TIME FOR THE FRANCHISE TO DIE
DIE, BOND, DIE!
DIE ANOTHER DAY - PART TWO
DIE PIE SKY

Totally agree, as you mentioned this is the 4th time the word 'DIE' has been used. Personally I would have liked 'Shaken, not Stirred' but each to their own.
Who knows what Bond 26 will be called? I'll speculate with 'DIE A REAR'. (I'll get my coat)
I'm really not sure what the issue you blokes have with "Die" being used again for NTTD—it's only the fourth time it's in a title...out of 25 films...16 percent.
Just be glad each title doesn't start with "James Bond: ..." like so many other series are now stuck with. Bond films don't need to mention Bond in the title, they're in a unique position where certain words/phrasing used have the ability to more or less shout out to the public that "this is the title of a James Bond film"—one of those words being "die", something that I definitely don't think is of place in a series where the main character is essentially an assassin. I'm actually quite surprised it hasn't been used in more of the titles TBH.
Anyway, whatever the title ended up being, we would have had people arguing, that's just the nature of the beast. I like it and it's made me even more excited for some additional info though some set pics or the teaser trailer.
