Good one 🤣

Love that EON takes the Bond Community seriously and reached out to you and gave you as much if not even more access than traditional media. Great work David. What a ride you’ve been on and shared with all of us who just love our agent 007! Cheers!

[@matthewhorton2835]

When casino royale came out, I was a senior in high school about to graduate, and I was totally immacsculated when my girlfriend broke up with me. Watching Royale, watching him be burned by a woman he devotedly loved and watching him break through it, I would actually say helped spark back my masculinity and independence to move on. So, yes, these movies can change people...I was so so thankful to thank movie for a long long time.

Legend of the Bond Community: Status Achieved

[@satomisakubeya7594]

David, I am from Tokyo Japan and have been a Bond fan for about 5 decades thanks to the great influence from my parents. Thank you for giving us the privilege to hear the real voice of legendary Barbara and Michael G., listening and talking to the true Bond fan. Appreciated. By the way, in Japan NTTD has been a huge success in Box Office and has been dominating number one spot since the opening.

You should ask them to release an extended cut of No time to die.....that would be a gift

[@ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛΧΑΤΖΗΔΑΚΗΣ-ρ5σ]

In a BBC interview to Mark Cousins ("scene by scene") Sean Connery said about the Bond franchise: “If there is a criticism about where its gone, or come, is to: too politically correct, a little too not quite dirty enough... That’s what’s kind of missing because it gives a little bit of spice at no cost and the other thing, it started to drift towards antiseptic assence”! God, how right he was!!!

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Time moves on, hence why Bond has lasted for so long rather than being a dinosaur franchise which died out like many have in the past.

[@utamaprastha4621]

David, you should act as a Bond creative consultant on the next 007's production. And since you're also in the advertising business, guide them to build more prominent, relevant, and relatable promos for the next Bond. Help 007 to regain his Mojo back!

[@davidrixson3171]

[@JB-1138]

New to the channel. Lifelong Fan of 007. Just wanted to say this is a cool channel. I really respect what you're doing. Kind of gave me a new perspective on the films and Bond's wardrobe. Much respect after seeing you interview Daniel Craig recently. Keep up the good work.

[@joanne26]

Hello from England Great interview with Michael and Barbara. Bond fans across the world will have so much MORE to look forward to. A new actor, and what will he bring to the character of JAMES BOND. More films hopefully with less of a time gap. AMAZON and their input which is only A GOOD THING. So hold on tight for a GREAT NEW JOURNEY.

Wow. Congratulations to you David. These interviews, and your deep, emotive questions deserve a lot of recognition. Can’t imagine how this has all made you feel, the sense of accomplishment, over the last couple weeks…great work!

[@RolandHulme]

Oh, my goodness, this was WONDERFUL David. I loved it - they were chatting to you like an old friend. You have this wonderful perspective of fandom that honors and shows reverence to everything they've accomplished and just like with all these interviews, you've clearly approached them with questions that invigorated them and made these 15 minutes so much different to the cookie-cutter interviews they're probably used to.

[@Mike-wf1nm]

Outstanding job! You seemed to have a great rapport with them, and they seemed genuinely engaged and impressed with your questions.

[@bobbyharrop8817]

Incredible work again David. I'm really enjoying watching these interviews

[@brenoramosmosso]

They just need a trilogy. And a fourth film if it works out. There are stories and unexplored places by Ian Fleming. They would make a good script: 1.The Man With The Golden Gun+ The Only Live Twice+Mooraker; 2.The Hildebrand Rarity+The Spy Who Loved; 3.Risico+Casino Royale; 4.The Property Of Lady+Octopussy+Diamonds Are Forever.

[@johnaguiar7679]

[@lowellmayfield5736]

I would've guessed Barbara Broccoli was a Brit! I guess it makes up for the shock I got when I realized for the first time that Damian Lewis is very British. Up until about a year ago he was my favorite American actor. Imagine my surprise when I heard him speak! LOL

[@dawsynasay4841]

Ironically, the Bond films were all produced by Americans

The way you began the video, David, I thought you were going to stumble or make some sort of a mistake. But this was as perfect as the previous two, awesome work!

[@efrainvelazquez4]

From making quick edit home videos to talking casually to the Creators of the Bond movies. David you’re a legend, Barbara was eyeing you I think for the next Bond 26 candidate.

Exactly. We the fans are the reason why Bond has been around for almost 60 years. You'd think they'd pay more respect to the fanbase by NOT doing what they did.

[@kierankelleher007]

Brilliant interview David. Really good questions. Barbara obviously struggling with her voice but loved her push for ambition a la Spy Who Loved Me and Michael was really eloquent in how they decide stuff - he comes across as a really smart guy. Terrific job yourself man - the enthusiasm is infectious. Well done.

