So either Dench is playing at least two different M's or Bond is a codename for the 007 agents and Craig is a totally different human being playing out a professional biography to confuse anyone trying to identify him and previous agents.
Or a third option.
The Bond films are an endless series of spy movies with no real continuity, but occasional nods to previous movies that aren't meant to mean much.
Why the metal gymnastics to try and fit films into logic and labels that they are plainly not made to fit?

Well that's kind of getting into subjectivity. I mean most people "count" Keaton as the first Batman in movie form but, that's completely false. Adam West was the first Batman in theatrical movie distrubution. Whoever was Batman in Batman Dracula was first in a small exhibition in a museum. So who gets credit for the first?
Does being first really matter? If Andy Warhol's Batman/Dracula hypothetically had been first, would it matter, since no one saw it? Would it make Burton's "Batman" a remake?
If something is a 'remake' doesn't it require a familiarity with the original on the part of the creator?
If there's a newly discovered film of "Green Lantern" from the 70s, does that make the new Green Lantern suddenly a 'remake?'

It's like that now, is it?
Fine. Gaffer, you can have him. I give up!
(But for the record, I also didn't care very much for the new Star Trek... I wouldn't say "hate", but I didn't love it.)

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don't exist... then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks... and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Well reguardless of Batman Dracula. To imply that Tim Burton & crew had no knowledge of the Adam West tv show and movie prior to production is just odd.
