Random Guesswork: No Time to Die

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.

The Hungry Games

The Hungry Games

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 Is the Darkest James Bond Film of All

Die Another Day - Dream Mask

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…

James Bond Isn’t a Timelord

Bond 50 Lineup

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…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Casino Royale

Casino Royale

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…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: A View to a Kill

Death of Zorin

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…

A Random Collection of Thoughts on Skyfall

Skyfall

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…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: From Russia With Love

From Russia with Love

Well shit. It had to happen eventually, didn’t it? We’ve found a Bond film that I can never remember jack about, and that’s because not only is it pretty damn good, but it’s also probably the only Bond film with no gimmick other than being a straight up old-fashioned spy…

Two Blokes and a Chick Watch: Moonraker

Best moment in the film. DAT FACE.

Moonraker is often remembered as BOND IN SPACE as it’s the one film where Bond transcends his role of special agent to become an astronaut. It’s also one of the more formulaic of the Bond films, being almost a carbon-copy of its predecessor The Spy Who Loved Me, albeit with…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Die Another Day

Nyah

When Die Another Day first came out in cinemas, I went to see it an instantly took a severe dislike to it (translation: it turned me into a frothing, raging fanboy). It felt like a missed opportunity to truly celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bond ruined by CGI, bad writing…
