Well, they have never lied to me
Solitaire is an interesting Bond girl in Live And Let Die. Her naivete and innocence, juxtaposed with Bond’s confidence and manipulation make for a unique Bond and Bond girl relationship. It certainly wasn’t Bond’s proudest romp, especially with his tarot… Read More →

No way Villeneuve mucks it up, right?
I just can’t see it happening. His track record alone bodes well. I guess if other things out of his control cause big issues – like the next actor chosen as Bond? But even then, surely he has some input… Read More →

Only direction: Don’t impersonate a previous Bond

Lazenby shines in the Piz Gloria raid
And really everything about this scene from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was great. It still had a dose of 1960s campiness, but that was vastly outshined by blaring the original James Bond theme and the awesome Swiss Alps at… Read More →

“Seemingly only interested in A-List candidates”…terrible
Amazon – please, no. An A-list actor for the James Bond role is not what the franchise needs right now. It’d feel so superficial and underwhelming. A truly fresh start would only come with a relatively unknown actor. Read More →

Trevelyan’s GoldenEye death added insult to injury
Not only did he miraculously live after a fall from a significant height, a gigantic satellite fell directly on his yelling face pulverizing him to smithereens. Extreme! Read More →

Me honey and me make boolooloop soon
This line from “Underneath the Mango Tree” from Dr. No made me scratch my head the first few times I heard it. Is “boolooloop”…what I think it is? Yes, in fact, it is. It’s sex. Or at least some variation… Read More →
