A series of individual maniacs. (Enough Spectre-nostalgia).

Next director:

Someone who already directed a Bond film.

Or

Some completely new talent.

2 Likes

Completely new talent. Bond no.7 needs a hard break from what came before following Craig’s more connected run

Out of 2 overqualified but very good for the part actors…

Next M?

Mark Gatiss

Or

Jonny Lee Miller

3 Likes

Gatiss.

Although both are too young in my mind. Therefore:

Next M

as young or even younger than Bond

Or

Much older, a father figure

1 Like

Younger than Bond (though that’s difficult with a young Bond). Mainly because I like the idea that M is really a career job that doesn’t end in that office. And therefore an eager young professional in Whitehall customs would be the logical character to make the most of a blunt tool such as Bond (or the 00 section as a whole).

Next villain…

…feeding on an exclusive diet of powdered female mummies

Or

…resembling an evil version of Santa Claus, tattooed all over with curses and obscene images that become ‘alive’ in his twisted mind.

Seem’s more Fleming. Sexist and macabre at the same time

Bond 7

Leaning into the fantastic of late Connery/Moore/Brosnan

Or

Mid Connery/Dalton/Craig of realistic as long as you don’t ask questions

I’m nervous about responding in this thread in case I get suspended again, but the question seems harmless enough so I’ll take a chance and say late Connery/Moore/ Brosnan. DAF was my first and Moore was always worth waiting for.

Thanks for the reminder.

More M / Q / Moneypenny / Tanner in the field
or
Less
?

…it really depends on whether NTTD keeps that going or not

But I’ll say less, for the same reason I’ve often used in regards to Bond 7, so as to be a very different beast than Craig’s run

Horowitz’ third

Or

Dynamite’s 11th (if we look only at the core series)

Which will more likely match YOUR idea of Bond?

Horowitz’s third. For whatever reason, I’ve never taken to the Bond comics.

IOI’s Bond game:

Open world
OR
Linear
?

Open world…It would be great if you could go back and forth between various missions / stages in the game to pick up items or clues you may have missed during your first play through.

Bond’s 60th Anniversary in 2022… Will they:

Hold off on the fun surprises and announcements until Oct. 5th (JB Day)
OR
No, they’ll be giving us things throughout the year…?

Neither. We likely won’t get anything outside of Horotwitz’s book. If they couldn’t take advantage of the year 2-007, I doubt we’ll get anything for the 60th. Wait what am I saying we’ll be either getting NTTD then or 2023.

Will October hold:
Yes, we’ll finally be seeing NTTD
OR
No, anti-vaxxers continue to ruin it for us
?

Yes we will see it. (Well. maybe not us here in Sydney. We could have seen it all last year but not now!)

Preferred Bond theme:-

Tomorrow Never Dies

or

Writing’s on the Wall

?

No contest, Tomorrow Never Dies

Preferred action scene for Bond 26:

An extended aerial dogfight with one of the villains in a fighter jet going Mano a Mano against Bond in a small, fast, gadget-laden plane

Or

An extended underwater dogfight with the villain’s submarine squaring off with Bond in a highly maneuverable, quick, gadget-laden mini-sub

?

(By the way, I’d like to see one of the above scenarios in Bond 26 and the other in Bond 27, doesn’t matter the order.) :smiley:

Difficult because both have the tendency to have a disconnecting effect on me - I prefer Bond in close contact with a villain, without technical tools which are hard to maneuver.

But I would prefer the underwater fight, just because, you know, THUNDERBALL.

Let´s stay on this subject:

  • a personal fight between Bond and the main villain

or

  • an assault on the villain´s headquarters with the whole cavalry brought in to support Bond

Assault with commandos. It’s been too long since we’ve had that.

For Bond 7:
Henry Cavill
OR
Charlie Hunnam
?
