Prisoners is such a great film. But I must admit, I find all of Villeneuve’s other films a bit dull, accomplished as they are. Even Sicario, Dune and Arrival don’t do much for me.

Personally, I believe GE is about as perfect as any Bond film can get. One of my favourites and always has been. It’s near flawless, with just one notable exception…. The fact that the stinger missiles on the BMW are foreshadowed, and absolutely …

I love reading about Burgess' TSWLM. I do hope at some point down the line a similar article about Boyle/Hodge's work on Bond 25 is written, with a similar breakdown of what was intended (but I suspect we'll have to wait a bit for that).

I will say he has a great voice for the part. I can easily see (or rather hear) him doing the voice of Bond for a radio adaptation or a video game. But other than that I've never gotten Bond from him. But hey, at the end of the day he's an actor.…

AVTAK is actually the first Bond film I ever watched so I have a soft spot for it. I mean, it ultimately depends on the day. There are sometimes when NTTD isn’t the Bond film I necessarily want to watch! At the current time (so really right now, …

For me what makes LALD sometimes come off that way is partly the aspect ratio and partly because the filmmaking can, at times, be outright lazy (ie. The fact that no one reacts to the guy dying at the conference which comes off less as a tangible jo…

I mean, I suppose it depends on your definition of A-list, but plenty of actors under 50 can sell even a smaller film with their name (at least as much as any A-Lister ever could - even the greats like Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant and certainly Marlon …

I think they definitely keep an eye out for potential actors even when they have a Bond. It makes sense that they would anyway. Whether or not one especially jumps out at them this time round like Craig did is another matter, but I think they’ve at …

I do wonder as well if Cubby began saying that after Connery left. It would certainly make sense, and often these things have a self serving element (anyway, Cubby wasn’t blind to how audiences viewed each Bond - he certainly kept asking Moore back …
