Different kinds of screen presences, characters, and beauty I suppose. I personally find Blackman’s Galore the ‘sexiest’ Bond girl.

Both Villeneuve and Knight have a history of crafting male characters (and I guess characters in general) who are flawed, have some element of duality to them, and often have some sort of personal trauma that’s hinted or written very explicitly into…

My suspicion is they’ll have plenty of deference to the previous era. Not out of obligation or to continue a legacy, but just out of good old creative instinct. Villeneuve’s said he’s a fan of CR and SF, and of course Pascal even worked on those fil…

Oh, NTTD for whatever issues I have with it, was a generous and vibrant looking film. SF had its contrasts (the dull greys of London alongside the vibrant, contrasty Shanghai) but was pretty amazing. I wouldn’t even call SP a dull looking film (some…

I think whatever way casting Bond will be Amazon MGM’s biggest test. It’s one thing to get talented producers, writers, and directors onboard. It’s another thing to pick the actor who’s going to be the face of this franchise. It’ll be interesting…

I think it’s definitely shaping up to be a very interesting film. Frankly the level of talent involved here gives me a SF feeling, regardless of what we get. I think it’ll be a film which gives us a few surprises whatever way. Frankly James Bond …

Wait, Steven Knight co-created Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? I’m sure I’ve even learnt this before and forgotten…. That’s certainly an interesting career. Ah well. I’m happy with that! I’ve enjoyed Peaky Blinders and I thought what I saw of SAS …

Really? I guess it depends, but people can be in excellent shape in their late 30s and for many it’s their peak (and after all we’re not talking about real life but fiction. One can argue gravitas is more important than being a very specific age wit…

Maybe, maybe not. I won’t hold my breath in order to avoid a repeat of CinemaCon, haha.

Must admit, I've debated this a bit, but I unfortunately don't think I can participate in this one. I don't think there's a definitive Bond, and while I think there are preferences on this site/away from here, I don't ultimately think it's fair w…

The way I see it is this: there's such minimal effort involved in finding this theory nonsense (as said it makes little sense). But it takes an incredible suspension of disbelief and even thought to make the theory work, especially considering the f…

He's better in that trailer than anything else I've seen him in, I must admit. I'm still a bit skeptical, but what will be will be, and I'd be happy to be surprised.
