Kindly omit the customary by-play with 007
In Goldfinger, M tells Moneypenny over the speaker to skip talking to Bond outside his office… so can M just listen in on Moneypenny whenever he wants? Or did he just assume their interaction was taking place and delaying Bond’s… Read More →

Fine, I’ll ask: how did Safin live?
I mean come on…a young Madeleine Swann miraculously empties a 12 bullet clip at him (with most shots connecting) and he lives?! Such an irritating start to No Time To Die. Either show more of the post-home invasion interactions with… Read More →

Just push every damn button, will you?!
Mary Goodnight from The Man With The Golden Gun has to be the most frustrating Bond girl (and maybe even any character in general) of all the Bond movies. Any time she appears, you can anticipate an eyeroll for her… Read More →

You know I can’t stand that thing
I don’t blame Lupe Lamora for calling out Franz Sanchez and his weird diamond-draped iguana in Licence To Kill. It’s probably my only knock against Sanchez as a villain. Otherwise, he is one of the best villains of all time.… Read More →

Bond 26 screen tests with GoldenEye lines
It’s interesting that the public heard this tidbit about screen tests for the next James Bond actor. I was a little surprised at the choice of GoldenEye, however, I can’t imagine it was the only previous Bond movie acted out. … Read More →

I stole the blueprints of this car
Quite the admission from Triple X in The Spy Who Loved Me. She masterfully deploys an underwater explosive while sitting shotgun next to Bond in the Q-assigned Lotus Esprit as if it were her own. A two spy love affair… Read More →

Who is the biggest Bond dork? Lazenby
It’s a combination of his bellowing, sometimes overbearing voice, hist outfit choices and probably just culturally some of the aspects of the late 1960s/early 1970s that crowns George Lazenby as the dorkiest Bond overall. Doesn’t matter though – On Her… Read More →
