My last word on the matter
Just never acknowledge it. Elordi drives a sports car through a tunnel, kicks a goon off a roof, gun-barrel opening, off to the races. Who cares
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.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

First episode is great, terrific premise, banging central performance, I’m excited to watch more, but what really got me was there’s a bit halfway through with a sandwich board being used in an inventive way that was the real “Ah it’s a Vince Gilligan show, this is the good stuff” moment for me

… created by designer THEYRE LEE-ELLIOT, the letters of which can replace the bottom row, forming new words throughout! Very smart! Big tick from me. I like the 180 degree symmetry ones; great satisfaction in fitting the grid together.

wildly wildly entertaining froth. I seem to remember it becoming crap once it introduces the big Evil Government Department but the early episodes are a pulpy joy

Still slaps. Ludicrously violent, like, at times it’s less action film and more body horror, but has just enough of a sense of humour to never be totally horrible. At one point two guys are squaring up & it cuts to reveal they’re standing in a warehouse filled w power tools and I burst out laughing
