So Danny Boyle has 'pulled out' (or been removed) from directing the new Bond film.

I did wonder whether it was a decent match when I first heard he was directing. His films are nearly always eclectic and quirky, whereas Bond is pretty rigid.

No honestly please do. It would be more appropriate here than usual

[Sly Boots]

I think MM should just keep it permanently in his sig to be honest

[Medicine Man]

I've devised another solution.

[Sly Boots]

Perfect

[Medicine Man]

I must admit it was hard giving up the old one.

I feel I may have lost my mystical edge along with it, but on the plus side I may have discovered my true final form.

GUYS TALK ABOUT MY JAMES BOND NEWS!!

I think the Bond franchise needs to be shaken up a bit; getting a bit tired of Craig and all the conventional tropes.

[Mantis]

Would you say it needs to be shaken, but not stirred?

[Maturin]

Yes, I think it needs a break for 4 or 5 years, like what happened after Die Another Day. (Jesus what a prize turd of a film)

Casino Royale felt so fresh and new afterwards.

I think the Bond franchise just needs to end.

I loved Casino Royale, I don't understand how they managed to lose everything that was good about that movie and make such a string of boring, overly serious sequels.

I did see a comment on a news site earlier along the lines of "Good news, Boyle is an SJW so taking away his chance to push his agenda on Bond is excellent".

[Maturin]

It's an interesting point regarding the female characters. Vesper was a really well written, complex character in CR - but since then they've reverted to them all being shallow Bond babes again. Pretty much.

[Sly Boots]

I haven't watched a Bond film since Casino Royale.

Last one I saw in the cinema was Die Another Day.
