Here’s my take on #NoTimeToDie from more than a year and a half ago, before it got delayed. I’m glad I was wrong! https://t.co/5aoxdjzeyo — PolitiTweet.org

If you think Fukunaga didn't succeed in this, that's your prerogative. But to deny his sincere intentions—and overall intelligence and sensitivity—is, again, off base. — PolitiTweet.org

*No Time To Die*, on the other hand, was an attempt to deepen the character of James Bond and, in fact, push this figure—which makes modern people uncomfortable—into the realm of legend. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I'm sure many right-wing fanboys will hate this film and declare that Fukunaga gave Bond the "Last Jedi" treatment. This is wrong. *The Last Jedi* was a depressingly self-conscious attempt to subvert and demoralize the legend of Luke Skywalker. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In *No Time To Die*, Fukunaga—and he's one of the few who can pull this off—actually gave Bond an identity and personal attachments, and did it without engaging in too much sentimentality. I have immense respect. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

At the end of the film *Casino Royal*, Bond tells Vesper, "I have no armor left. Whatever I am ... I'm yours." This was one effective way of handling the dilemma. Bond still lacks an identity, but he's put whatever there is in the hands of Vesper—who promptly betrays him! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Bond is, much like the first-ever villain in the novel and film *Casino Royal,* a "cypher," a "double-0," a hole in the donut. And it's reasonable to say that we as an audience don't actually want to know how he is—in fact, there's no there, there. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

It's a good question! Ultimately, the fact that they can't do that—that the entire Craig era has produced morally ambiguous, dark Bond films—evinces a general anxiety about Ian Fleming's mid-century fantasy about a man, modeled on himself, who secretly revives the British Empire. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Many middle-aged Fleming and Bond fans, like myself, often ask, "Why can't they just make a normal Bond film!? What we mean is, "Why can't we see a self-confident, campy romp from the Roger Moore era?" — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Cary Fukunaga, the director of the 1st season of *True Detective*, is a genius. I don't think anyone else could have deepen, maybe even redeemed, the Craig era, which had become played out, tired, and morose of late. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I loved #NoTimeToDie. The best Bond film in more than a decade—and a Bond film to end all Bond films, in more ways than one. — PolitiTweet.org

N.B.: the Jewish intellectuals on the Right are the only ones who are actually interesting and valuable. There’s a lot to learn from, say, Leo Strauss. The Catholics…not so much. With no exceptions, they are pale imitations or simply vacuous. Buckley, again, set the standard. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

WASPs are clearly in decline, but the more successful ones have chosen the path of liberalism; in that way, they’ve been more successful than the Catholic Right, which has, self-consciously, chosen the path of “losing with grace” and LARPing as “traditionalists.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

One of the most important trends in the history of postwar “Conservatism” is the rise of Catholic intellectuals—Buckley being paradigmatic—herding a White Protestant voting base (“Religious Right”). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I don’t say this to express any WASP resentment—that we’ve been barred from the conservative club, and have been for 70 years. Though I’m sure there’s a little bit of that… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

New version of Jewish-Catholic Conservatism just dropped. No doubt, this one will be even more successful than 1.0. https://t.co/iuMCT8R9fS — PolitiTweet.org
