… you know, I’ve just realised that if I was running a major film property and wanted to drum up online chat without much effort, I could make up a ridiculous story that I had no idea what to do with the simple, popular concept of said property.
Hmmm.

There is a moment in all of Moore's post Moonraker films, where Bond stops and thinks "Was I really in space? No, I can't have been in space. Fuck me, I was, I was in fucking space!"

No-one bothered to explain how Felix Leiter has gone from one legged David Hedison to two legged Jeffrey Wright. My suspension of disbelief is utterly broken.
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."

It’s almost like Casino Royale EXPLICITLY BEING A REBOOT provides a clue to solve this non-issue that some consultant is going to charge Amazon six figures to solve.
In other news I am available for such consultation.

because they didn't know when to come in
why did they knock on the door again?

“Celia Imrie. You know, the Naboo Starfighter pilot from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.”
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

I’d feel better about learning Spanish if my brain could accept that “I gave it to you” is structured as “To you it I gave.”
Except, of course, when it isn’t, and “usted” or “ustedes” is randomly rammed in there and never the one I suspect.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?
After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.
