    It's a miracle Bond doesn't have a limp and an eyepatch.
    Imagine a Bond movie series reboot, only based on the books and with perfect attention to detail, like the way The Godfather series matches the book, in the correct time period. After watching The Americans and Perry Mason, I'm completely convinced that this man is the actor to pull it off. Keri could play Viv in "The Spy Who Loved Me".
