Agree re Spectre- that one was terrible! On a par with Quantum and Die another Day.
This one looks ok but it’s all turning into a bit of a miniseries isn’t it- keeping all of the characters (and toys) that people have previously liked and coming up with a plot to fit it all in.
I think that Quantum of Solace was pretty good and the Daniel Craig films have deteriorated as the series has progressed. The first three were still good and Spectre started well, but ultimately stunk the place out.
Good to see. Tim Dalton* and a garage full of Beemers was a real low point. I think the Craig era has brought back a whiff of Britishness, albeit with modern adult realism and less adolescent secret spy stuff.
Piemonster and I passed through when they were filming on the intake for the Pattack Hydro scheme. I think there were 8 locations in Ardverickie Estate. Of course, they might not all make it into the final cut.
I have no issues with any of the Daniel Craig ‘Bonds’, Roger Moore, on the other hand…
Swapping out the machine guns behind the indicators for miniguns behind the headlights, then doing donuts with them is fantastic, I loved that bit.
I’m sure a few might get a bit sniffy when they discover there’s a female 00 agent, and have a fit of the vapours on social meeja and in the Daily Wail…

Helicopter scene over Pattack and the rolling car alongside Loch Laggan.
Next?
We were staying in Newtonmore when they were filming at the back end of July (although we didn’t know until we were talking to someone in a shop in Aviemore on the last couple of days).
There was a line of about 6 blacked out Range Rovers that kept coming through the village of an evening.
Trailer looks good – I’ve liked all of the Craig era Bond’s – even Quantum grows on me the more I watch it.
I think that Quantum is quite a clever film. The bad guy doesn’t threaten nuclear extintion from a submarine hidden in a volcano on the moon, he does something far more believably evil in switching off a country’s water supply then demanding a ransom from a corrupt leader desperate to stay in power.
Also, the lady 00 in this looks like a great character. Cool, witty and hard. I just hope that she survives beyond the credits.
Argh it’s all orange and blue like Every Other Big Film. Murq and turq. Pisses me off, as once seen cannot unsee.
Next 007 movie features a black Jane Bond.
INCELs across the Internet collectively lose their shit.
Will probably anyway.
I figured out a long time ago that any non-white and/or female character/s in Western Media TM are default subject to the paradox that similarly haunts alcoholics.
1 = a ‘token’
More than 1 = never enough (‘for the PC brigade’!)

I had to google INCEL, but any way…
Black Mrs K didn’t comment on any of this, but the fact that she’s relatively unknown and is not Idris Elba by default. “Good to highlight a new black actor” was the comment.
