I wish the traditions that audiences enjoy so much were upheld in the new series, but that would require more than just less screen time for M (and Moneypenny, and Q). It would also require that they not be adjusted to make some politically correct statement. For example of how to do it right...

The new song is risible. The worst of the series. I've heard some dumb title songs in cheesy spy flicks and Bond imitations from the 1960s, but nothing as bad as this. At least "You Know My Name" had good lyrics. After the travesty of Casino Royale my expectations for the next one were never...

Live and Let Die (1973) has a car chase, a plane chase, and a boat chase, not to mention a bus chase, and they are all pretty limp. Man With the Golden Gun (1974) repeats the car chase and the boat chase, and then the car turns into a plane and escapes, so I'm not sure if that qualifies as a...

It's not who the actors are, but the writing they're given to work with. Juggle the actors and the scripts and Moore or Dalton could just as easily exchange this same dialog with Dench. You make a very good point with regard to M's relationship with Bond. We've listened to her ragging...

I'm laughing at the male characters because they're so pussywhipped I can't believe in them. But I do appreciate your taking the time to discuss the film on its merits, Adam, instead of stooping to name calling.

Go climb your thumb wiseguy. From now on I'll ignore you.

Who are you calling names? Calling posters ignorant is rude and inappropriate here, and I'm going to ask the moderator to remind you of your manners. It is a carefully considered and well-grounded statement.

Your comparison is a little confused. Bond is supposed to hang out with women in the fast lane who want to be hung out with. Consensual sex between grown-ups is what it's all about, Adam. Come on now. It should not be an issue for commentary. Judging Bond because he likes girls? This is where...

I despise the agenda Barbara Broccoli imposed on Casino Royale and I have contempt for the film. I'm aware that most people don't agree, and that's fine. If you want to sit there and be scolded for two and a half hours, it's no business of mine. To paraphrase Mary Poppins, a spoonful of action...

I thought they were going to give Bond 22 the tile ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! like the sitcom. I don't mind Craig, but I object to how the character of James Bond is redefined, if not subverted. The underlying subtext imposed by Barbara Broccoli is backhanded, and once you stop to think about it, an...
