I'm not up on the Bond canons, but after watching Die Another Day, wonder whether, if I was, I'd be making an argument for Die Another Day as the most fannish Bond film? The film throughout seems to both propose and subvert a classic Bond film structure, and there seems something particularly Mary Sue-ish about Colonel Moon, Jinx and Miranda; Moon, explicitly, is a fan who wants to be his hero. The lashings of CGI gave the impression of the film unfolding in a cyberdreamscape, with the final clash between Jinx and Frost coming across like a battle of the fangirls wanting control of the plot. Moon's name was perhaps a reference to 'Robert Markham''s Colonel Sun, the first (I think) licensed post-Fleming Bond novel. Even if greater familiarity with the series would prove this a misreading, I still found it entertaining...
