Sounds like you just lost another one!
Dominic Greene’s desperate outburst at the end of Quantum of Solace is as pathetic as it is misguided. Clinging to life and completely at Bond’s mercy, he’s in no position to provoke the man holding him over the edge. Taunting Bond with the suggestion that Camille was shot felt less… Read More →

Actually, I’m a spy.
Bond gets surprisingly blunt in You Only Live Twice when under interrogation by Helga Brandt he casually admits his occupation. And not some euphemism for government work or a less nefarious-sounding title, he just says straight up “spy,” in I think the only instance of him calling himself as such.… Read More →
