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 wasnât badly injured, depending on who you ask, heâll be returning after a one to two week recovery, so I can joke, but it serves as an…
EON’s inexplicable ad campaign featuring photographic poses reminiscent of pharmaceutical, psychiatric, and beauty care flyers.
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 âBond 25â as the title? It has just as much…
Daniel Craig appearing in EONâs bizarre suicide prevention/pharmaceutical advert promotional campaign. This is the official synopsis of the forthcoming Bond 25: âBond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.

That chefâs name is Phoebe Waller-Bridge; apparently Ms. Bridge was brought in at Craigâs insistence.…
Conneryâs Bond has been accused in the past of being a bit ârapeyâ, most point to his seduction of Honor Blackmanâs Pussy Galore in Goldfinger as the ultimate example. Letâs take a look at that scene and compare it to another more contemporary love scene. After Bond is found under Goldfingerâs model, the nefarious bullion…
Scribbling on the Stall: Apparently Paul Haggis is back to help pen this masterpiece alongside the dynamic hack duo of Purvis and Wade with the aforementioned Mr. Burns.
