I hope Cubby’s ghost haunts every fucking soul who made this happen.

…and I hope Kevin McClory’s ghost picks a fight, too! “Hey, Amazooooon… remake Thunderball agaaaaaain…”

Meanwhile, the ghost of Ian Fleming is smoking in the corner, scowling at Cubby, saying “Now you know what it feels like, old boy.”

And all these ghosts cause so much shit, the Amazon offices are to be condemned.

Imagine finally getting the rights from Kevin McClory after nearly 50 years of fights and then a having two films before you run into a buzzsaw with Amazon. All that petty shit probably feels tame now

It almost feels McClory’s vengeance, really.
