In a twelve month period, Britain produced Doctor No, Doctor Who, The Royal National Theatre and the first Beatles album. What the fuck were they putting in the water in 1963? Can I have some?

"Oh no. James Bond died. How can we write a new film that makes sense?? Anyway, here is Bond's Girlfriend: Denise Tits."

Sorry. Too much Bond talk today. But it's laser focused at too many of the things that I'm specifically angry about.

The reason James Bond has different faces and styles and an inconsistent history and can die and come back is because he's a film character who's appeared in a series of movies across 60+ years.

"JAMES BOND" IS NOT A CODENAME. HE ALREADY HAS A CODENAME. IT IS 007. RESIST THE URGE TO CANONISE STUFF. CANONISATION IS THE MIND KILLER. CANONISATION IS AMERICAN

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

The thing about the Bond discourse is the *intense* blindness and limitation of seeing it as a pretend history that merely happens not to be true. It's not that "it's not that, it's something else", it's different things at different times.

I truly cannot emphasise enough the extent to which this can fuck off, and Horowitz with it. It's asinine.
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."

I reckon a shared national popular culture is just as important (if not more important) than a fact based, impartial news service for liberal democracy to work.

I'm either tired of immensely self-serious internet scolds who apply crude readings derived from 21st century US tropes to literature from outside that ecosystem like it's a charter mark OR of immensely self-serious internet scolds who can't see a joke in front of their face. Either I win. And lose!

I've made myself a lovely little espresso, piled a plate high with little pastries, stirred honey and jam through a bowl of yoghurt, poured a glass of orange juice and taken the lot on a tray to my armchair next to the radiator where my book is waiting.
