Kelvin Timeline Kirk, however, plays right into that stereotype and establishes that the more juvenile delinquent Jim Kirk of the alternate history is, in fact, a horndog.
Yep. Being the leading man of a 1960s show, of course Kirk was going to score plenty of tail. Just the way things were back then.
A weakness of the Kelvin movies is that they depicted caricatures of the TOS characters based on the pop culture viewpoint of them that's developed over the decades.
The trailer for the Bond-inspired reality show is here
Released 40 Years Ago Today (October 7, 1983).
Through the muzzle…a history of Bond.

Who's agent 700?
That looks better than I was expecting, though my expectations were pretty low...
It's been so long since I've seen Never Say Never Again. I always remember really enjoying that pre-title sequence* (or I suppose title sequence actually) but not much else sticks in my mind, though given how much I adored Basinger in the 80s/90s I must have liked her in it.

Work on the new film hasn't even begun yet according to Barbara Broccoli.
They've clearly lost any enthusiasm for the franchise yet refuse to relinquish control to anyone else so we're kinda stuck in limbo until they can be arsed to make another film or sell up.

As I was reading that article, I was seeing a “Jason Bourne”-like formula to the reinvention/reinvigoration she was talking about. Or maybe I was seeing it because of similarities, the other way around?
I did agree with the notion that a lot has changed since Craig “…hung up his Omega…”, but it’s funny - not much has changed other than the players and the geography, has it?…
Depends. If you go by the definition of that article, that Craig "hung up his Omega" two years ago when No Time to Die was released, then maybe it is just "players and geography" as you say. But if you were to look at it in terms of NTTD likely finished filming sometime in 2019 and was obviously written at some point prior to that, then, yeah, there have been some notable changes in the world in the interim.
And not just in the real world, the cinema landscape itself is in the process of changing. Superhero movies which have ruled the roost for the past decade are beginning to decline and no one's really sure what the next Big Thing for movies is going to be. Though it should be noted, superhero movies aren't completely dead yet, despite what haters want you to think. And with their popularity combined with the continued success of the Fast and the Furious franchise, it's clear there's a market for fantastical type adventure movies where realism is more an afterthought. I suspect the next Bond iteration could be a return to supervillains threatening the world with doomsday weapons.
*sigh*
50 years ago this coming week, a former Blofeld's signature role went to series.

This thing's really grown on me since I added it to my holiday season shuffle. It just automatically earworms as soon as I start seeing the subject matter.
