I am so sorry for you. I used to be a Bond fan, but I saw the writing on the wall LOOOOONG time ago, with the Craig movies.

I don't think Craig himself did a bad job, but the movies he made screamed the team behind them was running out of steam. For starters, the fact it was all a *reboot* was a very bad sign, in that they intended to break with classic Bond.

So well, I have my old DVD collection of Bond movies. That is all the Bond I need.

(And I also have some spinoff videogames, yay)
