Spectre

It seems uninterestingly trite, but I'll watch it on DVD.

Having watched all the rest.

Get Smart (2008) is the ultimate Bond send-up. Lots of cites of Bond. Also Agent Cody Banks (not ACB II!) is another nice sendup of Bond films.

The Bond genre itself has gone to hell with its turning into psychodrama instead of amusement.

Like Sandra Bullock for some reason put out a whole movie about having trouble breathing. (Gravity) made worse by remembering that her daughter died long ago.

A strange descent from Two Weeks Notice and The Proposal.

All acting and no insight.

Why is there no demand for a black Sherlock Holmes or a black Charlie Chan?......Some of the Bond movies are a little better or a little worse, but you generally get your money's worth......Just once I'd like to see him go to the casino and drop a bundle to the evil bastard that he's betting against.....Daniel Craig is pretty cool. Not Connery, but the best since Connery. Not everyone can adjust their cuff links after a near death experience and not look a tad too concerned about their personal appearance.

I watched a little of Sharknado 3 tonight. Had to cut off watching the depressing RedSox. I'm glad I did.

Another problem with Bond psychodrama films is that you have to look up the plot to see what happened after watching it.

I just watch movies I think are fun. I really don't give two shits about plots. Those are secondary to me. Movies are supposed to be escapist.
