“Sorry Spy Commander, suck it up. Some of us have bigger fish to fry!”
It has been an embarrassment of riches for the Spy Commander these days.
“Mr. Warner” keeps putting out more promos for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie that the Spy Commander can keep up with. A new SPECTRE trailer is out, demonstrating the 24th James Bond movie will attempt to combine Daniel Craig style with “classic” Bond elements. Oh, yeah. A new Mission: Impossible movie is coming out next week.
On top of that, the Spy Commander has had an unexpected opportunity to delve into 007’s cinema past, thanks to copies of scripts from Bond collector Gary J. Firuta. (Bond and Scaramanga calling each other “punk”? PROSPECTIVE BUYER instead of J.W. Pepper?)
Occasionally, there’s the bitter with the sweet. This blog has never been “Rah! Rah!” Some readers don’t like that. Then again, if you send posts for public consumption, there are always going to be critics. That’s the way of the world.
As Napoleon Solo observes in the accompanying image, people have bigger fish to fry.
Despite arguments (“Why are they making an U.N.C.L.E. movie anyway?” or “That’s a spoiler!”), this is actually a great time to be a spy fan. We’ve already had new spy entertainment this year, and “The Year of the Spy” is now kicking into high gear.
So whatever happens in the next few days, weeks and months, remember to enjoy it. The Spy Commander intends to do so.

The Spy Command 
Thanks!
(Though ‘Gary J. Firuta’ looks better. “Still, it beats a bag of peanuts.”

Middle initial added! The least I could do for all the enjoyment I’ve gotten from reading these scripts.
Going to see them all! Thanks for the posts! Keep them coming!!!

Am I the only one who thinks that the U.N.C.L.E. film could be a lot of fun?
