Super Ad!

Is it just me, or has the quality at Madam Tussauds’ dropped off lately?   The first Sunday in February saw a sporting event of a “Super” magnitude here in the United States. This celebrated “Bowl” game is renown for it’s very expensive commercial blocks. This year ad spots cost upwards of $5.6 million U.S.…

Property Of A Sad Lady

From my cold dead hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   According to this articleĀ Barbara Broccoli is a rather forlorn woman.Ā It seems the prospect of Ms Babz losing her favorite boy toy has her lamenting in abject misery. Quote: Broccoli told Variety: ā€œI’m in total denial. ā€œI’ve accepted what Daniel has said, but I’m still in denial. It’s too traumatic…

And The Band Played On

No Time To Float   It seems the fickle finger of fate has once again wagged itself at the production of No Time To Die, this time in the form of composer Dan Romer’s exit a scant four months from release! According to this article the ouster was in the works as early as November…

Noh Means Dr. No?

That bell shaped coat makes Malek look like a ding dong.   There is a ridiculous rumor floating around that Rami Malek’s character “Safin” will in fact turn out to be Dr. Julius No. I say ridiculous, but in reality nothing about EON surprises me anymore. Five years ago when the Blofeld as Bond’s foster…

Where Have All The Pundits Gone?

Hey look, something else to ascribe politics upon and bicker over! I’ve spoken ad-nausea lately about the warring factions fighting the good fight over the prospect of lady “007” and other politically charged rumors surrounding No Time To Die. In fact I’ve probably spent more time covering them than they have covering the film, I’ve…

Copyright Infringement

InĀ the case of your author, it’s more like dummy for copyright   Last rant I left you with baited breath on the subject of Lashana Lynch’s “007” status getting revoked. I personally believe this may be for reasons other than fan displeasure as claimed in this article. I know nothing about the subject of copyright…

Tampon Tamp-down

If anybody was excited to see this film, that’s been rectified!   Last rant, I discussed Lashana Lynch’s comments regarding her desire to include a scene wherein she disposes of a tampon. I still believe this to be a troll by the actress, however the longer it goes uncorrected the more damage is done. EON…

Period, Full Stop.

Not the period we’re talking about   In a recent article posted in the Hollywood ReporterĀ regarding No Time To Die, Lashana Lynch stated her desire to include a scene in which she disposes of a tampon. Let us put this bit of punctuational paraphernalia disposal on pause for a moment whilst we explore the rest…

No Peeking!!!!

Clasp your hands and close your eyes then get ready for a big surprise!   Shortly after my last rant concerning Aston Martin and the “homages” in which two of their vintage vehicles will be appearing, the No Time To Die second unit descended upon the sleepy little Italian village of Matera to begin filming…

Martin, Aston Martin

Believe it or not I didn’t create this image! Since I’m fresh from my vacation in California’s Monterey Bay for “Car Week,” where an Aston Martin DB5 used in promotion for Thunderball was sold for a record $6.4 million. I thought I’d reach back to aĀ rumor from AprilĀ that Bond 25 Director Cary Funkenstien wanted to…

Spin, Spin, Spin

Take a spin on EON’s newest attraction!   The wheel of misfortune has been spinningĀ on the set of Bond 25 faster than the corpse of Ian Fleming, with bad news coming so fast and furious a few items have fallen through the cracks, especially in the wake of the female “007” news and I’m sure…

The Spy Who Loved #MeToo

  Since the news of the new female “007” broke last week the internet exploded.   Every Barney Fife caliber, red meat “alpha male” who think they’re 3 push ups away from becoming a commando has posted a blog, vlog or rant excoriating “Jane Bond.” I’m not a huge fan of what’s going on, but…

Oh, Oh, Feminism!

    From Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary:   ā€œClickbait:Ā something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interestā€   Click here! Click here! The next installment of the James Bond franchise will feature a FEMALE ā€œ007!ā€   Note ā€œ007ā€…

Pumping Iron and Other Substances

Daniel Craig fresh from working out on set. Sorry this gag never gets old, unlike Craig.     EON released the preceding photo on their Twitter account a few days ago, I’m assuming to assure everyone Dan hasn’t fallen off his special muscle ā€œsupplements.ā€ Unfortunately all it did was bring this image to mind.  …

Ruled By an Iron Fist in an Iron Glove Wielded By an Iron Lady?

Barbara ā€œBabbzyā€ Broccoli, yes she actually calls herself that folks. Check this email she sent in 2014 to Sony head Amy Pascal, wherein she infers Jamaica is a dangerous “shit hole” to paraphrase a certain embattled American politician and note Babbz’ email address.Ā . This is a woman who egotistically states she rules her production company…

Break A Leg (and other odds and ends)

May 15, 2019, a profound historic event was reported on all the major news wires, namely that Daniel Craig fell down and went boom. Thankfully it appears Dan wasn’t badly injured, depending on who you ask, he’ll be returning after a one to two week recovery, so I can joke, but it serves as an…

Bohemian Travesty

Is EON grooming Rami Malek to play Howard the Duck in an Oscar bait biopic about the titular mallard?!   In the recent press junket (emphasis junk) the cast for the as yet unnamed Bond 25 was confirmed. I wonder why not just stick with ā€œBond 25ā€ as the title? It has just as much…

SHATTERCLIPSE: Apropos of Nothing

A copy of the Bond 25 script acquired at high cost of lives and money for you the reader!     Dateline, April 25, 2019, EON Productions interrupts your busy day to hold a press conference for Bond 25 in order to inform you nothing is happening! Yes you read that right EON’s coterie of…
