Well, he's not dark chocolate, but he's not quite milk chocolate either... He's chocolate cream (very appropriate considering his early adverts for Fry's).

The budgets that Wright had for Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz weren't small by any means, especially for what they were. That's not to say the films aren't great and didn't use creative techniques. He's also dealt with budgets at around £45 million…

Random point, but despite having seen a fair few of Clive Owen's films (Children of Men is a great film), my main point of reference for him is legitimately that segment of the Ricky Gervais Show where Karl Pilkington pitches a film idea starring hi…

But again, Gilbert was a ‘dramatist’. And one of Young’s big contributions to the films was helping introduce the broader humour. What you’re describing with those examples is (kind of) an evolution of the film Bond and its humour… sort of.

Personally, I really can’t see a reason why EON wouldn’t hire a ‘dramatist’ to direct a Bond film. Some of the most successful Bond films of all time - FRWL, GF, TSWLM, SF etc - were all helmed by directors who had a lot of expirience with dramas (a…

I think ideally they want a similar situation to what they had with Mendes on SF - that’s to say EON seemingly had specific ideas of what they wanted from the film, and the director’s job was to help develop this. I mean, that’s the situation with N…

Y’know, I think out of all the Bond films, I don’t think there’s ever been one that took as many creative opportunities available to them that SF did. You can even argue it’s almost too conscious about what exactly it’s trying to do/how it does it, …

Matt Reeves is actually the kind of director well suited to Bond. He reminds me more of a Lewis Gilbert in the sense he's a director who's worked his way up from doing moderately budgeted studio films to larger budget ones (so unlike a Nolan who sta…

Can't beat that GE shot for me. So good.

I love how Bond's flats in both films are absurdly big for places in London. They both look like houses. LALD's looks nicer though. Very cosy and warm looking.

Unfortunately that's the way of the internet. Very few of those people would dare say those things publicly, and certainly not to anyone's faces. Awful really. But ultimately it seems to amount to very few people, and it's something these tabloid…
