They made a big mistake to update and ‘modernise’ Bond. They should still make Bond movies, but they should all be set in the 1960s. Long live classic spy-fi !!

No, you’re thinking of Batman.

Hoagie Carmichael? Wasn’t he the former African American political radical turned sandwich shop proprietor?

This reminds that all the talk of an _Atlas Shrugged_ movie does not excite me. Hollywood will probably butcher it.

The one Bond film that actually has any meaning, or is about anything, is On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Not only does Bond seem scared at times, but actually seems vulnerable too, in the scene where he’s being pursued in the small Swiss village, as Tracy skates up and saves him.
All of the other Bond films are to one degree or another meaningless, dull, morally repugnant (Bond threatens numerous women with beatings, including his beloved wife Tracy — and actually beats up Maud Adams in The Man With The Golden Gun) and absurd (not one scene in Die Another Day is believable).
Live and Let Die is a great book, but it’s also terribly racist, and the message of Goldfinger is that all a lesbian really needs is one good man to turn her around.

It was certainly a grace. Enough to be saving? Of that I’m less sure.

Ah, but the 1950s TV version of “Casino Royale” DID have one saving grace — the wonderful Peter Lorre as the very first filmed Bond villain!

I used to have a complete set of the original 13 Bond books (not 1st printings, unfortunately) and I agree. They are much more interesting than the movies. The books that were NOT written by Ian Fleming don’t even exist as far as I’m concerned .
