Quantum is pretty cool IMO, it starts with a car chase and ends with the bad guy screaming and swinging an axe around.

Thunderball is at least funny because he passed out doing it. I have a massive affection for You Know My Name, despite not really liking anything Chris Cornell related.

If you like one-off missions, cold war period pieces, cool action, non-creepy horniness, and a female protagonist the film Atomic Blonde comes highly recommended.

I’m watching Lea Seydoux cry on a grey beach as someone climbs a long ladder. When do they just let Kojima make the movies directly?

The Amazing Race except with ski competitions, baccarat tournaments, scuba and a marksmanship range sounds kinda sick.

A period piece would be ideal, but it would severely limit the cross-promotional and product placement revenue streams. Sony phones don't really work in 1966, it's not Archer. So, we have to tolerate the film makers clumsily move the pieces around to make the UK government's #1 wetwork goon look like a hero.

It's a weird combination because Craig's Bond is presented as a deeply serious person, despite making a decent amount of jokes and the occasional bon mot. It's doubly weird because Craig is a really gifted comedic actor.

Lobok posted:I didn't used to think so but Brosnan movies now feel like TV movies. And I don't think it's anything they did wrong per se but something about modern movies & TV have retroactively made them seem that way. I think it's the clothes and the colour grading which look very 90s now. Not in a fun "x-treme" way, in a sort of businesslike end-of-history Nokia 6110 sense. I think they were going for sleek and streamlined, but it just now looks a bit poverty.

A decade or two ago Bond would’ve been throwing a Bezos standin off a luxury train into a lava flow. Look how far we’ve fallen.

The Bond game I want is Hotline Miami but you pick up uses of bon mots and dry martinis

Sherlock Holmes books are connected in a similar way, things move around and it’s not a big deal.

He’s like 20 years older than her, it’s weird. She does not seem into him at all.
