There is of course a potential third option...

Fennell's not a perfect director by any means, but she's clearly an interesting one with a lot of style. I'd prefer her to not have the lead involvement in writing the script (her endings aren't always strong in my opinion) but she'd add a lot. I en…

Good question, and I'd say it depends on which film I'd ultimately pick as my first of the year. That really depends on the situation and mood I'm in ultimately! My go to 'pizza and beer' Bond films when others are with me are CR and TND. The Bon…

Weirdly I haven’t found very much info about scrapped ideas or early drafts when it comes to MR. I know James Mason was originally considered for Drax, but I wouldn’t count that as I think Lonsdale is great. I love the original novel but I’m not sur…

Both flawed films which don't reach their full potential. I think a major issue with QOS is that from a simple technical/filmmaking perspective it has moments which are near unwatchable, and I think a big reason for this was the questionable directi…
