For Bond 23 And Beyond
1)ABSOLUTELY NO Bourne aping/pandering or crew namedrops
2)Traditional Gunbarrel opening the movie(Today's version of Maurice Binder's creation that works, and he would be happy to see if he was still alive)
3)The name's Bond.. James Bond(When he needs to introduce himself to someone in the story, not like in Quantum where he never did that or made to look like he never had the time to do that)
4)Q NOT Major Boothroyd(The way Q should be like, with these kind of thinking and views to how he do things, "I Never Joke About My Work", "If It Had Not Been For Q Branch You Would Have Been Dead long ago", "Grow Up Double O Seven", and "I Always Try To Teach You Two Things, First Never Let Them See You Bleed And Second Always Have An Escape Plan")
5)Miss Moneypenny(A cross between Lois Maxweell and Samantha Bond's)
6)Calling him Commander(never leave that out, but only use when needed. Never make it, that Craig as James Bond never held that rank, and was never in the Royal Navy)
7)The return of the gadgets, with stuff like a superspy car, a cell phone that is not just a cell phone, and what ever the film makers can come up with that is only alittle bit of a eyeball-roller.
8)Shaken, Not Stirred
9)Bond being briefed in M's office if possible
10)A Felix Leiter that is today's version, that looks like Sinatra with a little Texas in him. A little more time on screen like in Thunderball.
11)If David Arnold is unable to do a future movie's score, then they should call in Eric Serra to do it again. Or try John Williams, David Newman, Harry Gregson-Williams and Howard Shore to name some.
12)Give these singers a try for future Bond movie title songs, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins and maybe The Who
13)Bond girls that are 33% Bond's equal(like Wai Lin and Natalya Simonova), and 67% not Bond's equal(like Kara Milovy), where the vulnerable part could still come in.
14)Dry British humour
15)Moments where Bond needs to keep drinkig with a shot glass, because something bothering him or on his mine like in TND. But only when it is needed for that storyline. Also back to drinking the high class type wines Bond is known for. None of those drinks young people like to drink in hip club/bar. If they are starting to do that.
16)The James Bond hair cut(If he did have the hair cut in Quantum, I could not tell. But if he didn't then he needs to do that. From Connery to Brosnan you could easyly tell they got the James Bond hair cut when playing the role).
