2025/02/25

After being diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson's disease back in 2016, Reggie has been experiencing some health issues which had been stabilised for a long time. However, last week he collapsed and was hospitalised. It is said that he is 'cognitive, but his body is failing'. This really struck a chord with me as I am a huge admirer of him, and his work, and it is my hope that anyone else who is will be aware of his condition. You can send him a letter of appreciation through his address, which is

How Tomorrow Never Dies tried to warn you

Pennymeme"s Happy Hour ·

2025/02/25

Tomorrow Never Dies is the 18th entry into the eternally iconic James Bond franchise. The film is centred around the corrupt media mogul, Elliot Carver, and his plot to create tragic news in order to be the first to report on it. The film was released in 1997, and met a very lukewarm reception from critics. It seemed that, at the time, general audiences believed the idea of someone being able to change the world through media influence was "ridiculous", or "outlandish". However, looking back at this

Pennymeme"s Happy Hour ·

Everyone loves to debate over the next Bond actor... but very rarely do I see people consider what the title of the next film would be. Today, I go over some popular suggestions, as well as some of my own ones, and determine which would be the best for the next movie (if it ever bloody comes out in the first place)

My plans for a new short story

Pennymeme"s Happy Hour ·

2025/02/13

After writing a novel and a short story prequel, I thought I was done with the character of George Buckley. However, I came up with some ideas recently which gave me the incentive to write (probably) the final narrative in this "universe". So, here are my ideas for it, criticisms or opinions will be welcome through my email.alexpennington097@gmail.com

All GoldenEye N64 levels ranked

Pennymeme"s Happy Hour ·

2025/02/11

My criteria for this ranking is quite unique, as I approach this as a pure Bond fan, less-so as a gamer, or even an N64 player. Incidentally, I've a feeling some of my placements will be controversial, but what do you think?

Today, I analyse the Henry Cavill audition for Casino Royale back in 2005. I am one of those people who think he would have been a great James Bond today, but how did he do twenty years ago?

My short story - reading & analysis

Pennymeme"s Happy Hour ·

2025/02/06

If you thought hearing my voice was bad enough, now you've got to listen to my writing. After finishing my novel, I hastily jotted down a 7,000 word short story which is essentially a huge flashback set three years earlier. I thought it would be nice to read it and briefly analyse it afterwards to explain why I wrote it. I hope you like it!

2025/01/19

Everyone loves to criticise all the doctors... so how about we talk about one thing that they did particularly better than every other version, instead of having to rank them?
