That's amazing! I am so bummed that it's completely overcast with light snowfall here in central New York State right now!

I remember about a decade ago when someone mentioned that Yahoo bought Tumblr for $1.1B in 2012 and six years later sold it for $3M and didn't see what the big deal was. I responded...

Let's say that $1M = $1. That means Yahoo bought Tumbr for $1100 and sold it for three bucks.

"Oh, NOW I get it!"

The film-within-a-film in "Amazon Women on the Moon" is a general spoof of this and other scifi films of the 1950s and early 60s, including "Destination: Moon" (1950), "Flight to Mars" (1951), "Cat-Women of the Moon" (1954), "Forbidden Planet" (1957) and "Missile to the Moon" (1958).

It really wasn't until Star Wars that movie sequels were assumed to have a solid canon that connected them. Before then, just about any new film in a franchise was a "soft reboot" in current parlance.

So... just do a soft reboot.

Heck, EON films already did that with "Casino Royale."

I really don’t wanna have to move to another new place to post my stupid shit but banning Sarah Kendzior without explanation is the reddest of flags. The people in charge here are not to be trusted

And on top of that, if every movie was in the same continuity, Bond would have to be over 100 years old. Dr. No (1962) firmly established the events were occurring in early/mid 1960s, and that Bond was already veteran operative who'd been in the spy game for at least a decade.
