And another Brosnan-era death, with the passing of Lee Tamahori, who directed Die Another Day. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/...rMheNqn2c1DHB2KpY0_aem_8MaHSylBCCvRKMFA7WMw9Q

Tamahori directed by most favorite Bond prologue. And was no slouch in the remainder.

The prologue was excellent. A shane the script for the rest of the film was trash.

Everything went downhill once the invisible car was introduced. It became another movie entirely. Almost like it was studio mandated

Exec-It’s too boring. What if the car turned invisible and the villains lair was made of ice. The villain also wears a body armor that shoots force lightning. Bond cgi surfs on a ice roadsters door

I remember people complaining about Bond escaping in the ice roadsters and then having to go back into the ice castle. That’s movie cliche 101

I always saw the first hour in Cuba, Hong Kong and North Korea as the Connery homage, then London, Iceland and the DMZ as the Moore homage

I demand multiple Barry Nelson homages now now, with no cute allusions to AIRPORT or THE SHINING.
