Just like the first hour of the film. Now you are getting it!

Chicago: Currently watching cartoons.

American Fiction was excellent until the last ten minutes. Just couldn't quite stick the landing.

I keep seeing trailers for Monkey Man and I’m reminded that I’ve been wondering the last few years how Dev Patel isn’t already on a four picture Bond deal.

While ATJ would be my first choice for a non-diverse Bond, Dev would be preferable.

Not sure he's got the muscles for it has he?

I'd like to see a weedy Bond who hits people with lamps and pokes eyes/pinches and stuff rather than the usual macho bullshit.

So a boy Bond?

If you want a punster then surely it has to be Tim Vine?

Double 00 Seal - licensed to Krill.
The Man With The Golden Pun.

I think I'm done.

Other than Craig, had any of them?

Not really no. But maybe we should go for a lout Bond who, rather than martinis, drinks pop and lager by the litre load and then spends the rest of the film farting it out.

Movie stars weren’t so shredded back in olden times.. mainly because people hadn’t worked out the (usually horribly unhealthy) ways to get like that. I reckon Connery was in very good nick for the time though.

Good mask slip Pete.

I'd watch that film, obvs.

It doesn't require me being your ex buddy in real life to know you like pop, lager and farting, that's perfectly evident from everything you bang on about and generally how you hold yourself!

How I hold myself is none of your business.

The early ones. By Diamonds are Forever he was as (iirc) Matthew Sweet put it “looking like your dad on holiday.”

I just don’t think it’s that important. John Wick isn’t muscle bound, and he does alright.
Hence my reference to Monkey Man. Dev kicking seven bells out of all comers.

To be honest, though, as a huge Bond fan, I wonder if it’s time to wrap it up. He’s a character for another age and crow barring him into the modern era may just not work. The Craig ones (muscles and all) were diminishing returns.
Mike Myers absolutely buried Moore and Brosnan smarm, Bourne and Wick (and Nobody, which I love) took over the action reins, people aren’t really wowed by the travelogue stuff as they were 50/60 years ago, and 30(!) years ago M called him a misogynist dinosaur.

So maybe it’s just time to hang up the PPK.
