Agent 007: suave, sophisticated, very occasionally dresses up like a clown or creates motherly attachments to his chief of staff. Licensed to pun at a moment’s notice.
I’ve loved James Bond since my teens, even if he is a sexist, misogynist dinosaur.
No Time to Die comes out this year so I thought I’d put down in words a guess as to how it’ll end that, on reflection, most of the fanbase also probably believes will happen.

There’s a chap called Brant Steele who made a Hunger Games simulator1. You can play it at http://brantsteele.net/hungergames. I’ve seen a fair few runs of the simulator crop up on Tumblr (the one with Sonic the Hedgehog characters comes to mind) and I fancied a crack at it myself. I…

Die Another Day was possibly one of the worst James Bond films ever made1. In attempting to tip a hat and slyly nod to previous James Bond films, it turned into a camp over-the-top monstrosity, bloated with smug performances and a plot that wouldn’t look out of place in a…

As a die-hard James Bond fan, one of the biggest struggles is coming to terms with one of the larger ever-present issues the franchise has: continuity. If that’s a foreign word to you, it refers to how a work of fiction progresses as a whole. For example, Doctor Who has…

The third time’s the charm! This week’s theme is “Ian Fleming”, and we somehow manage to deviate heavily, driving drunkenly in a meandering fashion across an entire range of James Bond-based topics. The topics can be boiled down to the following: Murdered: Soul Suspect (video game) Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack…

I’m a big admirer of Derren Brown. He’s managed to convince 99% of people that he’s simply a stage conjurer who uses a combination of psychology, hypnotism and good old-fashioned misdirection in order to give people a good time. This is in fact a lie, and I know this because…

In this week’s guest blog post, Sam gives us a brief overview of why Hollywood still has some way to go when it comes to gender equality, and explains why attempts to make a strong female lead can backfire and result in removing part of what makes them a woman….

You have to understand that there’s a reason I like Casino Royale so much. Put yourself in my position – you’ve just watched the Bond franchise fire a nail gun into its own ball-sack over and over for two hours in the absolutely dire Die Another Day, a film that…

If there’s something to be said about A View to a Kill, it’s that it’s 80’s. Very 80’s. If AVtaK (which in itself sounds like a failed Sinclair or Amstrad computer) was a person, it would grease back its hair, wear cheap suits from Woolworths, carry a brick phone and…

I went to the nearest multiplex cinema with the two blokes and a chick yesterday, and there was an interesting turn of events. Prior to seeing the film, the two blokes weren’t brilliantly keen on Daniel Craig’s Bond and I was rather fond of him (he would rank second behind…
