Should actual stunts take priority over CGI?
I’m firmly in the camp that wants Bond 26 to prioritize practical stunt work whenever possible. Casino Royale‘s record-setting Aston Martin rollover remains an all-time action moment precisely because it was real, while Spectre‘s massive desert explosion showed the impact… Read More →

Slippery Slope: The Domesticated James Bond
I recently came across a report claiming that Ian Fleming disliked dogs, which may help explain why James Bond never had a faithful four-legged companion. Which makes practical sense really, since a globe-trotting secret agent would hardly be an ideal… Read More →

Young Bond author Charlie Higson recently weighed in on the death of James Bond in No Time to Die, arguing that if the producers “had any sense,” they’d do exactly the above. At first, I agreed with the sentiment outright,… Read More →

No Time To Have All The Time
Despite the atrocity that is James Bond’s death at the end of No Time To Die, I enjoyed the throwback tune of We Have All the Time in the World by Louis Armstrong. It was a nice nod to On… Read More →
