Why do they keep trying to retcon the Bond series so that it's always taking place in modern times? A big part of why James Bond is interesting as a spy are the limitations of the technology of his time.

Wouldn't you rather see the next series of Bond movies set as a period piece during the cold war with cold war era technology?

Man from uncle basically did that and it was a great Bond movie

Yeah, you keep telling them how to make billion dollar movies

No I would not. Go watch that Man from UNCLE pos.

uncle was boring as shit

Kill yourself 90's born faggot

Fleming wrote Bond as taking place in his own time. It's a middle-age guy power fantasy for contemporary middle-age guys.

Also, they couldn't sell watches, suits, phones and cars as well if it was set in the 50's.

Enjoyed that movie.

Sony wouldn't be able to do product placement then

This you'd have to be literally braindead to enjoy that tripe

>Wouldn't you rather see the next series of Bond movies set as a period piece during the cold war with cold war era technology?
Yes only because I think current technology is going to look really shitty a few years from now

>as a spy are the limitations of the technology of his time.

james bond is literally all about his hi-tech gadgets. its a key ingredient in all the films.
wtf are you on m8?

Turd literally made me cringe

this

like half the films are him using advanced tech from q

>Also, they couldn't sell watches, suits, phones and cars as well if it was set in the 50's.

Absolutely this.

The only reason the series will never be good again is the fact that they want that ad money.

That's why we'll never have a proper Flemming based, Broccoli directed Bond again.

Broccoli never directed, he produced. And he's kept from work by having been dead for twenty-five years.

The insecure brand-name faggot angle which has always been a big part of Bond would be impeded if it were all vintage stuff. But people have already said this.

I'd love to see it done in the 50's era, all practical. But not Man from UNCLE style.
More stylized retro futuristic.

WAS IT FUCK, it was awful.

but it's not set in the future

what

No. That's what Bond is, he's a modern spy. If you don't want a modern spy, don't watch Bond.

I meant a film in the spirit of what he would have produced.

Not really sure of what are you talking about. Cannot think of a "Broccoli standard" production. I mean, it was the same guy who produced Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, From Russia With Love or A View To A Kill.

If anything Spectre seemed more "classic Bond", than Casino Royale, and we all know how it turned out.

>him using advanced tech from q
Yeah, like Skyfall where q gave him a gun and joked that gadgets are stupid.

I don't care if it's in 60s or 2010s, I just want to know HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY CHANGE FACE AND HE IS LIKE 40 IN 1963 AND 20 IN 2006

Ah, cool.

Don't butt in, and don't talk shite - you know what he means.

Unfunny Reddit trash

James Bond is a codename. The original Sean Connery one is probably retired in universe.

He's like a god damned rapper at this point with all the aka's

>They call me Lil Bond
>aka Da Blow Seven
>aka Dat nigga wit da sony Erickson

don't make me link that calvin dyson video

>A big part of why James Bond is interesting as a spy are the limitations of the technology of his time.

That's the dumbest and most completely wrong thing anyone has ever typed on this board. Every single James Bond movie has featured technology that was AHEAD of the current time in which the movie was made. OP, you are an mentally deficient idiot-child of the highest calibre.
