Although I'm hardly the biggest fan of Daniel Craig's 007 (when I don't feel deprived by not having seen QoS, you can believe that), rumors that if Bond 23 doesn't start production soon it'll mean the end of the franchise disturb me.
PNQ1: What do you think should happen to the James Bond franchise? PNQ2: If the studio is in such dire straits, isn't it a good idea to put out a James Bond movie AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, even if they have to borrow more money? After all... PNQ3: Isn't a James Bond movie a guaranteed source of money?

I can't conceive of the Bond franchise ever actually ending. It might get set aside for an unusually long time, but end? I don't see how. As you say, it's a popular franchise.

Oh, well. Maybe if there's a huge gap and they have to recast again; they'll realize that James Bond and Jason Bourne are NOT the same kind of character or movie franchise. James Bond is supposed to be about humor and the gadgets as much as action and sexy women. And did James Blonde ever feature that much in the way of either humor OR gadgets?

It does occur to me that it's probably getting harder to come up with new Bond gadgets that are impressive and useful without being too powerful or anything.

I wouldn't mind gadget recycling. In fact if he had a set artillery that was standard from movie to movie, it would only make things more consistent.

PNQ: Can anyone recommend a good harem anime for me?
Preferably a relatively obscure one. The only mainstream one I haven't really seen is Negima, but for some reason I can't get into that show. Or should I give it another chance?

The only one I've ever seen is Clannad, though considering that I've actually seen it, it probably is more mainstream than it is obscure. I really liked it.
