I know people insist it was outlandish, but I always liked Moonraker. The first three-fourths of the movie are classic Bond, and Moore is terrific in this one. Yes, the outer space stuff pushed the limits of believability, but no more so than the hollowed-out volcano in You Only Live Twice or...

A plot literally stolen from Austin Powers.

I’m still pushing Richard Madden or Tom Hiddleston.

Yes, absolutely. Those are perhaps the worst writers ever involved in the series' 60+ year history, and yet they kept using them. They're responsible for overlong, convoluted plots that don't make sense when you think about them. I have a harder time accepting P&W's complicated stories (going...

This was Quentin Tarantino’s idea for the series, and if rumors are to be believed, it is also Christopher Nolan’s idea. I think it’s a great idea. Not only do you get the nostalgia for the older crowd, not only do you separate yourself from the young imitators (Bourne, etc.), but it lends...

They also went six years in between Bonds 24 and 25 (obviously, the pandemic had something to do with that). I think Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson have decided to take their time in their old age. (Isn’t Wilson in his 80s now?) When Bond was in the midst of the zeitgeist in the 60s and...

Steven Spielberg once wanted to direct a James Bond movie. George Lucas talked him out of it and the world got Indiana Jones instead. I say we lucked out.

I like Nolan, but I hope he doesn’t get it. Nolan’s films, while technically perfect and often thrilling, lack all humor and levity. The next Bond desperately needs a pinch of that old Roger Moore humor.

I think they need a lighter Bond in the vein of Roger Moore. That’s why I think Tom Huddleston would’ve been great, but I guess he’s too old now.

Interesting choice, if true. I still would’ve preferred Tom Hiddleston, who could’ve brought menace and humor, but so be it.

They haven’t really said, although there’s been no end of speculation that they want someone less traditional. My choice would’ve been someone like Tom Hiddleston who could bring an element of humor while also keeping the menace. But I think they want someone younger.

He hasn’t been mentioned lately, but Richard Madden seems like a classic James Bond type.

I know Idris Elba is mentioned a lot to be James Bond, and while I like him as an actor and I would like to see a person of color play Bond, I think he's wrong. Elba is great in many roles - his part in The Wire was one of the best things about the best show on television - but I do not feel...

Oh no. I like Nolan too, but his films are completely humorless and that is not what Bond needs now. Also, after decades of Bond films with complicated plots, they do not need the king of complicated plots, Mr. Nolan. Also, let’s hope “reinvention” means new writers. The same pair of...

I hope they take a lighter approach this time. Sprinkle some Roger Moore on the Sean Connery.
