I’m tending to side with folks who suggest ignoring Bond altogether
Internet high five for you sir. Other than good stunts, jaws and bowler hat man the old ones are rubbish and haven’t aged well at all. I never really understood the appeal of the character if I’m being honest and he’s a really shitty spy. Skyfall and Casino Royale are pretty good though
Got to start at the beginning with Dr No then in chronological order, its the only way
didn’t Dalton get chummy with the Mujahedeen/Taliban in the living daylights?
The CIA spent decades funding them when they were fighting the Russians. I think it's important to understand that today's enemy was probably yesterday's friend etc and the world isn't simple black and white, but just endless shades of grey, which change over the years.
Same with the racism / sexism, it's as important to realise / know how bad it was / where we've come from as it is to understand what is considered acceptable today (which probably won't be acceptable in 10 years time).
