  • I mean, he could be lying about never having met BB (it’d be a pretty pointless lie even if he were seriously being considered/contractually obligated not to say anything or whatever - many people have met Broccoli and likely it’s simply not somethi…
  • Like I said, he’s not lying when he says these things.
  • Both damn good films, but it’s FRWL for me. It’s the film where Connery truly plays James Bond (in DN he’s great but plays a version of the character that is always two steps ahead, and very sure of himself - by contrast his performance in FRWL show…
  • I really can’t say there are any missed opportunities. Honestly, changing the game from Baccarat to poker makes absolutely no difference to me as I still have no idea how either of these games work, and really couldn’t care less. I’m able to underst…
  • Well, I think Turner’s another one who’s not all that interested really (at least from what I’ve read/ from what I understand are his most recent comments). He’s had Bond rumours thrown at him for at least 10 years now as well. I don’t think his …

  • I feel the thing about TMWTGG is that it's so flawed and even strange, and yet close to being much better than it is, that watching it is a weirdly fun experience. You can think about all of the missed opportunities, what could have been done differ…
  • I haven't watched The Gentleman fully yet, but from clips and what I have seen I can see why people are impressed with James. And yeah, he's a very good actor. Definitely has a very good natural voice for the role. I can see it. But that said, I …

  • Perhaps this is controversial to say, but I often think heaping certain directors into that ‘greatest of all time’ category has its problems. Often I’ve found it can be a way of dismissing what people perceive as a popular director’s flaws (and they…
  • Indeed, the photos are meaningless. BB talks to and knows so many people in the film/TV industry, and even if she likes them as people she'll know full well who she'd rather have helming or staring in her films. sandbagger1 wrote: » Out of inte…

  • I really can’t tell how well Gunn’s DC will fare. Like I said it’s just not something I’m excited about (I certainly don’t think it’ll capture the magic of the Batman, Superman and Justice League animated series I watched as a kid, and if anything i…

  • Honestly, I’d take The Batman Part 2 over a James Gunn DC universe or whatever. But hey, it’ll come out when it comes out. May even mean a 2026 with both a Batman and Bond movie (potentially anyway).

  • Hadn’t heard of that show before now, but as the basis of a movie it sounds awesome.
