My last rant concerned some of the schemes devised by villains in the series and the rise of independent megalomaniacs due to EONâs historic reluctance to get political. This time around Iâd like to look at some of the villains themselves, specifically the last four to have soiled our screens. Iâm not going to…
As we await the run up to the pre-production of Bond 25, I thought we could take a look back to a statement made by Michael G. Wilsonâs son Greg concerning the direction of the series. The younger Wilson said after the release of SPECTRE: âWeâve just begun to doodle with ideas for the…
The title to this rant is a reference to something Craig said a while ago concerning the darker direction his films took compared to his predecessors. Of course Craigâs quote was far cruder, containing his obligatory F-bomb, but what else would you expect from a man who looks like a longshoreman? His implication is…
After re-reading Casino Royale recently I wondered what if Brosnan had been given Flemingâs final unfilmed property as his swan song, instead of the overly bloated Die Another day. Or at the very least had they put that property in their pocket and waited until Craig had established a few missions under his belt…
The âwokeâ militias of the Hollywood Illuminati have been beating the battle drums for a female Bond more and more recently. Even British Prime Minister Theresa May waded in to the fray to demand a lady Bond. Well, Iâm happy to say Barbara Broccoli has finally put all this nonsense to bed by…
Iâve seen many a pundit point to the box office take of Craigâs films as evidence of his greatness in the role. Far too many of whom thrust forward the unadjusted figures proclaiming him the âHighest Grossing Bond of all time and therefore the best!â And that statement is true; in that Craig is…
From the first time cinematic Bond stepped off the silver screen in Dr. No right up to today the phrase âJames Bond Will Returnâ appeared at the close of the ending credits. However, now thanks to the latest internet rumors that slogan could be in jeopardy. According to the internet Barbara Broccoli, Daniel Craig…
And so it begins, or should I say doesnât. Once more EON has begun rumblings of the great progress theyâre making in the lead up to principle photography. Only history has shown what a great pile of bollocks those statements have been. Every film from Quantum of Solace right up through Spectre we were…
Recently the question has been asked how will Bond navigate the new #metoo era, the answer should be, in the same way he navigated every other social change, by being a constant in an ever changing world of upheaval. When the hippies hit the scene in the late sixties did Conneryâs Bond don a…
Our warmest wishes for a happy holiday season!
