  • Interesting, thank you. That back cover blurb does not seem written well at all to me.

  • Oh I’m sorry, I completely forgot about this.

  • I've got nothing against that idea particularly. He's good, and experienced. Can do funny as well, I liked him in See How They Run.

  • That bear scene was the best one in the film for me; it actually is funny.

  • Yes, it was brilliantly done. I didn't spot quite where it was going, although there were loads of clues along the way. It was like a dark version of Lego Movie or Barbie where Barbie turns out to be evil :D

  • Oh gosh: it's a Bond film, I want high stakes. If not saving the world then at least a few million lives! Funnily enough it makes me think that Skyfall is maybe the film with the lowest stakes of all? Although there are agents at stake, the ultim…

  • Bloodlustre (no I've no idea what it means either, but seems kind of Bondy in that it's a pun, and is sort of violent and luxurious at the same time!) By Strength And Guile It's the SBS's motto.

  • Much more intelligently put than I could manage, @Reflsin2bourbons !

  • There's a piece in the Guardian today by Higson on the reception to OHisMSS when it came out last year: ‘Bond’s gone woke!’ Charlie Higson on the row around his ‘metrosexual’ 007 It's a good read.

  • Is it the only film where he got to wear a kilt? Deserves to be seen for that alone :D

  • Another absolute stunner this week. I'm so glad DW is back after the last few years of doldrums. I did not expect it to go there either: brilliantly handled. And after that final scene Gatwa is 100% the Doctor for me now. I could see his old soul p…

  • I have a bit of a soft spot for The Avengers. It doesn't work but there's a kind of potential in there.

  • I wouldn't mind a rebooted Scaramanga. I think he was one of the best villains but got given a pretty rubbish deal by his movie.

  • Eon/MGM own the James Bond trademark, so they'd still have to licence the name from them. IFP have to.

  • Watching the end, in their big confrontation in the kneeling scene, I do think I can tell that Malek just isn't matching Craig. Bardem did it perfectly, Mikkelsen too, and Waltz was fine but didn't quite have the material perhaps, but Malek just isn…