[@JeremyHartson2000]

Great questions. Well done. Particularly when Michael discusses Casino Royal’s significance in shaping Bond’s character through Flemming’s writing as a hard-edged yet flawed and finite man. Bravo.

[@ryiin]

Absolutely fantastic interview Commander David.

[@bond-suits]

Congratulations! What a brilliant interview! We don't get to hear from these two enough, particularly not Michael. He's always taken a back seat to the Broccoli family publicly, and I think that's a shame. What a mind they both have!

[@meganhartmann180]

Yes, it was interesting to hear both Michael and Barbara talk about the strategy and calculated risk-taking that goes into planning the franchise. Definitely a lot of pressure and responsibility on their shoulders.

Nice interview but the one question I want answered which probably won’t come any time soon: Why the ending? After 60 years of a working formula. What was a 9/10 movie dropped to 6/10 for me. A shame.

[@ronpruitt3832]

I absolutely loved this movie until the end. At that point I said they have screwed this franchise forever. Actually I used a different word than screwed, but you get the point.

[@TheGamerThing]

@@ronpruitt3832 Craigs bond always existed in its own vacuum. I cant see any harm to the franchise as a whole but ending it that way.

Don't like my bond dead either, but that's hollywood, snuffing out another celebrated protagonist. That's the trend. Sure they'll bring him back, but people don't forget

[@stocksrnuts6439]

I think Daniel’s movies are their own canon in a way, a story of a characters journey from the beginning til the end. I would be happy with a return to old formula however.

[@mrsmirnoff8715]

I haven't watch it all just yet (I'm at the 5 minute mark) but two things have jumped out at me. One, Michael saying the supposed betrayal. I'm so glad he said that as Vesper gave her life to save Bond and two, David's questions must be a breath of fresh air to everyone as I've heard him ask a single question that a career journalist would in all of these interviews I've watched. Loving your work, David!

[@garethsmith6611]

This is so cool david and happy that your getting this recognition. Your great, I just didnt like NTTD and would love to know why it was a mess of a film.

[@faisalahmed1982]

It is because the 1969 Movie On Her Majesties Secret Service wasn't a Box office Hit and Daniel Craig had to do the job like he did in Casino Royale ! And It is the brutal truth 😏

[@888bangthory]

I don’t think it’s a mess of a film at all, adore it soo much to the point I feel giddy with excitement at the prospect of seeing it again today for the fifth time , the emotional beats with the zimmer score move me every time, the tonal shifts from the gritty, profound or whimsical never felt disjointed to me as Craig is so believable in every scene , some of the editing should have been better, the Norway chase went from being intense to sudden hiding in the woods

[@diogocatalano9557]

Craig is a mess as Bond.

[@stephenshaw3848]

Another great interview David! Well done. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Wilson back in 2008/09 at the National Media Museum in Bradford, UK at a special screening of "From Russia With Love" that he was introducing.

[@gertscomplex7568]

Despite the absence of some more critical, yet at the same time highly respectfully put, questions, I have said for quite some time that this is exactly wat EON Productions needs to do more often. Appealing more directly to fans with vlogs like yours David. Not just during crowded release dates of a new Bond-film, but even before and afterwards. And I sincerely hope EON is going to do this more often; appealing to the other torch bearers and stewards: the fans. I really liked the question about how much risks the producers are willing to take........before it really becomes a negative. It's daring, and we fans, and journalists alike, should not be afraid of, friendly, asking such questions. Thank you David.

Fantastic interview, many thanks. As a hardcore 3D fan, it was great to hear Michael talk enthusiastically about the film's 3D post-conversion. Sadly, it didn't get released in the UK, but I've heard a lot of positives about it. Maybe Michael will even put in a word to get it released on Blu-ray, something that most 3D fans (there are lots of us out there still!) expect is unlikely. Thanks again, keep up the great work.

[@1980venom]

I loved and still love Casino Royale, but No Time To Die has surpassed Casino Royale on all levels. Storywise, characters, the OST from Zimmer, the camera work, it's the ultimate Bond film. It started with a banger and ended with an even bigger "banger". I can't get the movie out of my head, the movie hit me so hard that I'm left emotionally wrecked. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. For those who haven't seen the new Bond yet, go for it but remember it will break you. My favorite Bond was Sean Connery, but Daniel is up there or maybe he is my all time favorite J.B. From best to worse ----> 1. No Time To Die, 2. Casino Royale, 3. Skyfall, 4. Spectre, 5. Quantum of Solace
