Warp That Aesop / James Bond

• Dr. No: Nuclear weapons should never fall into the wrong hands.
• From Russia with Love: Beware of the odd assassination methods.
• Goldfinger: Gold is a man's kryptonite.
• Thunderball: Diving day is a very dangerous day.
• You Only Live Twice: Just because you're a versatile actor who can change his nationality at the drop of a hat doesn't mean you should attempt to look Asian.
• On Her Majesty's Secret Service: A bulletproof car is probably a better investment than poison darts and a talking watch.
• Diamonds Are Forever: Every man-- and actor-- has his price.
• Live and Let Die: Never trust a man with a half-painted face.
• The Man with the Golden Gun: Only Shakespearean actors can save a film from being complete dreck.
• The Spy Who Loved Me: You don't need lines to make a great impression.
• Moonraker: Just because you can capitalize on the popularity of a successful film doesn't mean that you should.
  • If a grandstanding billionaire promises to take mankind to space, be aware that there's probably a catch.
• For Your Eyes Only: Even an alcoholic, misogynist racist killer will not sleep with a little girl.
• Octopussy: This film is what Americans think are so great about the British, especially if they must have seen it...twice.
• A View to a Kill: Even Nazi Superbabies have little knowledge about marketing skills or saving money.
• The Living Daylights: "Cello" comes from the old Czechoslovakian word meaning "millstone".
• Licence to Kill: James Bond was never meant for children.
• GoldenEye: Being an evil genius, a billionaire or a tyrant is fine, but you will never be as sexy as Alec or Xenia.
• Tomorrow Never Dies: Rupert Murdoch makes a great villain.
• The World Is Not Enough: One bad performance can bring down the integrity and popularity of an entire film.
• Die Another Day: Whitewashing will never be popular with the fans.
• Casino Royale (2006): Poker is the difference between life and death.
• Quantum of Solace: A widespread Writer's Strike is probably not the best time for the lead actor to share a story writing credit.
• Skyfall: Even counterproductive stereotypes cannot get in the way of great storytelling and acting.
  • Qualifying exams exist for a reason. If someone fails all of them, but you pull rank and have them reinstated anyway, don't then place your life in their hands. They're probably going to fail again.
• Spectre: It's perfectly logical that a Prettyboy with a scar on his face machinated a decade worth of your misery.
• No Time to Die: Turns out that accomplishing something that everyone else has failed to do up until this point is as simple as having an Evil Plan with no specifically defined end goal.
  • Don't go home and be a family man: it will get you killed.
