I'd watch a film about the Bond writers all living in a tightly guarded prison, held at gunpoint, and believing since birth that Bond is real and the events they are forced to write all come true, as appears to be the case.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Been having p much no real joy with using a CPAP machine and had a check-in with NHS today. I was feeling a bit like what's the point but they were so amazing, just mega encouraging and also assuring me there are diff setups they can try plus v determined that I wouldn't think it's my fault.

Kind of funny that the biggest PS5 videogame of the year avoids any of the strawman myths which the curator discusses trying to challenge in this article. Or that a discourse between a PS5 game and a museum show on this subject is on a fairly level playing field.
