →

“James Bond has to be James Bond.”
Yes, Helen Mirren, we know. Not sure why she chimed in on this specifically. We’ve heard zero rumors about a female James Bond – who would obviously not be named James Bond. The argument (if there is one?) is just… Read More →

I could come in for a nightcap
This is a great throwaway line from Sir Rog from Octopussy. He obviously knows he’s not allowed to stay with Magda at Kamal Khan’s estate – maybe he was trying to make Gobinda chuckle? Also, Magda is a top-tier Bond… Read More →

No Bond 26 in 2026 – a shame
it’s another simple, missed marketing opportunity…similar to not having a James Bond “007” movie released in 2007. I’m hoping the Amazon movies are released more frequently! Read More →

My most frequently watched Bond decade? 1960s
And it’s kinda not even close. There’s just some innocence about the movies that keep me coming back to them and comparing them to modern Bond movies. Sure, they set the standard, but they were also blissfully unaware (rightly so)… Read More →

Doesn’t that do something to you, 007?
“It does, but I’m being trained to ignore it.” Casino Royale (1967) spoofed James Bond so hard their agent Cooper’s mission training was to resist the charms of women. Including physically throwing them to the ground upon flirtations. Also, everyone… Read More →
