Peaky Blinders Steven Knight shared what he hopes to do with the next James Bond film that he has been tapped to write.This Substack is reader-supported.
So we went from Connery-Bond driving cars at breakneck speed in death-defying chases to Craig-Bond hopping a ride on a fem-scooter behind a fashion black lady and looking like a total effeminate CUCK.
So, we know exactly where Velleneuve puts Bond on the masculinity scale: sucking soy while he surreptitiously tries to adjust the pink buttplug with rainbow painted fingernails.
This comment isn’t even clever. Watch the first ten minutes of Quantum of Solace and talk to me about fem scooters. What about the incredible parkour run in Casino Royal, or the stunt driving Craig did himself in No Time to Die? That you would zero in on a scooter scene is stupid. Daniel Craig did more than enough to prove himself as Bond. He trained for that role like no other actor before him. I might add that you, sir, seem to know a lot about butt plugs - pink or otherwise.
I don't care. I've created my own James Bond. His name is Killian Lord, and he's an epic fantasy version of Bond—with a blade instead of a Beretta. My novel "Assassin Royale" is already up for preorder you know where. Romantasy is poison. "Assassin Royale" is the cure.
What do I think? I think if I owned the property I would have Bond exist in The Cold War Mad Men era where 007 belongs, just as Sherlock Holmes is best when he is set in the Victorian/Edwardian era and Indiana Jones is best when he is set in the 1930s. Bond would be closer to Sean Connery's version. The gadgets would not be as remarkable but the cars would still be amazing. The audience would be able to see him actually driving his 1931 Bentley 4.5 Liter Blower or even the 1935 Bentley Mark IV featured in DR. NO - hell, even the 1923 Bentley 3 Liter which David Niven drove in CASINO ROYALE would be fine. Perhaps later the iconic Austin Martin DB5 would show up after being introduced to him by Major Boothroyd CODE NAME "Q." The villains would swing back and forth from either being The Soviet Union, SPECTRE, or Red China. Miss Moneypenny would not be an Executive Assistant, she would be a secretary. Bond would go back to drinking his vodka martinis, lighting up with his Ronson and chain smoking his custom Morlands, and patting the bottoms of Miss Moneypenny, Sylvia Trench, and every masseuse, waitress, cigarette girl, hat check girl, and chambermaid he sees. Although I would draw the line at him telling Quarrel to fetch his shoes and calling him "Boy," the Maurice Binder type credits would return and the audience would be privileged to see Commander Bond of the Royal Navy receive awards and decorations from Her Majesty, The Queen. Bizarre Henchmen, beautiful Femme Fatales, and elaborate headquarters looking like something designed by Ken Adams would be in every movie. Michael Giacchino would be in charge of the soundtrack and he would make each and every one a tribute to the genius of John Barry. Various actors would portray Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, and LBJ as well as Sir Anthony Eden, Harold MacMillan, and Sir Alec Douglas-Home and Felix Leiter would also be a continuing character along with Q, M, Moneypenny, and Bill Tanner. The movies would take place in a world which Ian Fleming would recognize.
I’m getting worried hearing them say Daniel Craig is the ultimate James Bond.
Craig ultimate?

NAH.

I saw Casino Royale, before I gave up on movies.
I was impressed with Craig's performance.
Obviously, I hit your no-no button and you feel you must stand up and "stand with" your hero at all costs. That's fine.
The rest of your nonsense is dismissed.
Go ahead and launch your last word barrage; I will no longer respond to you.
How about an original James Bond Movie that's not a remake of a classic Bond Movie?
That'd be great.

Shameless plug. If you can’t join in a polite conversation then perhaps it is best not to comment at all.
