which movie had Craig putting on makeup...?

If anything, Bond girls have been more meaningless in Craig films than ever before, not counting Vesper. He barely gives a shit about any of them.

Speaking of Bond trailers, I recently came across with this trailer and lol'd hard. Just look at all that fucking madness in it! Unbelievable. They really don't make these like they used to.

Best title for a Bond flick, or best title for a Bond flick?

And man, my memory of Bond flicks is spotty af, or else I would've recalled the softcore porn catfight brawl.

Like, what is all this bitching about who is 007? 007 is a title. James Bond is the main character. Just because he's not currently employed by MI6 doesn't suddenly make him a nobody.

"007" is a social construct.

"As James Bond 007" in literally every movie going back to the '60s. Not "As James Bond, and this chick over here as 007." Rushy!

Stallone's was better.

Why does nobody mention that it takes place a century from now but everyone's driving 2000-era vans, sporting modern clothes, and using modern cellphones?

Lena Headey is a terrible actress.

Product placement.

Or you know how these movies set in the not-too-distant future like I, Robot always have this weird grumpy incel protagonist who despises everything invented between Current Year and when the movie is set (which probably also includes stuff invented before be was born)? Dredd is set in the new age retro hipster part of town.

Did you just sleep through all the films where he went renegade and wasn't 007?

Ok. This is funny.

Someone should do a background check on the stuntmen, especially the ones whose characters got killed

Being temporarily suspended isn't the same as having his number given to another person. Ian Fleming created him as Agent 007. His number is part of his identity.
