All the Home Alones and all the James Bonds are exactly the same film and no one is convincing me otherwise.
Have I watched any of them? No, I don’t need to. I just know in my heart that the above statement is true.

Love Bond. Think the real joy of it for me is that it’s competency porn. As a person who is constantly low level stressed about daily activities - booking appointments, paperwork, navigating a route, making a flight on time - there’s something amazing watching a man move through life so confidently. He never gets in a new car and spends ages working out how to get the high beams on. It’s magical.

I get what ttf says about the rainy Sunday afternoon aspect of it, but I remember being hooked as a kid with Roger Moore in a sharp suit beating up some suckers. Stunning locations, cool cars, gadgets, violence, puns, babes… what’s not to love.

Bond would be far more convincing as a spy shagger if he was bisexual

Also: multilingual, not giving away his name all the time, any kind of subterfuge.

Bond is just a poor man’s Jason Bourne/Ethan Hunt who likes Top Gear, colonialism and keeping those pesky foreigners and women in their place. Probably great mates with the Tory top brass

Mark Carney looks like he could play James Bond, then there would be a scene where the love interest is flirting with him and he quips “well my interest rate is rising” and everyone in the cinema proceeds to lose their shit, whooping and hollering at the joke

Seriously though, spying can’t possibly be so heteronormative

“No Time To Die” is the archetypal title for a Bond film, can’t believe it’s real though or not been used before
