  • I blame Emmeline Pankhurst!

    Well, not really.

    “Allowing women to work” turned into “expecting women to work” and is now “two people’s wages are required to have a roof over your head”.

    House price and rent caps would be marvellous, but no government is brave enough to shatter the teetering mess of economics that is built on it all. It should never have got to this point, and nobody wants to stop it getting worse. We need to bring the cost of housing down. Build more. Prevent prices rising. Hard caps on rent for basic properties. If not enough basic properties exist in an area, mandate they must be built instead of luxury expensive properties. Bring back council houses.

    I do have a fondness for the Moore era.

    Growing up in the 80s, he was my generation’s Bond, and every bank holiday or Boxing Day movie was nearly always one of his.

    The zoom to the scarecrow in Live and Let Die scared the crap out of me as a kid though.

    Rewatching, they’re mostly objectively bad. I do have respect for him leaving the role, because being paired with women young enough to be his granddaughter was making him feel icky.

    I rewatched them all when Amazon added them a few years back.

    There are precious few good Bond films. A lot of them are quite generic, and the later Brosnan movies especially bad. The appearance of Madonna in anything is never a good sign.

    What’s most surprising is that there was nearly as big a gap between Spectre and No Time To Die as the entire Brosnan era.
