My favorite James Bond is Nightfire.

I like Moonraker because it’s such a freaking live-action cartoon.
It came out during the post-Star Wars sci-fi boom, and it fits perfectly into that era (as does Roger Moore).
Drax is a satisfying villain, and I thought it was sweet when Jaws got a girlfriend and finally spoke (and his soft voice wasn’t like what you’d expect).
Sure, all of this is what purists hate, but I really don’t care. Roger Moore was the James Bond of my youth, and he is the only Bond actor who could have filmed the ludicrous Moonraker and make it work.
(I will say that the laser blasters and Space Force were a bit too much. The space shuttle was believable technology (as was the space station), but the battle in space was beyond unreal.)

There’s aspects of that film I like, but Moore is just awful. The first encounter with Lois Chiles when he’s looking for Dr Goodhead, realises it’s her and intones ‘a woman?’ with a raised eyebrow is so cringeworthy. My wife likes to imitate that any time a female doctor (and indeed The Doctor) appears on the news or whatever we are watching.

Moore still has a good scene in it, when he's released from the centrifuge. You see that he's close to collapsing, but he insists on getting out of the module alone, to keep some dignity. There's some subtle acting from him at this point.
Then, no amount of acting could make the pigeon who does a double take in Venice work.

re: black woke bond debacle
This is a bit long, but the first 10 minutes or so focuses on the reaction of irate incel chuds to the black female 007.
'Furious loser dorks' could also describe at least 3/4 of SHites.

Kurt Cobain’s liner notes on Incesticide (why were they removed?)Place your bets that Courtney was behind it. Pretty soon she's going to remove Dave and Krist from the recordings.

Yeah, Krist is bigging up Trump’s passion in his speeches 🙄
