Covid-19 does sound like a terrorist cell out to get Bond.

Terrible article by a terrible person but it had a link to this great one so not all is lost.

That article makes me sad.  TMS doesn't even cover all the tests and one-day internationals any more, does it?  Cricket is dying a slow, agonising death in this country.

Never. Finished. The article.

Hadley Freeman is a huge TERF as well, for the record.

[Keith Houchen]

Fuck him and his sham “for the cameras” marriage

I know nothing of David Mitchell outside Peep Show but it doesn't matter because Roger Moore IS the best bond no matter what he fucking says.

Anybody excited for tomorrow?

[Keith Houchen]

I am. I love the Europa League.

Well, that aged badly didn't it.

So, what’s people’s thoughts? I know some reviews have said it felt too long, personally I felt the pacing was alright, but perhaps there was too much filler when there could have been a bit more focus on key series plot points. 
I’ve seen this mentioned and gave to agree that Daniel Craig’s performance may be the best ever performance of Bond.

I thought the ‘we have all the time if the world’ throughout was beautiful and I’ll admit I cried when the inevitable happened.

I wonder if there is going to be a reset now with Leiter, Blofeld and Bond all dying. 
 

What I really didn’t like was the apparent lack of accountability with M. I’d expect the others to be angry with him as a large part of Bond dying was his fault

I posted my thoughts in the general movie thread. I wasn’t a fan

I didn’t think it was an emotional send off. Literally the message was after everything the only thing that can kill bond is a load of missiles. The family for Bond was for me a stupid plot device. Remi Mallick bought nothing to the table. Ana de Armas was the best thing by a country mile. The 007 bait and switch was predictable and I didn’t think Nomi was a good 00 agent. Some nice call backs and jokes but the whole thing was just meh.
