    WTF?

    That's it, I'm hiring Doubler as a consultant on my script.

      But you'll pay me the salary of JJ Abrams, yes?

        And Q stands for queer and M has sold out the British government to support a gambling addiction. In the end James decides to let the bad guy nuke the suburbs and start all over again ...

          I know you meant QoS but piece of sh1t is right. Quite synonymous.

            Mendes directing Bond wouldn't be a bad thing. Alan Ball writing a Bond screenplay is what would beg a laugh. Don't get me wrong. Ball's a superb writer as many of us know.

            But I'd hate to see 007 going through mid life crisis trying to romance a Bond no more than sixteen.

              New 007 film(s)...

              I'm not really sure if Mendes is the best choice for a Bond film but I would hope the next film will go in a clearer more action based format. The main bad guy in QoS was a wimp! He seemed more like a rich nerd than a real threat to Bond. The entire film seemed low key and off base. Die Another Day(2002) went over the limit and was more of a comic book or cartoon IMO but the Bond series should move back to the action based format with high stakes. Films like Moonraker or Octo*****. The 007 novels had some decent plots and evil bad guys. The prodco or studio should look at those storylines.
