Worse choice for a Bond director:

At least Abrams would copy what went before
Same vein…

Martin Campbell
Or
Sam Mendes
Definitely Martin Campbell. His contributions to the series were more balanced, whereas Mendes (despite my love of SF) took things a bit too far in a number of ways (especially in SP) and wound up polarizing much of the fandom. Even though I am more forgiving of SP than most, it was still a needlessly divisive film, and I put a lot of the blame for that on some of Mendes’ questionable decisions.
Preferred duration of the next Bond actor’s tenure:
A trilogy
Or
Eight films?
Eight films
1967 Casino Royale
Or
2006 Casino Royale
2006
When do you think the next Bond movie will be made?
Between 2023 and 2030
or
After 2030
??
Between 2023 and 2030. The Amazon acquisition should end any more questions about funding that have plagued the series since Dalton’s tenure.
Fiona Volpe
OR
Fatima Blush
?
Both good but have to go with Fiona Volpe.
Would you prefer the next main Bond girl be:
(Asian) Indian
or
Hispanic
?
Depends on whether Bond is white or not.
Neither if he is white since Bond-as-Colonizer is not a good look for Amazon.
Feel free to suggest another choice…
Mod note: one post split into its own discussion
For entirely random reasons - I flipped a coin -
Indian
The next villain’s megalomaniac toy:
A toy train and village in real life dimensions with randomly abducted people as playing figures
or
A herd of generically altered hyenas to chase and dispose of illoyal/unsatisfactory/undesirable employees.
Both are very Lewis Gilbert.
I’ll go hyena. A good director could make that scene properly scary…like Lewis Gilbert did.
Bond 26 henchmen?
Evil Bond (Red Grant etc etc)
Or
Powerful Mute with a gimmick (Odd Job etc etc)
We’ve oddly had both in the last 2 Bond films: Silva and Hinx (though Hinx did say one word), but I’ll go with evil Bond.
Where should Bond visit next (that is never really mentioned as a potential destination)
Indonesia
OR
Papua New Guinea
?
Indonesia
Better PTS:-
Moonraker
or
Octopussy
??
Both great but I’ll give the edge to Moonraker.
Bond 26 should be:
Based on a continuation novel
or
An entirely new and independent screenplay
?
New screenplay.
Would you rather:-
or
??
Direct. Great Bond films were initially flops (OHMSS, LTK)
Would you rather:
be a co-writer on a Bond film
OR
be a cinematographer on a Bond film
?
Co-writer by far.
Would you rather be:
The parent of a Bond villain actor
or
The parent of a Bond woman actor
?
