Movies: next James Bond will be (SHOCKING NEWS...Broccoli family give up control of the ENTIRE BOND franchise)

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Amazon Prime had a 24/7 Bond channel going for a while and it was great but it suddenly disappeared without warning a few weeks ago. Would like to see that return now that the Broccoli/Bezos conflict appears to have subsided for now. I want to be optimistic here, but the chances of total Bond Enshittification under Amazon are very high.

As someone whose first exposure to the old Bond movies was on TBS' annual holiday marathon weekends that was a major nostalgia hit for me. Sure, I own them all on DVD or blu ray and could put them in at any time but it just hits different when I can turn on the TV and it's in the middle of The Spy Who Loved Me just decide to let it roll. (Also, they stretch them out to like 3 hours with commercials which also brings back memories). I don't need it to always exist, but if they want to pop it back up on holiday weeks/weekends I'm probably going to throw it on.

15 Days of 007 on TBS was a great time.

Can’t wait for the R rated streaming series with graphic sex scenes and violence.

I’m only being half sarcastic.

Brocolli and EON both fought hard to keep it a PG rating as per Ian Fleming verbal agreement to keep it that way

They haven't been PG since 1987. Licence to Kill was PG-13 (I remember a little bit of controversy over that at the time) and every iteration since has been the same. I don't see that changing. They're not going to go R and risk losing out on a lot of box office revenue.

I meant the streaming series that’s sure to be coming.
