On Her Majesty's Secret Service: James Bond 007 | Ian Fleming

Little Free Library find last night while walking Penny the dog. I already have copies of all but the tagged and might re-home two because I have those same editions even. But I couldn‘t resist grabbing them all. 😆

Bookwomble Nice find 😊 4mo

LeahBergen Cool! 4mo

Ruthiella @Bookwomble I know, right? 😃 4mo

Ruthiella @LeahBergen I love the cheesy covers! 4mo

Bookwomble I've collected the Pan editions where I can. I was surprised at the graphic violence in Casino Royale given its age. I haven't finished the series, yet, but I was impressed that Daniel Craig's interpretation seems to be the closest to Fleming's original. 4mo

dabbe Great haul! 🤩 4mo

Ruthiella @Bookwomble I‘ve not seen any of the newer films but I do remember the torture scene from Casino Royale, pretty brutal. 😱 4mo

Ruthiella @dabbe I got pretty lucky. 😃 4mo

AnnCrystal 📚👏🏼🥳👍🏼💝. 4mo

Ruthiella @AnnCrystal 🙏🙏🙏 4mo

Ruthiella @CarolynM They are pretty cool! 😅 4mo

James Bond: No deals, Mr. Bond | John Gardner

Is it just me, or is anyone else distressed at the news that Amazon is taking creative control of the James Bond movie series? Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson, who have guided the series, will be kept as "consultants" but the real power is Amazon's. The idea of Jeff Bezos and Amazon picking the next actor to play Bond turns my stomach. I don't care if he's black or white, male or female, but he/she should definitely be British!!

RamsFan1963 UGH!! There is an article online about the Amazon take over of James Bond, and they're talking about Amazon's plans to expand the JB "universe" to be similar to the MCU and Star Wars franchise. That has watered down and mediocre movies written all over it!! 10mo

dabbe Bezos is trying to own the world. 😱 10mo

TheBookgeekFrau Just another reason to loathe Amazon 10mo

RamsFan1963 @Susanita Its Inconceivable!! 🤣🤣🤣 IYKYK 10mo

julesG You forgot Lazenby, who's Australian; and Brosnan is Irish. BUT I totally agree. 10mo

RamsFan1963 @julesG I guess what I should have said was please don't have him played an American actor. I personally want Henry Cavill, but I know the chances of that happening are almost Zero 10mo

DogMomIrene @RamsFan1963 I have mixed feelings about Disney owning Star Wars. That‘s a fandom I was invested in as a kid. MCU and 007 I watch on the side. Disney watering down SW = 1000% I started watching the baby Yoda series and I noped out. But Rogue One may be my favorite SW movie ever. And I don‘t think Lucas would have ever gotten around to telling that story. I do wonder if there‘s another Rogue One quality production in Disney🤷🏻‍♀️ 10mo

lauraisntwilder @DogMomIrene Have you watched the Andor series on Disney+? 10mo

lauraisntwilder There was a rumor, years ago, about Idris Elba as Bond. I wish that had happened. Amz taking over just means I'll never see it. 10mo

Kristin_Reads Oh no. 10mo

AnishaInkspill I thought they now owned MGM? If they do maybe it's first of the many 10mo

RamsFan1963 @AnishaInkspill Yes Amazon does own MGM, and MGM has distribution rights to the James Bond series, but now Amazon is about to control how the movies are made, not just as a studio distributing the film. I'm sure the next Bond won't have an evil, bald, billionaire, trying to take over the world as its antagonist. That would be a little too on the nose. It will be evil Union organizers trying to destroy capitalism. 10mo

DogMomIrene @lauraisntwilder I haven‘t, but I‘m over here all 🤔🤓🤩 I actually forgot about it, probably because there is so much SW noise on Disney+. I‘m guessing you mentioned it because it‘s a good one. If it is, I‘ll add it to my Disney+ list for the next time I rotate into that subscription, which is great. I usually like to have 4-6 programs or movies that I know I want to see before I switch subscriptions🙌🏼 10mo

lauraisntwilder @DogMomIrene I think you'd probably like it. My husband loved Rogue One and thought Andor was great. I enjoyed it, too, but it's definitely on the darker/sadder end of the SW spectrum. It's about Cassian Andor from Rogue One (set beforehand, obviously). 10mo

DogMomIrene @lauraisntwilder Ohh thank you! That actually sounds right up my alley👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 10mo

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: James Bond 007 | Ian Fleming

so-so

David Tennant is my favorite Doctor & one of my favorite actors, so I jumped at the chance to listen to him narrate. And who doesn't love James Bond?

Me. I don't love James Bond. Not as books - I enjoy the films as much as the next person. The books are dated & problematic in places, but that's understandable. IMO, the action scenes translate so much better to film, even with such a great narrator.

Casino Royale | Ian Fleming

#tlt 10/100 for this one. Though there are some I'm not quite sure if I should have added as the title of a book and a movie don't always match

The story felt a little bit scattered to me, it had quite a few time jumps in there that didn't have a smooth flow. But, overall, the story was really cute. I look forward to the rest of the series.
