I stream TDS and TNS the morning after. Wilmore's doing fine. They chose well; he's "not Colbert" in the BEST way- he's his own man.

I should have suspected something was wrong when I went to see WOLF OF WALL STREET, and I heard this familiar voice in the row behind me going "oh, the so many inaccuracies, it's like these kids today don't know zippity-zoop about the 'ludezin' and the poppin' and the cocaine up yer pooper."
That actor who played his son-in-law on THE COSBY SHOW has said that Cosby got away with it because everyone sort of knew he was cheating on his wife, so they all went out of their way to NOT look too closely; the attitude was, "well, this is something between Bill and his wife". There was a cone of silence about the…
He might be doing the U.N.C.L.E. sequel.
Or the SHERLOCK HOLMES threequel.
Heck, Roger Moore's Bond may even be the guy that kills off Blofeld (in the precredit sequence of FOR YOUR EYES ONLY). Although his lawyers have denied it!
The in-continuity explanation : Bond was in disguise in YOLT (remember Connery being made up in his TERRIBLY CONVINCING JAPANESE MAKE-UP?), and Blofeld had plastic surgery between films (mentioned to in OHMSS- admittedly they only SPECIFICALLY refer to his earlobes, but it's easy to accept he had more work done, what…
What are you, a Cajun chef?
FUN FACT: that's kind of what FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN actually WAS; most of the film was the two of them wandering around Germany together looking for Dr. Frankenstein's secret laboratory, and then they have a little fight at the end.
Truth in advertising!
I'd also note that the continuity of the Craig films is a bit weird on it's own, with Bond getting his first mission in CR, QOS taking place literally MINUTES afterwards (essentially being part of the same mission)… and then Bond being treated as "over the hill" in SKYFALL! (presumably, he gained his Austin Martin…
I just accepted it as a winking update of the traditional Bond "foreplay finale" (something actively rejected in the Craig era)
A good example of their approach was the opening of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER: aware that a big chunk of moviegoers had sat out OHMSS (and hoping that the return of Connery would lure them back), they more or less pick up exactly where the last Connery film, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, left off- with Bond in Japan hunting…
Seriously. Except for GOLDFINGER, all the Connery films form an actual story arc (albeit one wrapped up unsatisfactorarily), both Moore and Dalton made direct references back to the events of ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, and Judi Dench's M refers to her predecessor in GOLDENEYE. People only THINK there's no…
Like in WALKING TALL. I'm old skool.
He IS supposed to be doing a sequel.
(and that ass shot was VITAL TO THE PLOT, dammit!)
Not "that guy who SHOULD be playing a redneck sherrif"; the ACTUAL redneck sherriff- the guy from LIVE AND LET DIE and MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN.
There's a surprising amount of continuity for a series that plays so fast-and-loose with it's source material that they actually shot a trilogy out of order.
The first Zorro was great… but Spielberg apparently spent quite a bit of time developing it before Campbell got involved. (Ditto his two Bond films, which were both carefully planned "relaunches")
I don't know what a "Quantum Of Solace" is, but I once held a drinking game while watching a Bond marathon, and went through a Magnum Of Chivas.

But some people experiment with Bondage during their college years.
